SW-C has been back in touch re his i-pod Friday which takes place today. I hope none of his work colleagues read this as it will only spoil the surprise(s)
Ipod Fridays
So in the end I made a decision…I wanted to portray a message in the music that I selected. So with a selection of cover versions and some other tracks I spelt that message out.
I’m also turning my Ipod Friday into a quiz featuring a solitary question, I’m offering the prize of a Mars Bar for whoever gets closest. Here is the question: –
How many cover versions are there in my forty songs?
So here is the set list – and go on then – folks how many cover versions are there in this list (JC you are banned from entering as you know the answer), the closest guess gets a special prize which will be revealed later, I appreciate its hard without hearing all the tracks though. Oh and if anyone wants to take a guess at the message I was telling people, then please feel free to comment.

Finding the hidden message is all too easy, FOR A START..
Superb!
It may be easy to find the hidden message but is anyone arguing with it? Not me…..
21
hope the office enjoys that lot
especially just like heaven
Twenty-six.
May I get sent a Bounty instead of a Mars Bar, please, SW-C?
Aah, and a fine compilation it is, to be sure!
Both wrong. No one got it in the office either.
So no bounty sexyloser.
have a second go Dirk……
Well, it’s a hard task indeed, because as far as I can tell some common riffs are being used, partly excessively, which justifies it to be a cover in my book. Then again, what do I know? So: 24?
Ouch SW-C, but good on ya! Love the sarcasm in Vaccines’ Winner Takes It All…
I really hope it is 28 because that is a ‘perfect’ number. If it isn’t, I’ll stick with 28 because sometimes a cover is still original.
I’d say 33 covers. 28 I recognise as covers, 2 I know as originals, so I’m just going 50:50 on the ones I’ve never heard of
haha – I lolled
