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.

You're #6--which sounds okay until you realize you're being trounced by Anonymous. Let's step up the pace here.

It's cool if you're a fan of The Prisoner, too.

I just beat anonymous on another friend's list, which is pretty impressive when you consider that her journal was going for a couple of years before I got an account.
