iTunes Meme in the Third Dimension

Two years in, and I'm apparently still going somewhat strong. So I'm redoing the iTunes meme, and noting that I only saw 293 films this year (total of 3328 films), meaning I didn't even make one a day. Stupid election, purchasing of PS3, and having somewhat more of a social life. Restricting my movie watching, damnit!

How many total songs?
19259, that's 49 days, 2 hours, and 3 seconds or 79 GB. That's 4413 more songs than last year, although by when I added current iterations of tracks, there are 4743 more tracks.

Sort by Song Title - first and last?
'(none)' from Ted Leo & the Pharmacists's Tej Leo (?), Rx/Pharmacists
Zürich Is Stained from Pavement's Slanted & Enchanted: Luxe & Deluxe
Zürich Is Stained is the same, but the acquiring of Tej Leo led to a bunch of junk by an otherwise amazing band.

Sort by Artist - first and last?
!!!
ZZ Top
Stupid Guitar Hero. If it weren't for that, it would have been Zumpano, a far superior way to end it.

Sort by Time - first and last?
Bonus Track from Ani DiFranco's Not a Pretty Girl
Symphony no. 9 from the BBC Philharmonic's Beethoven's Symphonies
Same as last year. It's hard to go shorter than 4 seconds and longer than 67 minutes.

Sort by Album - first and last?
! from Dismemberment Plan
Zooropa from U2
Same, although iTunes has some new sorting ways that I just discovered and are neat.

Top Five Played Songs:
Art Class (Song for Yayoi Kusama) from Superchunk's Here's to Shutting Up
Some Small History from Portastatic on Old Enough To Know Better
Kicks in the Schoolyard from the Rosebuds' The Rosebuds Make Out
Tomorrow Never Knows from The Beatles's Revolver
No Cars Go from Arcade Fire's Neon Bible
Last year didn't have Tomorrow Never Knows or No Cars Go, but getting another version of No Cars Go, along with the awesome concert just made me listen to it more.

Ten Last Played
Two Characters in Search of a Country Song from The Magnetic Fields's The Charm of the Highway Strip
Be Mine from Robyn's Robyn
My Downtown Friends from The Rosebuds's TheRosebudsMakeOut
I'm Shipping up to Boston from The Dropkick Murphys's The Warrior's Code
Buggin' from The Flaming Lips's The Soft Bulletin
Cars Pass in Cold Blood from The Faint's Blank Wave Arcade
You're the One I Want from Jets to Brazil's Perfecting Loneliness
Satellite of Love from Lou Reed's Transformer
Pink Clouds (acoustic) from Superchunk's Hello Hawk
Another Morning Stoner from And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead's Source Tags & Codes
