Stock Songs Say So Much

You may or may not want to hear this innovative little piece, depending on how your investments did last year, but CNNMoney has set the ups and downs of last year's stock market to music. The Dow Piano treats the big board's performance over 2010 as a musical score - better days mean higher pitches, while the notes are lower on down days I wouldn't expect Pitchfork to extol its hipster credentials, but it's still a pleasant enough tune - especially toward the end of the year, when the markets were a little more cheerful themselves.

As always, we hope you'll sing out about an awesome link in the comments.
