Every now and then, we lovers of this blog like to get together in this space and celebrate a milestone or landmark that this blog has achieved.
It may be a landmark to celebrate a particular artist’s hundredth (or even thousandth) song on this blog. Or it may be a landmark to celebrate yet another “century” on the blog song-count itself.

Each one of these milestones always gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.
