Nice, round play counts are exciting for certain dorks like me. Just like when your odometer rolls over. I guess.

Anyway, while drunk (yes, I'm a phenomenal typist whilst drunk), I noticed I was approaching the big 6-0-0-0-0. Hence, I played one of my all-time favorite songs from one of my all-time favorite bands. Behind Radiohead, we have Animal Collective and their magnum opus, My Girls. They have plenty of great songs, but this one is just so perfect. Not a shitty way to ring in the 60,000th play.

I got my 50,000th play (to the tune of Paranoid Android, the song and band that ended up getting me into indie music) on Nov. 24, 2009 @ 6:27pm. It took me 13 months, 1 day and about 6 hours to accrue 10,000 more plays. At this rate, I'll hit 70,000 on Jan. 27th, 2012. We'll see.

On my 25,000th play, I used the "rate" it took to get my 1st 25,000 to see how long it'd take to hit 50,000. I predicted June 30th, 2010, so I was off by almost 5 months.

Alright, going to bed. Happy Kwanzaa.
