Official or not, I’m too excited to wait for this countdown any longer.

It’s now only 101 (one hundred and one) days until the greatest day of the year.

I don’t know about you, but I really love the number 101. It just rolls off of the tongue so well. “One-oh-one”. Easy money.

It’s also great for jokes when you reference the fact that “101″ is usually the introductory course for any college class. Examples could be:

• Carcass got an A+ in Heavy Metal 101.
• Disturbed got an F- in Heavy Metal 101.
• Price (that’s me) got an A+ in Sexy 101.
• Danzig got a B+ in Caveman 101.

Today’s reference is to Carcass‘ song Room 101, off of the Swansong album. We here love everything and anything that’s Carcass. Seeing them live was potentially the greatest day of our lives.

Swansong might be regarded as a relatively weak and commercial album, but it is still much more metal than any of the shit coming out these days. Listen and enjoy.
