My Intentions
Since I'm not the same person as I was before the eclipse, I might try some new things, but I still want to get "Beatles Bible" working converting song lyrics to a chapter & verse reference (maybe update to py3, maybe buy into a better lyrics API)
If I can get my Glitchy3bitDither project updated in time, I want to try to use that to generate a comic-book-style AESTHETIC look book.
Maybe something with tracery? I need to improve my tracery chops. What I'd really like to do is take a written work, run it through a parts of speech tagger of some sort, and turn those tags into tracery lists so that I can randomize the content of the book without changing the structure.
As it happens, I have a folder full of Beatles song lyrics. Hope it helps, in case you hadn't sourced the data yet.
COMPLETED!
Beatles Bible Beatles lyrics as a biblical text, and now a reading from the book of Help! verses 1:2-5
2 What would you think if I sang out of tune? 3 Would you stand up and walk out on me? 4 Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song 5 And I'll try not to sing out of key
Artbook Dadaist Manifestos, plus a few others, combined with glitch art -- what's not to enjoy? (This is combining markov with POS-randomization ala Tracery)

PS: Thanks to @nossidge for their Beatles lyrics corpus -- it helped out a lot
No problem! They were all scraped from Genius, using this command-line script and a list of song names.
