This is kind of awesome:

Asked to respond to the word banausic, I chose to take the most grandiose, wilfully complex thing I knew and express it as mechanically and cold as I could manage.

This guy transcribed every word of Destroyer’s Rubies (by Destroyer, nicer than it sounds; Dan Bejar!) and made a poster out of various analyses of the transcription. Including a frequentistic word list — “la” is the most commonly used word on the album, fancy that. Banausic indeed.
