So I like to play Magic the Gathering.  I thought it would be neat to try and create my own cards based on characters from tv, movies, etc.  Come up with at least 4 cards based on characters or locations from your favorite show, movie, book, or other story.  To actually create the cards, you can use this Card Generator site.  Aditionally, if you are unfamiliar with the terminology used in magic, you can find the glossary here helpful.  Get creative and make Magic art dammit!

First, choose what you want to replicate using song lyrics. It can be a Wire epigraph, a nursery rhyme, a speech, a poem, anything really. Then find songs that have the words that you need in them. Put those songs into Audacity and take out the words that you need from those songs. Order the words, make them the same volume, and space them out/slow them down so you can understand what is being said. And there you have it, an epigraph, nursery rhyme, speech, or poem out of song lyrics!

Many artists sing songs about similar things or that each tell similar stories. Find an artist like this and choose five of their songs that you can make into one story. Using Audacity or another audio edting software, edit five or more songs by one artist into a new story! Use at least 5 songs and make the new song at least 5 minutes long. I recommend not uploading it to SoundCloud as it will likely be taken down due to copyright infringement, but you can still put it up on your blog and Twitter. Have fun with it!
