Happy Birthday.

So I realised today that Smidgem has hit the big 01. That's right it was a year ago Saturday that this blog was brought into this world to share with you all the wondrous joy that is music. I'm not going to lie I feel a little warm inside writing this, I imagine it's comparable to that of raising a child (almost definitely not comparable), the feeling of creating something that has come so far in so little time. From it's ever so humble beginnings as a page that I could share music I was "feelin'" at the time, to having numerous contributors each in their own way diversifying the content (as much as you can in the small niche' of Electronic music) and making Smidgem a happy place for music lovers around the world. A year ago a I never would have thought that our inbox would be overflowing with promo or that we would have interviews and exclusive content but I guess that just goes to show the power that blogs have in the modern age of music. This is something that I've only come to realise since I became part of that world, albeit a small part it's these masses of small parts that make the whole. For the future? Onward and upward I say, the Blogosphere will only grow more and more each day and with it the number of people acquiring their music from blogs will grow. I would also like to add a huge thank you to our readers, whether you're a regular or this is the first post you've read everyone at Smidgem would like to say THANK YOU. Also I would like to thank you if you've read this far into my rant but I feel it's deserving of such an occasion. Smidgem will endeavour to make our second year bigger and better than our first not sure how or why but I know we can.

Oh and here's a song, a bit of an old one now...however I can't think of a song more appropriate.
