Approaching an iTunes milestone: 20,000 songs

I wish I had a clever way to celebrate this momentous achievement for any music collector — an astounding Nineteen-thousand nine-hundred sixty-one songs in my digital music collection. If those songs were played one after the other it would take 53.9 days to finish listening to all of them (my iTunes tells me so).
The most recent addition to iTunes is the book-on-mp3 Crime and Punishment (abridged) by Fyodor Dostoevsky. The first songs uploaded to the library several years ago were by David Bowie and Adrian Belew. In between are 19,000-odd songs representing a mish-mosh of musical genres spanning indie rock, rap, R&B, alt-country, and classical.
I’m curious to see what song number 20,000 will be. As I did for 10,000, I’ll have this mp3 milestone up for downloading soon after. Hope it’s a random, obscure one.

Oh yeah, forgot to name that tune…
Number 20,000 was “Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa” by Vampire Weekend from their self-titled album. And a damn good album it is!
