Song Seed #2

Here's another idea for a song which I do believe I will pursue. I've been mulling over and thinkin on how to make the songs I write interact with the world as it is reflected online. So what I'm going to do is post intriguing snippets of imagery, conversation, ideology, whimsical flurries, and experience to my Twitter account. After a month or two, I'll cull out the bits that intrigue me and make a song thereof.

Also: why not incorporate others' posts as well? Well, the problem with that is that few posts I read on twitter are all that enticing to a songster. Perhaps I can get some twitterfolk to get on board? Tell me if you're into that.

This seed fer a song dovetails with my previous post, because I've realized that one of the best ways to take Ulysses like language and make it relevant 't today is a set of lyrics that are fragmented in ways similar to the compression of all that happens online. The challenge to that will be making the song at least mildly poetic, and not dreary and dry as too much of online life can be. I'll seek to capture the excitement of meaningful interactions that the web makes possible, and not drag the song too deep into the mucky gobbledeegook of html...
