Contest: AudioSplice v.1
What's an AudioSplice?
The Basics:
I've taken little snippets of a handful of songs and smashed them together into a sort of sonic puzzle for you to figure out. There is also a theme that links the songs somehow for you to work out, to help you along and make it a little more fun.
So what do you need to do? Listen carefully! Try to identify as many songs as you can, look for that link between them, and leave your guesses in comments. If no one is getting close after a couple of days, I may come back and leave a hint below…
Winners of book prizes will be the commenters who a) get the link and the most songs, and b) enter the most amusing guess at the link (even if they are wrong). And by amusing, I mean it amuses me. 😉

LIKE!
Green Day: Holiday Boulevard of Broken Dreams, The White Stripes: Seven Army Nation?, P!nk: So What, The Black Keys: Lonely Boy, Red Hot Chili Peppers: Californication?
I’m guessing the link is about breaking free/ finding yourself?
1. “Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams” by Green Day
2. “Seven Army Nation” by The White Stripes
3. “So What” by P!nk
4. “Lonely Boy” by The Black Keys
5. “Californication” by Red Hot Chili Peppers
Link: I am guessing it’s about some sort of fight and/or challenge that must be faced alone with issues like society and more. Another thought I had was with the music, the guitar riffs! XD
Not sure what the songs are, but i think the link betwin each, is the guitar and the meaning behind each song. Maybe after youve done something, you play a song that reflects how you relly don’t care about what you did, or tht you regret what you did.
Omg! Green Day!!!!!! Yay Holiday by Green Day! That is the only one I can name, I have heard of the rest, just cant name the song or artist…oh well.
I know, it’s one of my favourite songs, too! So much energy.
I think they are:
– Holiday
– Seven Army Nations
– So What
– Lonely Boy
– Californication
I think the link is to not go to california alone, and if you do, be brave, there are many mosqitoes there
Lol 🙂
First of all the first song is beyond awesome, agreed? Agreed.
With that being said:
1)Green Day- Holiday Boulevard of Broken Dreams
2)The White Stripes- Seven Army Nation
3)P!nk- So What?
4)The Black Keys- Lonely Boy
5)Red Hot Chili Peppers- Californication
The link is Surf’s up dude! o.o Basically to enjoy every aspect of a typical summer day whether it’s surfing, having a cool campfire at night to a long drive and whatnot?
All five of the songs represent what Summer is like when you’re a teenager.Â
The first song that plays is Holiday, by Green Day. This represents the excitement we feel in the first week or two of Summer break. “School’s out! Holiday!”. We’re all excited and feel like Summer will last forever. But our excitement changes to annoyance and frustration in the face of “Summer Drama” – the “he said, she said” that surfaces in the Summer months when people have more time on their hands, and want to cause problems. This is represented by the second song choice: The White Stripes’ Seven Nation Army: a song about the pressures of fame and being gossiped about. But Summer’s not all bad, as we see with the third song choice: So What, by Pink. Here, the message is to forget about Summer drama, kick back, and have fun. Because it is Summer Break after all! But some Summer days can be long, and boring, and that’s the reason for song choice 4: Lonely Boy by The Black Keys. The fifth song is Californication by the Red Hot Chili Peppers (rock on!). As teenagers, we face a lot of pressure to have the “perfect Summer”. A lot of this pressure comes from Hollywood and the media – and this is exactly what this last song is about.Â
Though it did not appear obvious at first, the link between the five songs is that they represent the highs and lows of being a teenager during the Summer time.
1. Green Day-Holiday/Boulevard of Broken Dreams
2. The White Stripes-Seven Army Nation
3. Pink-So What
4. The black keys-Lonely Boy” by The Black Keys
5. the red hot chilli peppers-Californication
The theme is about rebelling against Societys standards and rules.
Was the winner for this round announced?
