What I Tweeted, 2009-11-08 Edition

My tweets of the last week:

@joshrrusso I use D'addario EXPs exclusively. I play HARD & they def last longer. Elixers are a little too bright for me. @transitionaltee in reply to joshrrusso #
Well, it took seven hours of mixing and listening, but this song isn't sounding like crap anymore :) #
@Justin_Freid I've also been doing some SM integration at work! I'm happy that you have the same opportunity. We should do pizza sometime :) in reply to Justin_Freid #
@johhnny5 Wait, when were you at the party? I would have totally remembered seeing you. Plus, I think you'd recognize our costumes in reply to johhnny5 #
@PensieveRobin http://bit.ly/19KRcB in reply to PensieveRobin #
@SarahPsyDeal Oh, don't worry – when I start being fairweather I hate on a team for at least a year before forgiving them. See also: Eagles in reply to SarahPsyDeal #
@DavidSpinks Well, but very busy trying to sustain my musical side! DIY is never simple. What about you? I've been out of your loop entirely in reply to DavidSpinks #
Yes, I think this song is done! WOOT! Due for a recording since this spring. #
Now for the 10-yr-anniversary song. Ohhh boyski. #
Recording the piano for the first time ever, getting ready for tomorrow's song. http://twitpic.com/nz7ge #
Figuring out how to do drum loops in Cubase would make this situation much less ridiculous. #
Well, it took ten years, but I kinda know how to play this song on piano now. :) #
Holy shit there is a studio recording of me playing piano. I AM FREAKING OUT. Seriously, a decade I've been working on this demo. Ten years. #
@BZalasky I'm kicking myself for not doing the piano as midi so I can fix a few bad rhythms, but one step at a time. in reply to BZalasky #
My first ever piano demo hits the blog in a few hours. Until then it's just for me and earphones ;) #
You people are so sweet, and will probably continue to be so until you actually hear me play piano :) #
Although, I must say that after my brief solo I got in a terrific ad-lib "huh" / "hut" (depending on if you are a fan of Tori or Lady GaGa) #
This is…no more embarrassing than anything else I tweet about, really…but is there a Philly dude who can teach me how to manage facial hair? #
Okay, maybe that was SLIGHTLY more embarrassing… #
@NealWiser You mean like ShareThis? Like, plugins that make websites social? in reply to NealWiser #
@drew You are living strong and kicking cancer's ass! This marks the day we blamed cancer out of existence xoxoxoxoxoxo #
Today is @drew's last chemo appointment! RIGHT NOW! All the #blamedrewscancer folks (and everyone else), please send him a tweet of support! #
@NealWiser @SethGoldstein @jimtyrrell @johhnny5 @bzalasky @suz925 You get an advance copy of the new demo! Crashing: http://bit.ly/1exMr0 #
@amanda_nan Give Drew a surprise hug from me at some point (see how I stealthily did not use an @ in front of his name?) in reply to amanda_nan #
@NealWiser @SethGoldstein @jimtyrrell @johhnny5 @bzalasky @suz925 Um, I had no idea it was going to post on my blog five minutes later! #
@NealWiser @SethGoldstein @jimtyrrell @johhnny5 @bzalasky @suz925 So I feel like less of an ass, here is tomorrow's demo http://bit.ly/yssHn #
@joshrrusso The EXPs tend to last me 5-8wks before one breaks, and I play a lot of alt tunings.The 10yr song is indeed all mine. in reply to joshrrusso #
RT @wfenza The power of negative thinking http://is.gd/4L84N // Think positive, create more. Think negative, remember more. Interesting. #
@theoreticalgirl Are they about fun mass media stuff? I can grade them for you :) in reply to theoreticalgirl #
@heidiperry1 I love ShareThis, but I know some developers who might have questions. I'll definitely pass them on to you! in reply to heidiperry1 #
@spillsmusic Can't wait to listen when I get home! I'm going to be doing a ton of new demos this month as well! in reply to spillsmusic #
@eatplaylove no problem! They turned on lists at exactly the right time. Let me know if you know nablo-ers I missed ;) in reply to eatplaylove #
@spillsmusic should I listen with feedback ears instead of enjoyment ears? Mine are usually (years) past feedback phase by the time I demo. in reply to spillsmusic #
@RobIsEvil Does it do multiple lengths? Like, can I cultivate consistent scruff with it? in reply to RobIsEvil #
In case you missed it: @not_pele & I dressed as Head Six & Gaius Baltar from Battlestar Galactica for Halloween http://bit.ly/2nYdgt #
@joshrrusso It is literally the tenth birthday of the song today. But, it's not about my wife – we're headed for our 8yr (of dating) in Feb. in reply to joshrrusso #
@glenncase I just started my daily demos, although I don't think I would call it official until I string together a streak of at least 10:14 in reply to glenncase #
@ournameisfun A weird question, but: Nate, do you subtly vocode/autotune your initial attack on a note? If not, your control is AWESOME. #
@ournameisfun (Not just from a singing-in-tune perspective; you have a certain way you hit the top of every phrase that I can't duplicate.) #
@ournameisfun Thanks! I've grown be a huge fan, & found a cache of other format/fun fans in Philly. Can't wait for your return! Best. in reply to ournameisfun #
Almost every time I @ one of my indie rock role models they reply. Twitter is pretty awesome, huh? #
Stuff I will do: situps, listen to new @spillsmusic, record >1 cover, write >1 blog posts, rebalance vox on next demo. See my wife? Sleep? #
@HomeRecLibrary need some advice on placement/reverb of vocals to sound more pro. Can I send you a track when you have a chance? in reply to HomeRecLibrary #
@amanda_nan are you two dating? It's okay, you can tell me. in reply to amanda_nan #
@phillydesign that's from the office of one of my bffs ;) – got a personal appeal to take it last week. in reply to phillydesign #
@amanda_nan Don't worry, I will only talk about it in @ messages so that no one will notice us. Your big gay secret is safe with me. in reply to amanda_nan #
@homereclibrary live recording, vox on condenser with a sm58 buried to round it a little. http://bit.ly/yssHn #
@YoungBillyMays DIY life FTW! in reply to YoungBillyMays #
PS: I am tweeting on 1.5hrs sleep and while walking about 5mph, so it might get a little inane. #
Philly peeps: have you found any good election guides that go beyond the big 3 on the ballot? I am woefully underprepared to pull a lever. #
@mikeyil @phillydesign after Alias I refuse any jj abrams tv property until it is out in a complete dvd set that does not have a lame ending in reply to mikeyil #
@homereclibrary too present/close compared to commercial unplugged & that's not going to change in a mastering pass. Otherwise happy w/mix #
@cathybpa it was almost awesome, and then they crammed a ton of crap into two nonsensical episodes. Sopranos at least was intentional. in reply to cathybpa #
@therealdesh dude, I rely on YOU for this stuff! That tweet was practically addressed to you. I will inquire w/Ariel. in reply to therealdesh #
I need to find some extra time in my evenings. First attempt: opening mail while doing sit-ups. Success: moderate. #
Doing diaphragmatic exercises pre-vocal warmus to strengthen my wobbly middle. Blowing up non-existent balloons, holding notes for 60secs. #
@emmapersky @missrogue Jealous! Have so much fun. in reply to emmapersky #
@emmapersky SERIOUSLY? I will seriously change plans. Any idea what you're doing? in reply to emmapersky #
@chrisdallman After it stopped being terrifying that was hilarious. in reply to chrisdallman #
Grrr, Twitter not letting my unfavorite tweets. Making compiling this post a little tricky. Argh. #
@valkrye131 No, but some of them were bigger packages! I was like, seriously, I can't even open this sitting still. Not a good combo. in reply to valkrye131 #
Did you hear my new demo song? http://bit.ly/1Frxxv I think my favorite part is the cute little exhale before the 2nd chorus. Little things. #
@amanda_nan I've been writing at the piano for a few years, so it always seems weird that my demos are all guitar. Hopefully more piano soon in reply to amanda_nan #
@joelkelly Thank you! I'm fascinated by hearing myself play piano – mostly in tempo! Back to guitar for the next few. in reply to joelkelly #
I really may need to go back and replace the blown notes on "can't" at the end of the third verse. I just didn't have them in me last night. #
@JoBacon LOL, that came out of nowhere. Are you having a #yktr listening party? in reply to JoBacon #
Why wouldn't we have used Lee yesterday and again in game six? Because yesterday he was still short rest? 3-1 is a steep price for that day. #
@mmmeghan @sifelaver Given the stats on 3-1 series, it just seems worth it. I guess we'll see if Manuel was right this week. #
Glad to know I was not alone in my Lee speculation. You are witnessing the apex of me caring about baseball – I know his name AND position. #
@kessler That is hilarious. Has he mentioned Chickie & Pete's yet? in reply to kessler #
Songs are not liking me tonight, folks; tried a handful, but I don't have the magic. Would be nice to, I don't know, be good ALL THE TIME. #
@Minervity Just noticed that awesome ticker bar on the top of your site – I love it! in reply to Minervity #
@ryankuder Oo, I am a major Pete's fan, but that might be unforgivable. in reply to ryankuder #
SEPTA strikes at 3am? I swear, they cultivate the most negative possible reputation. Now have to decide – walk or bike? (thanks @phillyist!) #
@valkrye131 that's true, but a dead of night strike is pretty nasty for shift workers and school kids. And clearly was premeditated in reply to valkrye131 #
@wockerjabby since it's been a while I am walking out my bike route today for biking tomorrow in reply to wockerjabby #
eddidit
RT @eddidit RT @taxgirl For those who didn't see, @SEPTA TURNED DOWN 11% salary + pension increase no health care contribution. #
Good lord, SEPTA is a trending topic on Twitter right now! Is our city that hardcore with the tweeting, or are they localizing trends now? #
True? RT @eddidit RT @taxgirl For those who didn't see, @SEPTA TURNED DOWN 11% salary + pension increase no health care contribution. #
RT @attila SEPTA strike or zombie apocalypse? RT @iPhillyChitChat: The streets are over run with people. #
I hope SEPTA is enjoying their worldwide Twitter notoriety for their strike. Nothing like some global bad PR to aid your contract talks. #
It's not like SEPTA is an expansive, clean, well-oiled system like Paris's. I can understand why they strike so much. I'd strike FOR them #
Seriously, how many years have I been polite to every SEPTA driver I've met to be growled at in return? No support from me today-stay struck #
@All_is_one I don't know, striking at 3am with little warning is almost as nasty as a mid-day strike. Screwed if you don't wake up early. in reply to All_is_one #
@Nicole_Brewer Thoughts: Union is terrible at making demands seem warranted to the public; brings bad will to the agency, even post-strike. in reply to Nicole_Brewer #
I think I am going on a septa strike shopping trip after work for running shoes and some ass-enhancing jogging shorts. #
Always reminding myself. RT @sethsimonds: @DannyBrown buying the world's best paintbrush doesn't make you a great painter. #
@SarahRobinson oh, please tell me how it is as an album! E doesn't like the single despite her YYYs lifetime subscription, so I didn't buy. in reply to SarahRobinson #
@glenncase But, pictures of your insides! I had one several year ago. The worst part is the awful stuff you have to drink beforehand. in reply to glenncase #
My rationale for instrument brand snobbery RT @DannyBrown @sethsimonds @HennArtOnline @krisis But it gives you the best canvas to start from in reply to DannyBrown #
@DannyBrown dunno, it's probably snobbery when I say I wouldn't waste my time recording with Brand X guitar or microphone. Crappy canvases. in reply to DannyBrown #
@SarahRobinson just in the context of the film. Thought it was great, but wasn't sure how many distinct, listenable songs were in there in reply to SarahRobinson #
@SarahRobinson Until lists come to my phone client I am a slave to the aggregated twitter tides of my followers ;) in reply to SarahRobinson #
@SarahRobinson I will fav and listen at home ;) in reply to SarahRobinson #
I've encountered this! RT @danavan: Marketers grapple with whether to refer to 2010 as "twenty ten" or "two thousand ten." http://ow.ly/yVRC in reply to danavan #
@Remysbaby fairly, that's 11% in 4yrs, and I believe the hc expense is pegged at 1% salary. Still, that's crazy to DEMAND rather than earn in reply to Remysbaby #
Retail. Therapy. #
Philadelphia Runner is a best-in-class retail experience. They were awesome, found me the perfect shoe in 30 minutes. HIGHLY recommended. #
Seriously, I had no idea shoes could be that comfortable and well fitting. Shock. #
@lwcavallucci they evaluated my funny walk and knew just what brand I would need. Magical. in reply to lwcavallucci #
@lwcavallucci I'm flat and bend in. Nike and nb too arched. Down to saucony or brooks(?). Heading back after work for a final test. in reply to lwcavallucci #
@lwcavallucci I am completely fascinated by the barefoot ones! It seems terrifying, but maybe that's just because my feet are so flat. in reply to lwcavallucci #
@eedawson @brimil Related to the strike; my shoe collection is not exactly packed with things that can withstand 6mi travel each day. in reply to eedawson #
@eedawson @brimil unfortunately, running shoes are apparently all terrifying ugly, except Puma, which don't fit me. in reply to eedawson #
Back in my Kenneth Coles my feet are already saying, "Get these things off of me! Where is all that support from a few minutes ago?" #
@eedawson Torn between shockingly perfect Brooks and slightly-less-perfect Saucony, which I am extremely brand-loyal to (and are way cuter) in reply to eedawson #
@valkrye131 I expect nothing less of you than to remember my promise of booty shorts ;) in reply to valkrye131 #
@AdInfinitum Oo, scary implications there. in reply to AdInfinitum #
@AdInfinitum Indeed, similar to my "EPs vs. Albums" bent – I like rewards on a smaller scale. in reply to AdInfinitum #
@brimil @sifeliver's hair was AWESOME today. It was all bristly. I liked it. in reply to brimil #
@brimil @sifelaver's hair was AWESOME today. It was all bristly. I liked it. #
Woot! Just booked an upcoming Arcati Crisis charity gig at a CCity bar for later this month! More details to come. #
Using the redesigned @CNN homepage is unpleasant. Less about reading news, more about receiving pre-packaged content. Lost a longtime reader #
@jacmmkay It used to be much easier to simply scan for headlines. I don't really consider it a news site anymore. in reply to jacmmkay #
Okay, since I'm home by myself I guess I should do some sangin' #
@iPhillyChitChat My Flipcam is fritzy so this week I am focusing on audio-only but I think synced video is coming soon. Blog has 2 new demos in reply to iPhillyChitChat #
http://twitcam.com/50qt – A Ruggedly Handsome Rehearsal. #
Watch me warm up a bit for tonight's demo recording. (Tell me how the volume is!) (@krisis live on http://twitcam.com/50qt) #
@melissa_shae But it's impossible to say marvelous and then get back to "can't read my." It either needs a rest or a skipped word. in reply to melissa_shae #
@realityblurred OUCH. in reply to realityblurred #
@KateFromage Yeah, this tiny pinhole mic can't take the belty stuff. Funny I'm doing this with the big recording rig sitting across the room in reply to KateFromage #
Only I could get so distracted by good lighting on my own web video that I completely lose my train of thought, stop, and compliment myself. #
@KateFromage Thank you! You can hear today's properly produced song here, if you are so inclined: http://bit.ly/ioboQ in reply to KateFromage #
Please god do not let the ceo get on the elevator with me wearing tights. #
@mandy_payne @radiocolin um . . . underarmor, I guess? I don't know, they didn't leave much to the imagination, though I did have shorts on. in reply to mandy_payne #
@taxgirl yikes. I typically wouldn't put a car anywhere near the stadiums area during an event, let alone mid-strike. in reply to taxgirl #
Though I only jogged the initial leg of my commute, I shaved FIVE minutes off of yesterday morning's already brisk walking time. #
Agreed! RT @attila Me too! RT @viciouskris Days like today make me feel like I'm walking through an LL Bean catalog. This weather rules. in reply to attila #
For some reason today I am seriously considering booking an ad hoc vacation to Iceland. Any joiners? #
You would be getting a new Madonna cover right now if I hadn't deleted my perfect mix at 11pm; had to manually relink the audio before remix #
@Not_Pele Could be easily convinced. Let's just tell your dad we want to do family X-mas there this year. in reply to Not_Pele #
@eedawson is a moonologist like a mooninite? in reply to eedawson #
@eedawson @amanda_nan I am only about five episodes into last seasons – does the steep decline from season two level off? in reply to eedawson #
@amanda_nan @eedawson sounds like I need to skip a few and pick it back up. in reply to amanda_nan #
I know this is a personal issue, but nothing kills a good song quicker than incongruous woodwind/brass parts. It's called arranging, people. #
Jogging must have went pretty well, because I am in a moderate amount of pain. #
@amanda_nan for reference, I feel like where I work is way more like 30Rock than the Office, even though we actually work in paper ;) in reply to amanda_nan #
#unsaid I swear, I am repeatedly looking at your ass because your jeans are awesome. #
@rachaellayne @glenncase I LOVE that song. It's on my covers list for this month as well. in reply to rachaellayne #
@sifelaver Why would you wish that fate on anyone, let alone yourself? RT our work needs to be more like the office! in reply to sifelaver #
Avg SEPTA roundtrip commute: 68minutes. Today's run/jog roundtrip commute: 67:31. @SEPTA can eat me. #
Also, who knew Hoochie Woman wound confer an instant third wind on me? Never could have predicted. #
@anniemal They can all have a nibble, if they can catch me: that's probably the most I've jogged of any day in my life. The strike rocks. in reply to anniemal #
Of course, I say that collapsed directly on the other side of my front door, but TWU does need to know that. #
Madonna song mixing finally mastered! I'm going to be tweeting the hell of of this tune – really happy with my performance on the live take. #
Worth following; good people and big thinkers. RT @mickeygomez I created a list for #12for12k #
@kristinbrennan Somewhere out there is your real family, who I'm sure don't like any Fox commentators. in reply to kristinbrennan #
@mickeygomez Not sure what the qualifications are, but I have been a #12for12k participant this summer. #
Baseball w/BFF and our typical Eagles game gang. We're like, um, why are we all seeing each other on a weeknight? This is awkward. #
Werth's face after he dumps the dirt out of his pants: ADORABLE. #
@mickeygomez Yes, I followed a slew of people and lost track of who they were when they changed their avatars. in reply to mickeygomez #
Hear my new Madonna cover before it hits the blog: Crazy For You, live and acoustic – http://bit.ly/gOCrT #
The whole room: gee, it would be nice if he would hit A-Rod. #
@mickeygomez Well, I'm happy you are making the list, because (a) I lost everyone and (b) ran out of lists :) in reply to mickeygomez #
@mickeygomez 20 at the moment. in reply to mickeygomez #
@FOX29philly I've been really loving the colorful, personal commentary :) in reply to FOX29philly #
I'm just hearing my cover of "Crazy For You" on normal speakers, & it sounds AWESOME. The remix was worth it. http://bit.ly/gOCrT #
My ability to sing CFY better than I could in 2002 is all in vowels; so many possible ugly diphthongs in it. Voice lessons FTW, again. #
@KateFromage Voice teachers with reasonable (not too low) rates are always awesome, in my experience – care the most about the voice. in reply to KateFromage #
@KateFromage Seriously, it's the best money I ever spent on anything. It pays me back every single day of my life. in reply to KateFromage #
@drew Elise just told me you like Flyleaf? Is this accurate? We should totally go when they tour. #
@KateFromage I'm so proud, my teacher just got a PhD in composition! I'm seeing her thesis show this weekend (her original degree? Biology) in reply to KateFromage #
@ChrissMari You are seriously in my hood. Let me know the next time you're doing music down here. in reply to ChrissMari #
@KateFromage I don't think so – I think it's instrumental, and she has a soloist from a philharmonic? Would love to hear her perform, though in reply to KateFromage #
@KateFromage She was cool because she loves rock music; totally into working through originals or rock covers if I was up on my voice work. in reply to KateFromage #
@KateFromage But my diaphragm is so wobbly right now, she would murder me. I need to do less work on singing, more on breathing and control. in reply to KateFromage #
@KateFromage I could seriously go back just for a degree in theory – I love music as math. It's the only way I got okay at it. One day… in reply to KateFromage #
@drew Hot. I don't know anyone else in real touching space who likes them. in reply to drew #
Good vocal technique is the little black dress of the singer. Goes with every style. @KateFromage #
@KateFromage I tend to get hung up on range stuff to the detriment of my core, because my historical problem was range. in reply to KateFromage #
@drew Do you also like Paramore, then? in reply to drew #
@KateFromage A mental game I was losing for many years, involving lots of tenor jealously & constantly blowing my voice out and being hoarse in reply to KateFromage #
@KateFromage Meanwhile, where can I hear YOU singing? in reply to KateFromage #
@KateFromage I'm a Bari, although I guess I could sing Tenor 2. I don't have robust enough mixed/falsetto to sing G-Bb in group settings. in reply to KateFromage #
I find that online folks think my voice is higher than it is. I can't sing w/ most rock radio tenors. Guess it's a tone thing? @KateFromage #
@KateFromage Always fun to be the ringer :) in reply to KateFromage #
@KateFromage I also have been an honorary lesbian for a Gay Pride gig! I was billed as "The Lesbian Boy." Possibly my first billed gig? in reply to KateFromage #
@KateFromage That sounds awesome. in reply to KateFromage #
More than a little sore after yesterdays jogging exploits – todays' non-SEPTA commute may be more of an amble. #
You should hear my new acoustic cover of Madonna's Crazy For You – stream or download it at my blog: http://bit.ly/1fzfYY #
@mlarson 27 is totally awesome, as long as it doesn't kill you. in reply to mlarson #
@DJMarilyn I am so sore from all my septa-less locomotion yesterday. Need to add stretching to my routine. in reply to DJMarilyn #

Have you heard my new acoustic cover of Madonna's Crazy For You? Download or stream it at my blog: http://bit.ly/1fzfYY #
@iconjohn You know, I've never actually seen the film. Somehow escaped my childhood Madonna fanaticism. Onto the queue it goes! in reply to iconjohn #
@paullucci Thank you so much! The prior two posts have demos of a pair of original tunes. Hopefully lots more Madonna to come this month! in reply to paullucci #

At this point I think more people in the building know me as the guy who sings Motown in the elevator than for my actual job. #
@suz925 ha, it's true, it's a rare song that l've never contemplated arranging or performing. in reply to suz925 #
@radiocolin I just wrote you an essay. #
@Lotay To me it means the media is a medium for social interactivity & any aspect of the media is meant to be manipulated or commented-upon. in reply to Lotay #
I'm supposed to be shampooing my facial hair, yes? #
@mikeschmid Hmm, thought my 1.0 T-Mobile supported GSM. Either I'm confused, or I'm surprised the 2.0 doesn't. in reply to mikeschmid #
@Lotay Yes! Sometimes you have to consolidate to one connection, or else the various pinging will take over your life. in reply to Lotay #
So, now I pay for eating all of that dairy an screaming a lot, because it's time to do some recording. #
Sometimes I am so far away from being able to sing well that I seriously have to exercise my tongue/throat for 15 minutes before warmups. #
I am presently spying on my neighbor to catch him dumping garbage over my fence. Because living here is that awesome. #fml #
After 6 months of my begging @filmstarband is having their 2nd ever acoustic rehearsal in my living room. Hmm, upright bass in basement… #
I need to buy a bass. Carrying the upright up two flights of stairs just to tune it for half an hour is not really conducive to rehearsal. #
If I'm a guitar snob, it's only because the brands I discriminate against sound like cheap children's toys. Otherwise, totally not snobby. #
@eedawson @amanda_nan The mixing on new Imogen album is RIDICULOUS. If you haven't already, put it on the biggest speakers you own and enjoy #
Would people tease me if I played this … and, would I care? http://bit.ly/4q4IAO #
@onedr In mid-range acoustics Seagulls are hard to top for pure tone. I play Breedlove. Also, Alvarez. in reply to onedr #
@wfenza May come over. #
Best special effect ever designed for television – Battlestar Galactica, Season 3, Exodus. Impresses me every damn time. #
Philly Gaga fans: Just listed my Row 5 Lady Gaga tickets on StubHub, but I could make you a better deal person-to-person. Holler back. #
@onedr Lady Gaga's album reminds me so much of Madonna's first album. No wonder I like it. That's my holy trinity for mid-range guitars. in reply to onedr #
I don't yet watch #madmen (probably start this season break), but it is AWESOME that they have someone interviewing at Ogilvy. Ad geeks FTW. #
Oh, that's great – while I balanced my budget my bass when out of stock. Wonderful. Only took five years to choose. #firstworldproblems #
