Playlist Haiku Manifesto
Maybe some people shouldn't be allowed a second cup of coffee so early on a day as nice as this. Here's how it works: a three song playlist whose titles make a proper 5-7-5 haiku. It's a form that provides the traditional poetic benefits of haiku with the added musical juxtaposition of the songs those titles represent.
Here's two to inaugurate the genre:

This needs to be a cross-blog event. Anyone agree? This would give me fodder for days.

Excellent job! By the way, thanks for your comments on my post, An Acquired Taste. I completely forgot about John Zorn. You also inspired me for today's post - Do You Like Moldy Peaches?

Hey all: I'd be plenty happy to participate in some cross-blog haiku-ery. Maybe someone with experience in such events could post an invitation...

I totally cheated of course by using lyrics instead of titles, but I play by my own rules...

I'll just make a haiku post and link back to you, if that's ok. Wanted to check with you first.

Really, I went ahead and just set up a blog.
