Woo hoo! I actually got to hear my stream play this milestone song because I accidently “cheated” on making it happen. Yesterday, I took the Mini (which would also take Picayune and KMAG offline) offsite to be backed up before my friend Jeremy started stage one of installing Drupul. One can never be too careful when it comes to messing with MySQL, PHP and all that Open Source jazz. I support customers all day long who don’t back up their servers. I know very well the consequences of no Plan B or C or D.
Anyway, this took KMAG out of commission for nearly 12 hours; I didn’t get home until 730 PM, followed by its weekly updating of the Onion News, Top 30 plus some odds and ends tunes I’ve “discovered” to add (Curse you Guitar Hero & Rock Band!). When I saw how close it was, I had my MacBook set up to watch the stream’s log in real time. Based upon my math I figured I had a good chance of hearing it when we wook up for exercising and work…and I did. As always, it wasn’t anything in the “Top 30,” currently Cut///Copy, Ting Tings, Peter Gabriel and the Dresden Dolls.
Drum roll please for song 800,000…
“Killed by Love” by The Pursuit of Happiness
Not bad. It’s from their debut album which appeared 20 years ago and I did see them open for Duran Duran within that time frame.
Onward to 900,000 and then one million!
