   Thanks for the heads-up.

     I've been stuck at 99.68% for an hour. Yay bittorrent.

       Ditto. Part of me wants to do my good deed for the day and snag those last 16 songs from the SXSW site myself so I have all the bits and can seed... but with my luck the torrent's versions have SLIGHTLY different metadata and it'd be for naught.

         Yeah, I tried that once with a music torrent and it didn't work. Of course my tech-fu is weak, so who knows.

         "Availability 0.997" suggests I'll be joining you guys before long.

   I miss the entertaining SXSW six word reviews. That's a lot of work to go through that many songs when subjectively most of them are crap.

   I've fallen for this trap in the past. Culling the stuff is so much work that I just end up with weird stuff on my hard drive/ipod that invariably enters the shuffle at the worst possible moment.

   I don't know if suggesting songs will be helpful, but why not. Here's what I think you'd like from the torrent:

   Allison Weiss, Making it up
   Big Black Delta, huggin' and kissin'
   Boy + Kite, Think in Stereo
   Camera, Ausland
   Delorentos, Did We Ever Really Try
   Feathers, Land of the Innocent
   Harouki Zombi, Objet Petit A
   Holy Esque, Tear
   Le Matos, Sarah
   My Education, Roboter hohlenbewohner
   My Gold Mask, Burn Like the Sun
   Nightmare Air, Escape
   Popeska, Karmamemter
   Pretty Little Demons, I Don't Wanna Grow up
   Sarah Jaffe, Glorified High
   Schaffer the Darklord, A Lot Like Me
   South London Ordnance, Big Boss Theme
   S U R V I V E, Floating Cube

   ... and that's as far as I've gotten.
