Monday Music Club: Our Favourite Michael Jackson Songs

Well we had a different Monday Music Club all set to go, but MJ dominated our hearts and our Twitter feeds. Michael has been on constantly at The Go Game office since last Thursday so there were a lot of tough choices here. Without further ado, our favourite MJ songs. Get some rest Michael!

Monday Music Club: Our Favourite Beatles Songs

We were in Liverpool a few days ago for the bTWEEN 09 conference and have been on a Beatles kick ever since. Attempting to narrow down my top 5 Beatles songs was the toughest Monday Music Club challenge for me thus far. Mei disagrees and wants you all to know that:

This list formed itself pretty easily with three all-time favorites coming to me instantly and two favorites-of-the-moment that have been on serious iPod rotation for the past few weeks.

Good luck making it through all of the commentary. Yikes.

Monday Music Club: Songs That Make You Wanna Do That Weird Move You Always Do

Everyone's got those songs that they connect to a certain dance move. It's like a logic puzzle: every time you hear Song X, you have to do Move Y. Maybe it's a little finger waggle to a certain line or maybe it's an all-out-get-up-offa-that-thing-and-shake-your-body dance to the chorus (see Chris's choices #1 and #2). Maybe you do the move because the song explicitly tells you to, maybe it's in the music video, or maybe it's just a quirky thing your friends made up that has now infected your brain(see Mei's choices, #4 , #3, and #2). Whatever it is, we know you have one. Check out our songs and the accompanying descriptions. If you want to see them in person, follow us around with a boom-box. The dance moves will come...

The Go Game at b.TWEEN 09

The Go Game is up in Liverpool simultaneously satisfying our Beatles obsession and producing a game for the b.TWEEN 09 Conference. We worked with the lovely and talented Katz Kiely (conference director extraordinaire) to write a new game centered around FACT in Liverpool. The conference is a meeting of the best and brightest minds of the creative, media and tech worlds.

We've got lots of thoughts on some of the sessions we attended, but let's see how creative these creative types really were during our Go Game. We asked the teams to take a photo of something they had never done before...

Monday Music Club: Favorite Cover Songs

In previous Monday Music Clubs we've explored our deepest psyches and revealed songs that exposed our obsessions, our happiness and high school. We're going to give our team of analysts a break this week and just go with a basic theme: cover songs we like. There are lots of cover songs out there (77,000+ according to some databases) so we listened to ALL of them* and narrowed them down to our ten faves. Enjoy!

Go Game For Good and Unhappily Ever After...

Woohoo! We ran our first Go Game for Good in Soho on Saturday and it went off with a serious bang. Go Game for Good is a game that we run for the public every so often where the profits go to support a certain charity. A little over a week ago, we were contacted by Dan, Amy, Ali, and Andy, a group of people helping to raise money for two organisations that support young people called Raleigh and the Prince’s Trust. To help support their goal of raising £10,000, which you can read about here, we decided to run our first Go Game for Good with them over the weekend. Nothing like having a good time for a good cause!
