Alienation Index for April
May. 3rd, 2009 09:26 am![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
koganbotCompiled the Jukebox averages for the songs I like (designated YES) versus the Jukebox averages for the songs I dislike (NO) to see how different I am from everybody. I've still kept a MAYBE designation for songs I'm not sure of, though the fact I haven't ditched them yet makes it a good bet that they'll hold on.
My affinity is once again slightly ahead of my disaffinity, though the gap is narrowing and someday alienation and isolation will triumph, hurrah! This time a couple of last-minute consensus likes (Nina Sky) and dislikes (Merriweather) I agreed with helped collegiality to keep disaffection at bay, even if just barely.
The number after each song is its average Jukebox score. See last month's entry for further explanation and rationalization of my categories.
