Three years ago today we launched Loft965.com onto the internet. It has been a whirlwind of a trip ever since and is still going strong. Instead of going on rants about how great it is and all, we decided to just give a synopsis by numbers through the history of the blog and what it has become.

#65 most- read music blog on Wikio (we’ve been on a long vacation, still not bad at all)
