{Update: Now I see why I wasn’t able to get a mix up last year, it’s damn hard picking through these posts for the top tracks. Additionally I think the concept of “33 & 1/3” songs is pretty cool, but I don’t have the skills to chop things up to make it into a concise and entertaining mix, so I’ll be posting my two anniversary mixes on 7-14 instead of today 7-11…They’ll feature my Top 20 faves from the past year’s Dig Deep section and I’m gonna call them “Melting Pot’s Deepest Digs” and I hope you’ll dig them too!}
Today marks exatly two years since I started this blog. On a personal and professional note, the past year has been hectic and a bit rough at times, but I’ve been able to keep the posts and the music coming here on Melting Pot. I feel like I’ve let a few things slide, but I’m hopeful that I’ll be able to get back to features I haven’t been posting nearly as regularly as I would like (such as Top 5’s, What Does It All Mean? and Pound For Pounds) and digging even deeper for the ones that have become a regular fixture on this blog.
The number of people checking things out has continued to increases every month since the beginning and for that I’m very very thankful. Thanks to all of you who check out the blog, the music, the radio show and especially those of you who have supported KPFK and Melting Pot in the past. Please continue to spread the word about this blog and the radio show!
At last year’s anniversary I’d mentioned that I was thinking of doing a mix of music from the past year, this year I plan to make good on that promise, so on 7-11-11 I’ll be posting two, that’s right TWO, special mixes (for real this time!). I think we’ll call them, “Melting Pot Digs Deep” and they’ll feature 33 and 1/3 of my favorite tracks from the past year’s Dig Deep posts. Music is generally only supposed to be up here for a month (I realize I’m seriously due for some cleaning…expect things to be back in line next week), but I’ll leave these up for just a little longer…33 and 1/3 days.
Thanks for checking things out and please keep spreading the word…Onwards and Upwards!
Cheers,
Michael
