Ginsberg reads ‘Howl’

Jan 3, 2009

Just a quick post tonight, about an excellent recording of Allen Ginsberg reading ‘Howl’, along with some other interesting pieces by Anne Waldman. Well worth checking out.

On a tangentially related note, I recently read Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean’s Signal to Noise which inspired me to track down a copy of the Babble! program which I’m planning to have a play around with soon to generate some cut-up poetry.

    Wow, glad I could help you find Babble! A few years ago, I was racking the internet upside-down trying to find it, since I had heard that Terry Pratchett used it to generate dialog for one of his characters, “Foul Ole Ron”. :D

    Thanks for posting it! Another cool connection between Gaiman and Pratchett!
