every 3 hours, a new lyric from the works of the band Dry CleaningPermalink Look on archive.org

i love their lyrics, and i think they capture a lot of what i love about twitterbot writing - jolted strange fragments, forming something beautiful in their new context. an attention to the writing we live within but barely notice.Permalink Look on archive.org

i just got done going through both eps and the album, and it was really rewarding to spend close time with the writing (even if just to fix up quote marks, decide on what linebreaks to include, and add JSON markup)Permalink Look on archive.org

and it's nice to make a lyricsbot - i see so many being made on CBDQ these days, and it feels like the real inheritor of my teenage years typing in lyrics for my MSN Messenger statusPermalink Look on archive.org

anyway, a fun way to spend a few hours, and i'm looking forward to seeing old lyrics in new contexts, living with them over the days to come. and, if you have no idea who this band is: you're in for a treat. please go this way: drycleaning.bandcamp.com/Permalink Look on archive.org

bumping @drycleaningbot now it's got a nice backlog of tweets (also just tuned it down to twice a day - there's only so many lyrics to tweet til they write some more songs)Permalink Look on archive.org
