Whoa, apparently the majority of modern pop music is written by just two men: Max Martin and Lucasz Gottwald. I had no idea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oVME_l4IwII (about 8 mins in, but the whole video is amazing). I've tried to convey the "intentional stripping of diversity and flavour" in relation to YouTube when writing talks on MediaGoblin, but I'd never done any investigation to back it up like this person has.

I listened to Clipping's Splendor and Misery about 4 times over the last 4 weeks, partly because it's not like so much of the stuff out there. https://plus.google.com/+SarahElkins/posts/MTiEQLjz6mT

I really liked that, thanks @Sarah Elkins. Great off-beat rhythm.
