That got your attention, eh?
Basically, BITZ is a game played on a website, where you click on a link and it plays a small extract of a song --- some are intros, some outros, and then there are solos, middle eighths etc. You try to work out what song it is, and basically it's just a bit of fun/chance to test your musical knowledge. Hey, you'd be surprised how few people will get the middle eighth to "In the air tonight" from Phil Collins!
See, parts of songs often sound different or even unidentifiable without the rest of the song. OK, few people would fail to recognise the intro riff to "Don't fear the Reaper" or the ending to "More than a feeling", but would you really know the piano bridge bit on Britney's "I'm not a girl", or the outro to "Out in the fields" by Gary Moore and Phil Lynott?
Not as easy as it may sound!
Anyway, the site's about to go live so I'll post the link hopefully tomorrow or Friday and anyone interested can try it. No fee of course, and no pop-ups or annoying redirections. Anyone who likes can communicate with me (and others, if they want) about the game/site as it goes on.
Most tastes catered for, though I'm not into r&b, hiphop etc, so mostly you'll be talking about rock, pop and perhaps even some disco! You probably need to be over 20 to know most of the music, or have an interest in what I suppose we'd now term "classic" rock or pop (god that makes me feel old!)
Just so I know, is anyone interested? Let me know if so. Just putting the finishing touches on the site at the moment...
