While the commenting has fallen off a bit towards the end of the year, I still have to say the WeeklyBeats community is much more verbose than what I've seen in most of the music world. It's pretty dead out there.

good point

I started doing a thing called "12 EPs in 12 Months", but only did two or maybe three as I just couldn't do it.

Maybe work all the material into an album? Keep going anyway, keeping a blog up or something?

vin, plenty of the tracks i've worked on for WB this year are for a concept album.. so these are pretty much the demos and then i'll record with full amps blazing and live drums!  No slowing down here!

Yeah, my wife and kids aer wondering about next year, too. I'm thinking about posting a classical piece performance every week. I like the habit building, and yeah, the community is great.

this year cant end fast enough for me.  i am so over wb no one comments.. and i really dont take it very seriously anymore. I was much more into it in 2012

Last week there were 85 submissions, this time two years ago there were half as many (46 actually). We're on a declining trend, but still way above last time's numbers. Simply put, there's too much volume to process for the pleb.
