Simple statistical content analysis of Pitchfork music reviews, which the author then uses as guidelines to make songs.

A nice write-up explaining the methods used, the theory behind it and the results, including a couple of mp3s of the songs. quite funny.

I'd like it to go farther.. I'd like to see similar analysis applied to different forums, different songs generated per the results of each critical forum, etc. But in general for statistical nerds and music nerds folk might find it interesting. And the author promised to archive mp3s of people's songs written to these formulas, which could also be pretty fun
