Before January officially comes to a close, we better head to Google Analytics and check out the buzz for the tail end of 2008. There’s a much more democratic picture this quarter, as the most popular search has less than 2% of traffic..

1) Freak Night XII: Paul Van Dyk / Moby / The Crystal Method / Morgan Page (1.88% of searches)
2) Weezer
3) Queensryche
4) New Kids On The Block
5) Kings of Leon
6) Indigo Girls
7) Cut Copy
8) 107.7 The End’s The Great Pumpkin: Hawthorn Heights
9) Sigur Ros
10) Panic At The Disco
11) AC/DC
12) Katy Perry
13) Britney Spears

A few random thoughts:

**Paul Van Dyk is not rock ‘n roll? Oh well. This list really is all over the place.

**I got tired of listing Radiohead; it would actually come in at #3 here, even though the concert is now a distant memory.

**Music fans are fascinated by failure. You can’t get enough of poor ticket sales from the likes of NKOTB, Panic At The Disco, and Augustana. And everyone is waiting to see what will happen with Britney Spears at the Tacoma Dome..
