I know the numbers are arbitrary on their own, but I can’t help looking at page views. It lets me know that someone has taken the time to investigate what I’ve written and, if they stick around, great. If not, fair enough (but I always hope they come back). So I decided to look up the top 10 posts published this year and then ended up finding 12 and in the spirit of arbitrariness, went with a dozen instead. I didn’t publish as much this year as I have in previous years for many reasons but I’m happy with the general output given that fact I have 4 other blogs.
In no particular order:
- Kaytranada’s DJ Set for Adult Swim Festival 2020

- Akai’s ‘new’ MPC One Retro Edition
