Songs to Wear Pants To and Mushroom Clouds

I am really excited for today's class. I just finished going through the links posted today and I really liked the Songs to Wear Pants to website. I think my favorite song I found was Never Been in Love, which was about a rapping robot who is afraid to ask a girl out. I also thought Mike Celestino What Have you Done with Star Wars was pretty funny too. I thought it was really interesting how he could take the most obscure and challenging restraints and create something that sounded so good. I never considered for our last assignment making restraints that limited the subject content as an option. I instinctively thought of restraints that limited the structure of how it was written. I think it might be interesting to try a poem that limits the subject instead and see what is produced. I also like Christian Bok's readings, I particularly liked Mushroom Clouds. I think sound poetry would be rather difficult to write (at least for me), but I really enjoy hearing it.
