I did this kind of quickly, but the red line represents the % of very good songs on each Pavement/Malkmus record while the blue line represents the average length per song. As you can see, the overall trend is that the % of very good songs seems to decrease as the average length per song increases. I'm just saying..... In his defense quite a few of my friends really like the new record.

When I have a kid someday I'm going to "borrow" this graph so he/she can use it as a science project.
I think your blog should just be charts like this showing what shows are coming up and the level of fun people will have at them
more charts! only have had a chance to listen to the opener so far. will listen and report back.
i agree: more charts.
Besides being extremely informative and easy to comprehend, charts will be the thing that sets your blog apart from all the other music blogs (except for www.MusicChartsBlog.com, they pretty much have that market cornered)
Sorry Duke, but I gotta point out some deficiencies in your chart. The biggest problem is that you don't make clear what the red line and blue line refer to. It says Series 1 and Series 2 in the legend, but that doesn't quite tell us what that is. Second you may want to consider a mixed graph, where you use a line function to represent the length of the song and a bar to represent the likability. But I get your overall message: as song length goes north of 4:00 mins, you really begin to hate his stuff. I'd probably agree.
yeah, i noticed that labeling problem too, but i'd already posted it so i just wrote the description. i did the graph in about 5 minutes at midnight last night. i'll consider the line/bar hybrid next time.
