This (found on Virtual Turntable) is great. The author did a statistical analysis of the words used in Pitchfork music reviews, used the positive and negative scores to "generate a set of compositional guidelines," and wrote some songs.

The “sadness” group is by far the highest-scoring mood, beating the next mood (“dark”) by over 1100 points. As a response to that, I've tried to make these songs as sad as possible.

In other news, I did the "frequent commenters" and "mindmap" memes, and the results weren't very interesting.

Sad Songs Praised So Much

I wanted to do the frequent commenters thing, but didn't feel like downloading some random piece of software to do it. Alas.

(Ladies and Gentlemen, #1 on my list.)

That's why I didn't do it at first, but then enough people ran it and survived that I decided okay. Also, it's only my work machine.

What, I'm #1? Hey, cool.

Oh, as long as it's only the work machine... I still haven't gotten the nerve to install a Livejournal client on my work machine. Maybe I'm a wuss, but they came down on e-mail clients, so I didn't feel like risking it.
