I recently stumbled upon a brilliant website called Swap-Bot. When I was at school I was really into pen pals etc but that kind of died out as I went to college etc. Well this site is brilliant it hosts ’swaps’ where you can sign up and send thing of to different people a lot of which are done in the form of challenges. The first I signed up to was a ‘Musical Scavenger Hunt’ where you were assigned a number of different categories to match a musical track to (only one per artist). It was great fun to do and here is my play list:
Track One – A song with a form of transportation in the Title
Lee Ryan – Turn the car around
Track Two – A song with a form of punctuation in the Title
David Bowie – Life on Mars?
Track Three – A song which mentions a country other than your own
Red Hot Chilli Peppers – Californication (Mentions China & Sweden!)
Track Four – A song that mentions time in some way
Simon Webbe – After all this Time
Track Five – A Song about wealth or privilege
Madonna – Material Girl
Track Six – A song that contains bad grammar
Friday Hill – Baby Goodbye
Track Seven – Any Artists first Hit
Backstreet Boys – We’ve got it Goin on
Track Eight – A song you like in a genre you don’t
Eminem – Stan (feat Dido)
Track Nine – A song with one of the four elements in its title
Curiosity Killed the Cat – Down to Earth
Track Ten – A song that tells a story
Dire Straits – Romeo & Juliet
Track Eleven – A Song from my favourite movie
Moby – Porcelain
Track Twelve – A dark Song
Massive Attack – Unfinished Sympathy
Track Thirteen – A song about a cause that is special to you
Black Eyed Peas – Where is the Love
Track Fourteen – A song written for one genre that is translated to another
Sweetbox – Everything’s gonna be alright
Track Fifteen – An Irish Drinking Song
The Corrs – Only when I sleep
Track Sixteen – A song that mentions some cosmic entity
REM – Man on the moon
Track Seventeen – A song over five minutes
Robbie Williams – No Regrets
Track Eighteen– A Song that mentions distance in some way
