Oh, I’ve got stuff cooking. Always.
Most of my eccentric #goosery nerd posts come from my database/app, which leverages the EGN data.

That's a pretty big margin of victory for EMG. By comparison, only these have had a higher margin in S16 — and only three were not 1 seeds. #goosebracket #goosery

🧵 My first real interaction with the @goose-band.bsky.social community was when I discovered Goose Twitter (#BGT) during the 2021 @aatgoosepod.bsky.social #goosebracket. Enchanted by its awesomeness, I started posting tourney stats.
I repeated that #goosery for the 22-24 JOTY, and now for 2025.

I've done stuff like this for Goose for years (look up #goosery). It's been fun adapting that tool to the much richer Biscuits data set.
Biscuits' setlist alchemy (with inversions and what not) better lends itself to nerdy analysis. And Biscuits were my first real love anyway.

JOTY contenders by month by year (2020-2024) - RAW
JOTY contenders by month by year (2020-2024) - NORMALIZED
Oh, geez. We're already doing this #JOTY #goosery?
Here's the raw and normalized numbers of contenders by month-played by year.
The second normalized chart divides by number of shows played each month x year — since June has more shows than, say, March.

Appears to be only the third time Drive and Need were paired sequentially.
11/7/2021 had the order reversed.
10/1/2024 had them in this order (and also in set 1, slots 1-2).

Some quick ad hoc #goosery with a couple mins to go before the final match of the @aatgoosepod.bsky.social @goose-band.bsky.social 2024 Jam of the Year #goosebracket.
Looks like it'll be two one seeds in the championship: Cap Drive (4/7) vs. Philly Tumble (6/28).
Here's the history of the finals.

🧵 With the Elite Eight (E8) of the @aatgoosepod.bsky.social
@goose-band.bsky.social 2024 Jam of the Year #goosebracket closing and Four (F4) eve upon us, a #goosery recap.
I'm tied up tomorrow, so boldy assuming current results hold — with Madh winning 55%-45% with about 400 total votes.

🧵 With the Sweet Sixteen (S16) of the @aatgoosepod.bsky.social @goose-band.bsky.social 2024 Jam of the Year #goosebracket over and the Elite Eight (E8) upon us, a #goosery stats recap.
Busy night ahead, so doing this more quickly/haphazardly than usual.
(NB: This assumes Wys handily wins today.)

(NB: This makes the perhaps unwarranted assumption that Drive beats Echo by ~6%; I'll have to redo this if it somehow flips.)

My first real involvement with the @goose-band.bsky.social community was when I discovered “Goose Twitter” in connection with the 2021 #goosebracket — when I inexplicably started posting tourney stats.
I repeated that #goosery for the 2022 and 2023 #goose JOTY. And now I’ll do the same for 2024.

Jivefecta
Y’all act like this is played with Hot Love frequency. There’s been like three Jivefectas. Ever. So way below a 1% hit rate since the final Jive debuted in summer 2018. #goosery

With 2024 in the can, some year-end #goosery. Using @elgoose.net data, I analyzed historical @goose-band.bsky.social song performances:
(1) Song Frequency by year (plays in year x / shows in year x)
(2) Key Slot Frequency (set # opener/closer/etc.)
Google Sheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

More #goosery. Last night's show was the second-longest "natural"* two-set show. The top 3 were all in 2024.
Based on verified times (meaning the sum of verified music tracks — ignoring crowd noise, tuning, shenanigans, etc.).
* excluding 2020 Bingo, since there was no live audience or curfew

@seanlyng.bsky.social asked whether last night's @goose-band.bsky.social show featured the most songs (21) played at Goose. No.
But, if you look at recent history, there's not many shows with more.

New platform and some new questions over the occasional Goose statistical nerdom/screencaps I post with the #goosery hashtag.
Long 🧵 and scoop below.
TL;DR: I wanted a way to search more deeply than
@elgoose.net currently allows, so created an unofficial tool leveraging the EGN data.

Surprisingly, even bereft of its second jam (and subject to some notable ripcords), Needs have not gotten appreciably shorter.

P.S. I should have started with this: Awesome stats. Reminds me of the stats I publish for each JOTY round. #goosery

Only two shows so my stats are pretty vanilla. My only claims to fame is I got Yeti at both shows, and I got the incredible Phil Lesh tribute in Winston-Salem. #Goosery

Here's mine.
