So I discovered something really cool today and if I had any talent in that sort of way I'd consider doing it: collage poetry. I don't know if it's a concept larger than Chickollage or what, but it's a really cool little project and for the first time it's poetry I don't want to throw out a window. I'm gonna make a confession though and it is I despise the cafepress products. The whole black square on a purple shirt thing or whatever it is just ... doesn't look right. Something like that would look so much better if it looked like she did the collage to the shirt, get what I mean? But yeah, I think I may be inspired to make a day project out of cutting up some uber old magazines that are lying around, say, everywhere and then gluing myself to things.
Wait, go back a couple steps, why do you dislike poetry if you are about to start up a music-relevant podcast? Words have to appeal to my senses, random voice. In music, I have guitar riffs and passionate voices; in chickollage, I have colors and an appearance I would associate with the subconscious (chaotic and mismatched). In both cases, these do the words justice. In normal poetry, you have a bland poetry reading voice, no tone, on a black and white page, and oddly placed spacing for "effect". It tries to be passionate by lacking passion. It fails and just lacks passion. In my opinion.
What was the other voice saying about a podcast? Oh, that, right. Since December, I've been putting in the works the concept of starting a radio show about the Sacramento music scene, with guests from said scene. Well, it took me awhile but I finally got someone to say they'd come on. So I'm gonna start putting that into motion here super soon! I just have to get a friend to agree to testing some programs and such with me. Knock on wood though, there should be more information later in the month, maybe even a site, ooh ahh!
