Touch & Go Records
T & G are probably one of the top three 'indie' record labels in the US (along with SST and Sub Pop) of the past 30 years. They're having a big 25 Anniversary Bash with reunions featuring some of my favouritist bands.
Pitchforkmedia are running an interview with label founder Corey Rusk and they also have a list of some of the best records from the labels history. Lots of musical goodness on the list . . . Slint, Big Black, Rodan, Brainiac, June of 44, Shellac, Girls vs Boys, Don Cabellero, For Carnations, Butthole Surfers.

RAID Failure Rate
I'm going to sound like a bit of a NetApp schill but I found another pointer to to the statistically probability of a RAID reconstruct failure - Expect Double Disk Failures With ATA Drives. 9% with four drives and 48% with 16 drives. Nasty.
