Music that makes you dumb.

I love this. A guy named Virgil Griffith did this little study, comparing favorite musicians/bands (compiled from Facebook) with SAT/ACT scores (gathered from CollegeBoard) of those who listen to them, which ultimately is good news for folks who like Beethoven, Sufjan Stevens, Counting Crows, U2 and Radiohead - bad news for fans of Beyonce and Lil Wayne.

While understanding that this is far from pure science, I am more than a little pleased that I have so many faves in the upper tier. Click here to see the straight list. Click on image below to embiggen.
