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.

I sent that link on to a couple music lovers at work... seems right up their mathematical alley.
