Statistical Odds and Ends
I love to watch my blog statistics. It's kind of an obsession. One of my favorites to watch is which countries readers come from.
The U.S. is always first, far and away the largest number of hits come from there. Usually, Canada is next, with the rest of the top five rounded out by either France, the U.K., Sweden, Germany or Japan.
Well this month it's different. The U.S. is still first, but Poland is second. It's beating Canada by a fairly significant amount. I can't figure out why. Not that I don't think the indie scene is alive and well in Poland, it's just that it's not that big of a country, you know?
If you have an idea as to why this might be, feel free to leave it in the comments. I'd really love to know.

Can't offer any insight on the Polish invasion, but can certainly relate to
the stat obsession!
Poland? I dont' think I've ever gotten a hit from Poland! Thailand is the
weirdest hit I've ever gotten...
don't underestimate the musical taste there...even when the wall was up ppl
like nick cave and tom waits had a huge follwing....i only know poles with
a distinct taste and a love for sad bastard music. being a (west) german i
travelled a lot to poland since the early nineties. and don't frget it was
the polish solidarnosc movement that started to crack the iron curtain in
the long run.
cindy--you wouldn't believe the places i get hits from--bahrain, kazakstan,
nepal. i think it's so cool how the internet connects us all.
Poland is a fairly big country though, (apparently bigger population than
canada anyway) Didn't Andy Warhol come from a Polish family?
well what do you know about that? i learn something new every day! :)
hello sweden.....good old andy warhol(a) (the name his parents adopted
after coming to the US...originally it was spelled Varchola) has no polish
heritage. his family came from what is today slovakia. when his dad
emigrated in 1914 it belonged to the austrian-hungarian empire. cheers,
boris
I'm another stat anorak - and one of the countries I get loads of hits from
is Japan (but that's no real surprise given my own obsession with 80s
indie-pop from Scotland.)
