World Map Made up of Nothing but Song Titles

Remember this beautiful graphical flowchart of alternative?  Dorothy, the UK artists who create prints inspired by music amongst others, are back with another map worthy of a look.

This time, its a world map labeled using only song titles.  Over 1200, to be exact.

Some of them were obvious no-brainers:  New York, New York from Sinatra, for one.  But others were a little more creative.  Using Joy Division’s “Isolation” to stand in for North Korea?  Brilliant.

Most of your favorite alternative artists are represented somewhere on the map:  Lorde, Green Day, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kings Of Leon, OK Go, The xx, Panic! At The Disco, Muse, Red Hot Chili Peppers, R.E.M., Blur, 30 Seconds To Mars, Smashing Pumpkins, The White Stripes, My Chemical Romance. Radiohead, Arctic Monkeys…and I’m sure you’ll discover more.

Zoom in and get a better look here.  And if you want to add it to your wall, who would blame you?  — [eric]
