Power Pop Crossword
Puzzle:
Well it's mostly power pop. Not entirely power pop. And there are no finnish
acts, so you can try it even if you are not finnish. Anyway. I know this
was stupid thing to do, but I've always liked crosswords and yesterday
while struggling with Mojo's puzzle, I thought that I try if I can make
one myself. It was damn difficult at first, but somehow I was able to
pull it together during two nights and it was finished before 24 hours
had gone from the moment I got this ridicilous idea. It's obviously not
a very good puzzle, but i'm still quite happy that I was able to finish
it. I suppose my mind got tired while trying to fit the words to the puzzle
and after that I didn't have enough energy to write questions that make
sense. Nevertheless, here is the first and probably last onechord crossword
puzzle. The answers are basicly bands, people, albums or songs,. The article
THE is missing from all the band names. It was too much of a struggle
even without those. And I haven't confirmed all the answers. I trusted
my own knowledge and that might be totally wrong decision. So don't shoot
me if there is something wrong. And No. I don't have the skills to do
it so that you could fill it with a computer. So basicly you would need
a printer for this. Well why am I writing this. It's highly unlikely that
someone tries to fill it. It was quite fun to do it anyway, so I don't
really mind. I will give the correct answers after a couple of weeks.
