Perhaps My Favourite Series of Album Covers Ever

  2. Domenica Pomeriggio
  3. Scared of Everyone

Just thought I’d give a teeny update on the statistics front. About a year ago, I was averaging around 40-50 page views per day, with a one-day high of 170. As of today, I’m averaging about 150 views per day, and an all-time high of 494.
