Lightbulb Weekly Songwriting Assignments

My last post gave me an idea to help myself and potentially others boost creativity and songwriting/recording skills.

The idea.

Post weekly writing assignments on this forum. Members post replies with mp3s of songs that complete the assignments.

The rules.
Write, record, and upload a song in a week that fulfills the assignment. By "write" I mean the material must be brand new (no using old unfinished ideas). The "record" part is open in that you can make a simple one track tune or a 32 track epic. The quality of the recording only matters in that you get your point across.

An example of an assignment could be to write and record a Kurt Cobain-esque grunge ballad. Maybe one week we'll do country songs, or something bluesy. The point is to stretch your mind and creative potential.

Anyone interested?

Sounds just like the kind of deadline pressure that gets me off my ass and doing things. It's a great idea, count me in Hopefully more grunge than country, but I welcome a challenge
