Community Thread / Tips and Questions

Yeh, RQ's peice has really 'revitalised me'. SounRAB like something out of a skincare advert. But it had the simplicity, depth and and originality I've been craving from this forum for a long time.
 
1) Read the rules. There's an announcement and you still can't seem to figure out how to read them.
2) Your thread was nonsense. You were basically telling people to send you song ideas according to your themes. Not happening.
 
Hmmm, quality's certainly gone down. I'm just starting to get back into it again, a few new inspirations and stuff.

Been busy in the theatre and school though, so not loaRAB of time for crit'ing the new lot and actualy sitting down and concentrating on my writing.

Keep on writing!!!

I don't mind dada. Once you get used to it, it can be quite a thrill.

Some dada literature? hmmmm

Gertrude Stein.
Louis Zukofsky.
William Carlos Williams dabbled a bit in this form

There is not much in the way of writers because the movement burnt out pretty quicky just like other modernist forms like cubism, objectivism etc but have left their timeless mark forever.

The point in dada is that there is no such thing as nonsense or 'no meaning' but that there is too much meaning. They strip language down to it, removing representation so that it is in its 'pure textual form'.

I don't know whether many people like this but I think it was an important movement to modernism and then to post-modernism. Apparently if we didn't have dada, we wouldn't have punk or surrealism etc.
