that's actually more than i thought there were.
the wife has jumped headlong into a project to completely digitize our music collection. since starting up with iTunes a couple years ago, we've made incremental progress, adding things in bursts, or when we felt like hearing something specific (we're pretty much without a stereo these days, so the computer is the main listening outlet). in that time we convereted over 9,500 songs, so when we started going through all the albums starting with "A" and adding those that we hadn't already, i started wondering what number 10,000 would be. Friday night, we got the answer: "Fuck This Shit" by Belle and Sebastian from the Storytelling soundtrack, an album whose existence made the NME posit that "the most hardened fan(s) of dreary Scottish indie....must be preparing to stab themselves repeatedly in the eyes with their Hello Kitty badges in order to stay awake for the whole thing." i couldn't hum it for you on a bet (it's an instrumental), but we got a pretty good laugh out of the profane title. now we'll have to see what #11,111 ends up being.
