http://www.furia.com/all-idols/2007/ - Glenn McDonald's awesome bit of STATISTRY about the Pazz and Jop and Idolator polls is IN.

Yes yes the combined lists are interesting in their way but the real fun for thee critix among us is in discovering who our critical soulmates are via the magic of statistical correlation.

And OMG POPTIMIST HIVEMIND no less than 4 of mine are on this list (and another is Scott Woods who I kind of think of as a poptimist-by-proxy).

This is usually more interesting than the poll results themselves! I'm a lot more, er, de-centric(?) than I was last year. Who is Scott Woods? Name rings a bell.

also: omg Glenn has a CHILD now!

He runs rockcritics.com, and used to run Radio On, which was the 'inspiration' (i.e. I ripped it off wholesale) for the Focus Group (though Frank or Chuck or someone actually started that)

No, it was Phil Dellio and Scott Woods who started Radio On, though Phil really was the publisher, instigator. Back in 1991.

Scott occasionally posts on my livejournal (doesn't have an account, so he posts anonymously, then signs his name).
