Fuckin' Lazy

(Bloggerists's note: All I did today was cut and paste from a thing I wrote to austin-chat to here. So if you read both, I'm sorry. But this is all I have to think about and write for until I force myself to sit down more often. Also: Final Cylon?!)

For some reason, the whole songsmith meme has yet to show up here, so I'll introduce it: (I donno, it might be confined to POE-TV but I think it needs to expand to the masses)

Or what if you are infamous burner/mashup/performance artists Evolution Control Commitee? Why, you'd get all meta and put the songsmith commercial into songsmith! - http://poetv.com/video.php?vid=51650

And a whole fucking slew more of them are here: http://poetv.com/search.php?searchtext=songsmith&x=0&y=0

So anyone, as soon as a for real copy becomes available, I can't wait to play with this. In public. Very loudly. Enjoy!
