What I Tweeted, 2010-01-03 Edition

January 3, 2010 by krisis

My best and most-interesting tweets of the last week.

Quotes of the week:

I'd like to see one Best Albums of 09 list topped with an actual solid, listenable, loveable album, and not just alterna-flavors of the year #

While getting my music out into the world takes a fair amount of practice and effort, I can keep my blog going by sheer force of will. #

Awesome tool for volunteer PR RT @JDEbberly RT @sylviahubbard1: Publicity Planner for 2010. Authors yr gonna love this! http://bit.ly/79PJnF #

@SarahPsyDeal When it comes to Pizza Hut, I lose all semblance of self-preservation instincts. Only the pizza matters. in reply to SarahPsyDeal #

Dear Universe: Please lend me about $750 so I can buy all of the amazing 2009 albums I so blithely missed upon date of release. Best – Peter #

My wife, the (dessert) pyro. http://twitpic.com/vtcw0 #

If I was on a label the job of the design intern in the doghouse would be to lasso out my hair. Since I'm indie, that's my job. #

South Philly Fowl http://twitpic.com/w30ws #

@NotGiamatti Clue is the best movie ever made. I almost themed my wedding after it, but we couldn't decide which parent would be Mr. Boddy. in reply to NotGiamatti #

Reminder: Candy Canes are not medicinal in nature. i.e., No, Peter, it is not the same as taking an antacid. #

Happy New Year! I shaved my mustache for our New Year's Kiss because THAT IS HOW GREAT A HUSBAND I AM. #

@SarahPsyDeal Every year I would swear I'll get ripped for the music fest & play a set with my shirt off. Please achieve that dream for me. in reply to SarahPsyDeal #

Possibly the best part of recording video while I record audio is capturing all of the awesome moments where I scream obscenities at myself. #

If I ever forget why it is that I want to be playing music I can usually re-kindle it in the span of three live tracks from Ani DiFranco. #

You should follow me on Twitter so you can read my tweet action as it happens.

    Monday

  • And good morning to everyone! I think this week will be pretty awesome, as I close out my 2009 goals and close in on my 2010 goals. You? #
  • My #MusicMonday is a video of my band (is that cheating?) playing one of my newest favorites, @arcati81's "Holy Grail" bit.ly/AC0912-HG #
  • #MusicMonday I have a tie for my #1 song of 2009 – unexpectedly from the Indigo Girls, in this catchy return to… ♫ http://blip.fm/~ieidq #
  • Today's Arcati Crisis video is @arcati81's acoustic pop/punk tune "Holy Grail," which I play a FUN lead line on: http://bit.ly/AC0912-HG #
  • Drew Carey will donate at least $317,328 to @livestrong on 1/1, because that's how many followers he has. Follow @DrewFromTV to donate more! #
  • I feel unplugged after my relatively Twitterless holiday. I love post-xmas week, because I get lots of stuff done. Hoping the trend holds. #
  • I'd like to see one Best Albums of 09 list topped with an actual solid, listenable, loveable album, and not just alterna-flavors of the year #
  • @dorkabella A lot of my objection comes down to: if you are vocally annoying, you are not on my list. That's, like, half of most lists. Gone in reply to dorkabella #
  • Hmm – if a CD is on presale now for March but when I buy I'm able to download the entire thing, would you say it's released in 2009 or 2010? #
  • Loving racism-watchblog http://racialicious.com #
  • My buddy @melissa_shae wrote a fantastically inspiring 101-things / 1001 days list: http://bit.ly/4FdDwQ -simple, personal, doable #
  • While getting my music out into the world takes a fair amount of practice and effort, I can keep my blog going by sheer force of will. #
  • If I go to a two-blog a day format, which merits the AM slot – the more 1.0 post of thoughts/links, or the more 2.0 post of media? Opinions? #
  • @time_analysis But, yes, I think I may next try text early, media later – media is more of a lunch-break or late-date indulgence. in reply to time_analysis #
  • .

    Tuesday

  • An awesome, up-early morning mitigated somewhat by the crazy winds, currently drowning out conversation in the office (seriously). #
  • Today's Arcati Crisis video is my "Under My Skin" – arguably the first-ever Arcati Crisis song. http://bit.ly/AC0912-UMS #
  • Having a mellow day; a touch of daydreaming about making our inaugural creme brulees tonight. #
  • @KateFromage E has TWO SETS but we've never done it. Breaking them in tonight! in reply to KateFromage #
  • Awesome tool for volunteer PR RT @JDEbberly RT @sylviahubbard1: Publicity Planner for 2010. Authors yr gonna love this! http://bit.ly/79PJnF #
  • @amanda_nan Speaking of missed connections, you are the only person on Earth who actually calls my cell phone. Sorry I am always MIA. in reply to amanda_nan #
  • I dig Reinhold Messner, but this song really merits a proper rock opera to follow it. ♫ http://blip.fm/~ig5hw #
  • I adore the queer funk of "Fistful of Love" more than any of Antony's formidable, more-languid compositions. ♫ http://blip.fm/~ig651 #
  • People that have known me forever have been hearing this song forever, because it's about to be ten years old! http://bit.ly/AC0912-UMS #
  • Covers too frequently ignore the intensity of Moondance. The original is not exactly "mellow." ♫ http://blip.fm/~igbtu #
  • @Billy_Sea Observations from men of taste always appreciated, regardless of age :) Indeed, that is mine, & an oldie. in reply to Billy_Sea #
  • @Billy_Sea As a duo we like to sprinkle in some covers, since we always wind up with a unique take on them. Solo I don't do very many. in reply to Billy_Sea #
  • Phoodie's "Best Delivery of '09" (or ever, apparently) is a short trot from my house. Dinner tomorrow? OH YES. http://bit.ly/7YxYzM #
  • @SarahPsyDeal When it comes to Pizza Hut, I lose all semblance of self-preservation instincts. Only the pizza matters. in reply to SarahPsyDeal #
  • My favorite artist of the day is undoubtably Heartless Bastards. I love the swampy rock, I love her throaty howl. http://bit.ly/4S4cDi #
  • Which is not to say I just discovered them; to the contrary, I've been listening for years. They're just entirely the story of my life today #
  • @therealdesh They're a vector band, not a triangle; LPs progress. All This Time a little more ethereal at points; Stairs & Elevators direct. in reply to therealdesh #
  • Dear Universe: Please lend me about $750 so I can buy all of the amazing 2009 albums I so blithely missed upon date of release. Best – Peter #
  • My wife, the (dessert) pyro. http://twitpic.com/vtcw0 #
  • .

    Wednesday

  • Today's video is an acoustic cover of "Total Eclipse of the Heart." Yes, seriously. http://bit.ly/AC0912-TEH #
  • @arcati81 RT @amymengel @krisis Have you seen this TEOTH chart? http://post.ly/BxcD #
  • @missrogue Thank you! Playing it started as a joke of me belting it out whenever I flubbed on a recording. Then we actually learned it. in reply to missrogue #
  • @TransitionalTee HA. I might actually enjoy that one even more, because it's a one-look lyrics sheet :) in reply to TransitionalTee #
  • @TransitionalTee Certainly works for just about any Alanis Morissette song. in reply to TransitionalTee #
  • @TransitionalTee Remembering words is one of my larger weak spots as a singer-songwriter. That, and always speeding up. in reply to TransitionalTee #
  • It is now less than 55 degrees in this room. Charming for a spring day, not so much for indoor computing. Migrating deeper into the house. #
  • WHOA: Some big music news to announce to Philly peeps in a few minutes. Clue: I hope you're free next Friday night. (!!!) #
  • I'll be opening @ Tin Angel next Friday, 1/8, for my friend & master hang drummer @dantebucci. 10:30p, $8. Ticket link coming. ! #
  • @gloriabell Thank you, Gloria! I'm so excited to be presenting my solo material there! I've performed there twice w/band, but never alone. in reply to gloriabell #
  • Recap: I play solo at Tin Angel for the 1st time next Friday. Until then, watch me play Total Eclipse of the Heart: http://bit.ly/AC0912-TEH #
  • @KateGalla Oo, that's very handy, thank you. in reply to KateGalla #
  • @time_analysis Thank you! I'm excited to be playing my solo material at one of my favorite venues. Any chance to lure you out to see me? in reply to time_analysis #
  • @MVMNT_Mike Thank you, sir! I would love to see you smiling from the audience, if you can be tempted out at 10p on a Friday :) in reply to MVMNT_Mike #
  • @time_analysis I am also an earplug carrier, as my hearing has already been significantly battered by numerous rock shows. in reply to time_analysis #
  • Playing a solo show at one of my favorite venues may mean it's finally time to purchase a beard-trimming electric razor. #
  • Not too impressed with The Antlers record (Hospice); super-intrigued by Thao w/the Get Down Stay Down. Will find some Best of 2009 LPs yet. #
  • If I was on a label the job of the design intern in the doghouse would be to lasso out my hair. Since I'm indie, that's my job. #
  • @Sacks007 Wasn't planning on it, although I do very much enjoy Dan! in reply to Sacks007 #
  • I think next week's gig may finally force my hand re: compiling an album of 08/09 recordings – which means a CD for you to download, soon! #
  • .

    Thursday

  • Snow! I did a double-take out of the bathroom window, like, "Did I just go back in time a week and a half?" But, no, this is new snow. #
  • My video today is a super version of "Better," one of my favorite songs to sing: http://bit.ly/AC0912-BTR – Be our fan @ http://bit.ly/ac-fb #
  • The Israelification of Airports – can US airport security work smarter, not harder? http://bit.ly/8YG4p5 (via @therealdesh) #
  • South Philly Fowl http://twitpic.com/w30ws #
  • @NotGiamatti Clue is the best movie ever made. I almost themed my wedding after it, but we couldn't decide which parent would be Mr. Boddy. in reply to NotGiamatti #
  • @pattypunker I COMPLETELY agree with #4. I will root against them, even if they go to the super bowl. in reply to pattypunker #
  • Fun Fact! In Clue, Madeline Kahn ad-libbed the short monologue about her hatred for Yvette the maid ("Flames, on the side of my face…") #
  • @Glark That was awesome. in reply to Glark #
  • @KateFromage My favorite movie EVER. I cannot express how many times I have seen it. Hundreds, surely. #onthesideofmyface #heavingbreaths in reply to KateFromage #
  • Reminder: Candy Canes are not medicinal in nature. i.e., No, Peter, it is not the same as taking an antacid. #
  • Watching "Silent Hill" w/E. Damn, in a decade Marita Covarrubias (Laurie Holden) went from striking to STUNNING. Good for her. #
  • @jack Yay for a good year, and for Meg & Mayfly project. Not So Soft was the direct inspiration for me to start a blog. in reply to jack #
  • .

    New Year’s Day & the weekend

  • Happy New Year! I shaved my mustache for our New Year's Kiss because THAT IS HOW GREAT A HUSBAND I AM. #
  • I know the score to Clue so well I think I could probably record a multi-track acappella version of it without even giving myself pitches. #
  • Since my big 2010 goal of having a show at the Tin Angel is happening on Friday (!!!) I'm trying to kill some other 2010 goals this weekend. #
  • What is up with you on Day 2 of 2010? I am so out of the twitter loop right now. Let me know how you are and what you're working on! #
  • @gloriabell In college I had a policy where I would not leave the apartment if it was less than 20degrees outside ;) in reply to gloriabell #
  • @wfenza That is terrifying. Are you dabbling in crystal meth in the new year? in reply to wfenza #
  • @SarahPsyDeal Every year I would swear I'll get ripped for the music fest & play a set with my shirt off. Please achieve that dream for me. in reply to SarahPsyDeal #
  • @SarahPsyDeal Is the fitness goal just exercise/tone, or also lifestyle/diet as well? in reply to SarahPsyDeal #
  • @wfenza That heartless task-master! That's just like when she makes me keep rehearsing even after I start crying and begging for mercy. in reply to wfenza #
  • @LenKendall Completely agreed. Hot pizza <<<<<<<<<< cold pizza in reply to LenKendall #
  • Who else parades around a house singing the funereal bit of La Vie Boheme from Rent to mark throwing away 1st khaki pants from high school? #
  • A Fine Frenzy's "A Bomb in a Birdcage" is everything I've always wanted from Regina Spektor but never received. #
  • Office clean. New music website almost launchable. Time to do some singing. #
  • Has anyone ever heard of a band called "The Minor Canon"? The clips from their LP are AMAZING – indie-pop w/horns. I may need to buy it. #
  • Hmm, but it sounds like they used up all of their awesome on the first few tracks. Why must CD-buying require so much research. Just be good #
  • @thatdrew @mpomy I reeled in 1200+ MP3s in the last month, but when I really like an album I want to have a physical copy w/liner notes. in reply to thatdrew #
  • When I love an album I must have it on CD. No crap 256 mp3s if I'm going to play it into the ground. #
  • @thatdrew @mpomy For example, I still don't have the CD of OK Go's last album (just MP3s), and I am constantly pilfering my shelf seeking it #
  • @jayvert All of my core artists are at 320 – esp stuff with pianos or string sections. I would totally buy FLAC of new releases if I could. in reply to jayvert #
  • @jayvert But, even in an age of everything having an 1/8" jack sometimes i just want a CD in my pocket to bring into the car or whatever in reply to jayvert #
  • Dear Airborne Toxic Event: You're an okay band, but your name is so, so, so unfitting, & not aided at all by your album artwork. #BANDFAIL #
  • Good lord, Antique Soul by Smoove & Turrell is AMAZING. I now feel the rhapsody that people seemed to get from Gnarles Barkley. #
  • @JettSuperior You know I'm all for manipulating the listener, but at the point you're signing to a major you need to consider these things. in reply to JettSuperior #
  • If I ever forget why it is that I want to be playing music I can usually re-kindle it in the span of three live tracks from Ani DiFranco. #
  • Wow, this is an insane half hour set for me. I'm not used to having a group of songs so heavy on the downstrokes. I feel like Green Day. #
  • Sometimes I want to cover a song just to adopt it so that more people will hear it. Tonight, Skyline – pretty & jagged: http://bit.ly/6UqmLo #
  • I have come to the verdict that Radiohead left just about every good song off of In Rainbows in favor of hiding them on disc two. Punters. #
  • @Chris_Huff Dude, I am starting to get a noticeable gun on my right arm that is completely unsymmetrical to my left. in reply to Chris_Huff #
  • I didn't think I had enough songs to track a demo disc to hand out at the show, yet here I am with *28* songs on the potential playlist. #
  • NO!!! Tragic; some of the best pastry in the city. RT @phillyinsider RIP, Pink Rose Pastry at 4th and Bainbridge. Closed for good today. #
  • @femelmed An institution, and *good* food – more than you can say for many South Street fooderies. in reply to femelmed #
  • Exhaustive AICN preview of remakes & sequels headed our way in 2010. http://bit.ly/92dGkz #
  • I never really noticed this before, but Fiona Apple hardly ever (never?) uses homophonic harmony on her vocals. #
  • @platypusjones Homophony is when two parts move together in harmony – the harmonist accompanies the lead's rhythm, but on different notes. in reply to platypusjones #
  • If you haven't read at all about the movie "Kick Ass" this v. NSFW trailer will initiate you: RT @robcorddry Oh my God: http://bit.ly/6eRqoU #
  • Now to set up tons of video and audio recording equipment in order to capture me doing my thing… #
  • The Tin Angel website is presently linking to moi to advertise their Friday show. I'd love to go back in time to show this to me of 2000. #
  • After hours of setup, the hotseat for my a/v adventures: http://twitpic.com/wkaj6 #
  • I need to start setting up my recording rig the night prior so I can start fresh in the morning. 9pm and I'm only 3/5 of the way done. #
  • Possibly the best part of recording video while I record audio is capturing all of the awesome moments where I scream obscenities at myself. #
  • @radiocolin And here I thought it was because people have given up on learning how to sing now that auto-tune has been democratized ;) in reply to radiocolin #
  • @stevo1bc That's my ultimate goal, but my studio doubles as my office at the moment. Still, most of it was signal chain stuff, now done. in reply to stevo1bc #
  • @Jenniferalyse I think my favorite part is to watch all of the skeptics (myself included!) come out singing its high praises. in reply to Jenniferalyse #
  • @anniemal Like, how she seems to be always on the verge of psychotic outburst, even when that's not the point of her character? #typecasting in reply to anniemal #
