Moving up in the world

I was having a tasty double burger at A Burger Place on the Ave a moment ago, and I was reading The Stranger. As I flipped to the music section, I noticed they have an article on Seattle music blogs, with the subtitle of "The Best Seattle Music Blogs You Might Not Know."

"Oh cool," I thought to myself. "I wonder if SPB got a mention." In fact, it did! But, not in the way I expected. Apparently SPB has moved up in the world. While I still think of this thing as an upstart, a newbie, still struggling for readership, The Stranger thinks differently.

We've steered clear of widely read long-runners like Three Imaginary Girls and Seattle Powerpop, and we know we haven't hit every one worth mentioning.

Turns out that I'm both widely read and a long-runner! That's awesome! Maybe my site meter is broken or something. :) I'm being snarky. But, thanks to The Stranger for mentioning SPB. It's cool to think that after just a bit more than a year I can be grouped with the incredible TIG as a mover and shaker in the world of Seattle music online stuff.
