Old school sitcoms used to do something like 23 episodes every season.
That's a lot of content creation to come up with every week.
That was a major part of what let to the phenomenon of the "clip show" where characters sit around reminiscing and each memory triggers a clip of previously-aired footage.
Consider this week our "clip show" episode for the blog.
We'll post about what our top 10 most visited blog posts are.
Although there is a tiny lesson for us and others to examine what ideas get the most hits or interest.
Category Scorecard
We have eight categories here on our blog: 1) Our Music, 2) Other Peoples Music, 3) Video Content, 4) Accounts of Past Shows, 5) The Music Business, 6) Playlists, 7) General Pop Culture, and 8) Miscellaneous.
Here's how our Top 10 Posts break down by category

Miscellaneous (0)
What's the apparent lesson here?
Writing about other people's music instead of The Bigfellas is better clickbait.
Even though the numbers about clicks say differently, I still think the blog is a little more insightful when we write about our own experiences.
The List
Here's the top ten posts (based on visits) and their subject matter
What can I learn about this?
Of course musicians are narcissistic to get on a stage and say "look at me" so I'm not going to stop writing about our music.
But when it comes to writing about music in general, pick subjects that haven't been covered much before.
A best comedy sketches article about Mr. Show stands out more than one about Saturday Night Live.
Everybody can write a year-end best-of playlist, but how many other people are writing 2000 words about the best music from NFL Films?
That's probably a great and obvious takeaway: when writing, pick a lane or a topic that hasn't been covered to death.
And when you need to generate more content for your blog, don't be afraid of a "clip show."
