Once upon a time, I remember when Facebook was cool.
Showing my age? Yes, probably, but 15 years ago, there was a thing called the 30-Day Song Challenge that did the rounds. It asked people to find songs they liked that fit a certain criteria and flooded social media with music, some of it new. Nowadays, new music is usually found via Spotify or on the radio, but I loved the song challenge.
Maybe, as Matt Warr says, I have too much time on my hands, but I fancy doing the 30-Day Song Challenge again. I’ve picked 30 headings and will post one a day on Facebook. I hope a few people might join in; I remember Chris Judson doing it, and you never know, we might even get the Paul Tuplin Nation on board as well.
Also, each day, I’ll add the link to this article just for fun. It keeps my musical taste varied, rather than listening to one band over and over, as I seem to at the minute!
