By The Numbers

764 – number of songs available from this year’s (unofficial) SXSW torrent.

5000 – number of staples I have used at work since I started in September 2005. Clearly, a crowing achievement.

8 – the different variations of colored vinyl offered by Vinyl Collective for the “redux” of ALKALINE TRIO’s classic Goddamnit.

1868 – estimated amount in dollars that I will spend on diapers for my son before he is potty-trained in several years. Shudder.

1331 – estimated amount of dollars that I will likely spend on buying cups of coffee while at work during the same time period that my son is wearing diapers. Yeow!

144 – number of bands/artists that have songs available on eMusic with “Water” in their name.

1 – presumably, the number of metal bands with the wording MESHUGGAH in their name. Speaking of which, you can now stream their upcoming full-length Obzen in its entirety here.
