Who Puts Out?: The Battle of the Bands

We recently posted several entries on data mining from online sources; here's an amusing use of data on music preferences and attitudes towards casual sex. The basic idea is that you can figure out who will put out on the first date based on what music they like. Spoiler alert: Coldplay fans really aren't viva-ing their vida, which makes them less like to experience a rush of blood to the head. Surprisingly, Lady Gaga's "Little Monsters" seem to have been born in a way that makes them prefer to just dance rather than play the love game. If you're really interested in a whole lotta love (btw, its blasphemy that Led Zeppelin fans were not included), look for the person wearing the Nirvana t-shirt who smells like...you know. Thankfully, Justin Bieber's devotees were not included in this study; that would have been really creepy. But for the sake of completeness (and increasing variability), we really wish Marvin Gaye and Donny & Marie fans were polled. So if you're out looking for love, you should avoid being yellow. How can you not feel bad for Gwyneth Paltrow in all of this?
