Madame L… just go there, read, listen, become uplifted and aware.

Ray Sweatman… support your local poets.

Paul Ford’s 763 six word reviews of SXSW Music, with links to mp3s. This may require elaboration. I was going to say “explanation,” but I’m afraid no explanation is really possible. To elaborate, people who tweet are constrained to messages of 140 characters or less. Ford has changed the boundaries for himself. He constructs each tweet out of precisely six words. Extending his six word construct to encapsulated reviews of hundreds of tracks from SXSW Music was one small step for an editor, but like haiku or the moonwalk, a giant leap for all mankind.

[tags]Ford always associates sputum with jism, which makes the flu very interesting[/tags]
