The New Wave Virtual Dancefloor
Posted: Fri Jul 15, 2005 7:46 amPretty basic rules. Think of it is an online dj booth.
I start with a song. Then next person must post another song that is similar because of:
* relatively the same bpm (beats per minute) or tempo
* same subject manner
* sounds kinda similar
* same sub-genre (ska, new romantic, synth pop)
* or that you think it makes a great transition
After that person posts, the next poster must RATE the PREVIOUS post's mix with a smilie [:D][:)][:0][:(!][V] [?] and pick another song to mix into. And the game continues until we hit page THREE (or people get bored and the thread dies) THEN it's last call and you get 3 last songs (so make em good). Then we'll start again if there's a demand. [|)]
Rules:
* You can only post the same artist ONCE on a page.
* you CANNOT repeat a song that's been previously posted. If you do you get a [xx(][xx(][xx(] response and Morrissey will come out to hang the Dj.
* Also don't go wildly in one direction. Try to play up to 3 similar songs in a row and switch it up. Don't select 10 straight up goth or ska songs in a row as that gets repetitive.
* You can't reply immediately to your own post. You can reply only to other poster's songs and not your own.
* Make the songs flow! Abrupt changes aren't dancefloor friendly.
* If you go for really obscure or dancefloor unfriendly prepare for negative reactions. [?][V][xx(][:(!]
* And HAVE FUN!!!
Any questions just ask and I'll amend the rules. Hopefully this will be fun and ongoing.
Lets start with.......
Missing Persons - Destination Unknown
