Finally figured out the new version of WP enough to find the widget to put the link to recent comments in the sidebar. Check out those links by Jim on history of flarf.
I added three words per poem by greg betts to the sidebar but if you didn’t notice, now you have. He’s shuffling donated words and phrases into an aggregate sort of themed poem. Interesting results.
Also, Raise it has a post on The value of the open mic. Speaking of which, mid-summer’s Tree is nearly upon us and there’s an all-open mic night on the 13th.

A bit bummed how a more recent alternate
flarf definition in the wiki article is a catch-all
for anything google-derived. The original flarf
group is listed, though. (G.Sullivan et al)
Before google and ‘flarf’ there were tons of mass
sources and searches, and many techniques
for sampling/collage. And flarf sources predate
google use, especially the official narrative bits
skewered. Could mean all or noting at all now.
