with credit (and/or apologies) to "Jonh Ingham":http://mog.com/Jonh_Ingham/blog_post/128571#comments and "indiepixie":http://mog.com/indiepixie, here goes... being a first post, i'll rely on a crutch. math is a lot of things, but above all it's a language - and often it's the only one where i can be remotely succinct. i was curious about how MOG posts break down, by topic. this is by no means scientific - the numbers i got on MOG came from counting the pages of posts that turn up by selecting each genre and All Time. (this gives a count of 6105 total pages of posts vs All genres All Time 8219. anyway, i think i'm in the ballpark.) 
having done that, i was curious about my own breakdown (from 4060 songs), so here it is (with some changes to fit everything into MOG's list of genres - i.e. my World music consists of exclusively of Irish and Norteno, and Other=Friends of Dean Martinez).
what's the point. maybe i'm the only one that finds this sort of thing interesting, in which case, at least listen to the song, if you haven't heard it - it deserves a post of its own.what i take away is that Cody B wasn't kidding when he suggested the need for a "country 101":http://mog.com/Cody_B/blog_post/31368 that, and i'm surprised by the dominance of rock. is this just a result of "rock" being an easy, catch-all category, or do moggers really just like to rock out? in either case - what do you cue up when you want to rock?
