Flotsam & Jetsam

Definition: human-created waste that has deliberately or accidentally become afloat in a lake, sea, ocean or waterway. Oceanic debris tends to accumulate at the centre of gyres and on coastlines, frequently washing aground, when it is known as beach litter.

Unlike my marketing blog, this is the home turf to the beach litter of my Internet surfing. There's no telling what might wash ashore here.

Thanks for stopping by and mind your step,

Musical Interlude

Lately, I’ve been really enjoying Blip.fm as a place to find new music, reminisce with older songs, play with my friends and meet new people.

Then, last night I discovered a new meme/game on Twitter that’s right up my alley. In Musical Join the Dots (#MJTD) you link words in song titles from one person to the next, like a game of tag. The originating post offers this example:

There must always be some clear connection between each song and the next one. This is usually achieved by linking a word from the title, artist or album name from one to that of the next. For example, ‘We Will Rock You’ by Queen could be followed by David Bowie’s ‘Queen Bitch’.

I was tagged by @DaveFleet with The Final Countdown by Europe. I decided to continue the game in Twitter and augment it with Blip.fm. In turn, I tagged @RandyMatheson with Countdown to Chaos by Bette Dillinger.

In a retro mood, I’ve since, started 3 new games tapping

@TWalk with Tattoed Love Boys by The Pretenders,

@HeatherShorter with Cities in Dust by Siouxsie and Banshees

and @Merlene with Come Undone by Duran Duran.

I’d like to see this integrated with Blip.fm to make the game more, well, musical. To me, it’s more fun to hear the songs and follow the connection that way.

Give it a try!
