When music meets Microsoft ….

Some time back I heard of a group of people on the internet who were spending their time creating graphs of songs titles and lyrics and posting them online – in fact there was a whole song chart pool on Flickr that was collecting them all. As a closet geek with a passion for music, the idea appealed to me hugely and I found myself laughing out loud at a couple. Some stood out for me particularly – here are two:

(If you don’t get them, then feel free to choose another exciting post on this blog to read; the rest won’t make that much sense to you!)

Anyway, at the time I thought it would be fun to create a couple and I promised myself that when I had time I would give it a stab. That was a year ago and I finally got round to doing it. So here are a couple of my own (in the interests of bandwidth I won’t include them all here — the rest you can see on www.tonylankester.com):

And a slight variation on this last one, for local flavour:

  1. I didn’t know about that Flickr thing but I have done a graphic on the National Youth Development Agency Bill that merges Umsobomvu and the National Youth Commission. http://phakathi.blogspot.com

    I wrote to you before about the sound quality of Tony Lankester’s podcast. Just listening to episode 110 – some people were loud, some were very soft – it’s as bad as ever it was.
    Do you have a sound engineer?
    If you do, fire him/her.
    If you don’t, you seriously need one.
