It is with great pleasure that I announce a new record for the blog.  As of today, we have broken our daily view record.  Previously at 263 viewers in one day (calculated back in December), we’ve started off February with an even 300!

This is exciting, and it is an expecially hopeful sign for the year to come.  Hopefully it will be one of diversification and growth on the blog.  In addition to the daily music videos we post, we have begun to add chords to popular (and also some obscure) songs and we have continued to write articles having to do with writing, recording, and listening to rock music.

Rock music is what we know how to do best, and we’re here to share whatever we can in as wide an array of formats as possible.

Speaking of which, I’ll be back in a few hours, posting for the third time today with the first in a series of rock music articles.

Thank you for all your support and all your views!  Tell your friends, tell your family, tell your lovers, and, heck, even tell your pets.  We’ll take all the views we can get!  🙂

A “Chris Moore Monday” Premiere!

Well, I am regretfully feeling pretty terrible tonight and my throat has taken quite the hit.  So, should we just cancel the session for the night and wait for “Jim Fusco Tuesday?”…

Not a chance!

Instead of a music video tonight, I’m working on the first in a series of articles on rock music that I will release in the coming year.  I’m still trying to work on a name for the series as a whole.  Maybe “Rock Face: The Face of Rock Music Today.”  Sorry, that was a shameless inside joke that only a few of you will get.

Seriously, though, I’m working hard on this article now and I hope you enjoy it when I post it later tonight.

On an unrelated note, the Bruce Springsteen Halftime Show performance yesterday was even more exciting than I thought it would be, for a number of reasons.  First of all, the performance itself was great.  As Jim’s father pointed out, it looked like Springsteen would need to be hooked up to oxygen immediately after the show, based on all the energy he put into the twelve minute performance.  Once again, I’m not really a Springsteen fanatic, but I love his recent work.  I’ve been somewhat unimpressed with his live work (including a couple of concerts televised on television over the past few years), but the Super Bowl performance was certainly a high point of the game for me.  I realize that’s sacriledge and I may be branded as an outcast, but so be it…  Oh, and that being said, there’s a really funny list on a Yahoo! blog today called: “The 10 Unforgivable Sins Of Bruce Springsteen’s Performance At The Super Bowl.”  Jim sent it to me earlier today.  Worth a read for any music fan.

The second reason why the performance was so exciting is its aftermath.  I posted the set list and some general comments and predictions yesterday, mainly because I was looking forward to the show and it was on my mind.  Well, the post helped catapult us to an all-new view record for a single day on the Laptop Sessions music blog!  Thank you, Super Bowl, and thank you, Bruce Springsteen!

Stay tuned for the article to come; I hope you enjoy reading it!
