I stumbled across this stat thingy when I was looking into a co. that wants to advertise on my blog. I use wordpress.com so I don’t advertise on here but I was curious to know more about this company. Anyway, they had a link to this stats site which showed the stats for my site which I found interesting. I have no idea how they determined I had 38,000 pageviews a month at any point in my blogs existence but whatever. Maybe there is someone out there who is good with numbers that can explain it to me.

“Are we just falling for the classic case of disliking a band we once liked now that people who don’t really know anything about the art of music really like them?”

Niki and the Dove is a band from Stockholm, Sweden with two members, Malin Dahlström and Gustaf Karlöf. Getting together in February 2010, Malin and Gustaf have spent the time since writing together, figuring out just how pop music works and then discovering new ways to break it.
Niki and the Dove’s songs are full of magic and light but with an unsettling darkness hidden beneath the surface. It’s pop music but a world away from the production line aesthetics of much modern chart music.
