What I Tweeted, 2010-01-31 Edition

January 31, 2010 by krisis

My tweets of the last week:

  • Vintage 70s windbreaker & more of my newly-improved curls: http://twitpic.com/zq0wg #
  • @paullucci Blah outside, but makes for a serene view from my office as the clouds roll past ;) – hang in there, yourself; ) in reply to paullucci #
  • I have been listening to "Barlights" by Fun for, like, an hour. ♫ http://blip.fm/~jquo6 #
  • @dorkabella With Jack's Mannequin, who's better live than on album. Supposedly Fun is touring AGAIN with Paramore later spring (!!!) in reply to dorkabella #
  • @dorkabella I don't mind, because they don't drink and aren't much bigger than me. I'm seriously over beer-swilling, obnoxious crowds. in reply to dorkabella #
  • @dorkabella For how much they gross of off smaller venues, yes, you could probably put together a more profitable house concert ;) in reply to dorkabella #
  • @dorkabella You should pitch it to Nate, they respond on twitter all the time ;) in reply to dorkabella #
  • I am particularly glassy-eyed. #
  • @LunaTechie I just have my windbreaker on, it's beatiful. in reply to LunaTechie #
  • Off to dine and open mic at Downey's, if you're in the hood. #
  • @ryandaniel I can't even picture that happening to you. Are you sure you didn't just nod off and have a bad daydream? in reply to ryandaniel #
  • Only 2 songs tonight, & people were digging Regenerate, so I broke out a debut of Fixable! A little wobbly, but I definitely like playing it #
  • @melissa_shae RT @SMCPhilly A few spots opened for "Put Some Social in Social Media" at Tritone – Get them quick! http://bit.ly/7whPmX #
  • Our new humidifier drops louder than I can dream. Feeling a little zombified, as a result. #
  • I am offended that Vampire Weekend does not care about the Oxford Comma. That is one of the pillars of my personal belief system. #
  • For my favorite winos out there, @wootoff is selling a 12-bottle wine fridge for $70. Sale will only last an hour, tops. http://woot.com #
  • @mayanorthen I love your crowd-sourced reminder, so here it is: print your ticket, so I can meet you tonight. :) in reply to mayanorthen #
  • @gloriabell I can't wait to see you tonight! Definite a day that could use some Gloria (although, aren't they all?) in reply to gloriabell #
  • Right now open up a DM, FB message, or email, and tell someone who won't expect it how much you appreciate them. (Not me!) Ready? GO. #
  • Kris Allen was doing fine before they saddled him w/ co-writers. I love "I Was Played," from a prior indie disc ♫ http://blip.fm/~jszm2 #
  • @dorkabella I did it just on a whim and just the writing of it improved my mood 100%, and the beautiful response I got doubled it again :) in reply to dorkabella #
  • @dorkabella I can view this where? in reply to dorkabella #
  • @brimil I haaaaaaaate him. He cannot act, at all, whatsoever. I do not care how pretty he (supposedly) is. in reply to brimil #
  • @eedawson You rock! You have to let me know next time you do something like that; if I am free I'd totally come with. in reply to eedawson #
  • @dorkabella "Fierycupcake Interactive Comic Book"? Sounded cool. in reply to dorkabella #
  • My fav picks are no-frills plain gray Dunlops. I like that they're textured. .73 for strummy stuff, .88 for riffs. @markyguitar #guitarists #
  • Love this proposed electoral map revision that promotes Philly to state-hood, via @philebrity http://bit.ly/dhwQ67 #
  • Philly-born Colts football star embroiled in North Philly shooting, murder, as told by GQ http://bit.ly/9eWdL8 (via @philebrity) #
  • @SmashleyDubs @brimil Because he talks like he has marbles in his mouth and things emoting is synonymous with wincing. in reply to SmashleyDubs #
  • @phillydesign Way to get namedropped on Philebrity ;) PS: Any chance you are coming to the @smcphilly meet-up tonight? in reply to phillydesign #
  • I just received this piece of feedback on a concept in an official work email from @brimil: "Too general. Could be about cage fighting." #
  • @phillydesign Super-cool! Would love to see you sometime soon. Perhaps we can engineer something in Feb? in reply to phillydesign #
  • @phillydesign @mikeyil Could def do Friday lunch, if I'm not intruding. in reply to phillydesign #
  • @Not_Pele I dunno, it was actually a pretty apt comment. in reply to Not_Pele #
  • Must-read on artist digital profits & major labels RT @RedAphidMedia @rifflet Best publicity $62.47 can buy http://bit.ly/7kXyl0 #
  • @jgraz261 Thanks for the RT! I hope you followed through and made someone's day! in reply to jgraz261 #
  • @TraceyJWhitney Thanks for the RT about @freelancewhales! Have you had the chance to catch them in concert? in reply to TraceyJWhitney #
  • On one hand, going to miss some networking early at @smcphilly. On the other hand, this presentation is starting to rock. #
  • I may have some wicked-awesome Blue Cross Broad Street Run news in the coming weeks, including something for local musicians ;) #
  • @ryandaniel to discuss: marketingcamp on 5/1. Attend/present @mktgcampphl. Traditional & online marketing. More news to come. #
  • Sticking around Tritone to open mic with Absolute Zeros & Boy Wonder, then might wander down the street to Lickety Split. #
  • Tritone was crazy super nice to me, rocked out a vicious Shake It Off (w/Shake Your Body interlude) & Regenerate. #
  • @TraceyJWhitney Live it was not as immediately poppy as the album. Had a more Arcade Fire vibe at points. in reply to TraceyJWhitney #
  • @redmoonriver I have some new ones queued up, but for a two-song slot can't resist. Meanwhile, want to meet me & Gina on Thurs @ q? in reply to redmoonriver #
  • When did the great video games and airbrush place on South – Got Game – close? Super-sad.all the anchor bizes are eroding. #
  • @purpletronic awesome; can't wait to talk more! The first song on the LP is a super ani-influence ;) #
  • Followed Boy Wonder down to Lickety Split, and he did a medley of one of his songs into Don't Stop 'till You Get Enough. Touche on the MJ! #
  • @djmarilyn haha, our evenings could intersect again, I'm only a block away :) in reply to djmarilyn #
  • @thatdrew now if it would just localize who I'm getting in my feed, too, that would be hott. Note the two Ts. in reply to thatdrew #
  • Good lord, I'm really doing 2 open mics tonight after one last night, & maybe again on Thursday? What sort of alien is growing in my chest? #
  • @bigalittlea if you need a tea to keep your voice strong, @not_pele has a killer recipe she makes for us when we're playing a lot of shows. in reply to bigalittlea #
  • @blankbaby preach it. in reply to blankbaby #
  • So interesting to watch an artist go from a song that doesn't fit them to one that does; watch them click. Wish I could see it in the mirror #
  • @Chris_Huff The only thing I can see when I watch myself on video is how much I flip my hair ;) in reply to Chris_Huff #
  • @Chris_Huff sounds like a bar that might like my Madonna & Lady Gaga covers. HEY-OHHHH in reply to Chris_Huff #
  • @Chris_Huff That is a market I am willing to corner. I have to market in that direction ;) in reply to Chris_Huff #
  • @brimil I believe you would probably find this gentleman singer extremely attractive. Hope quizzo is fun ;) #
  • I got my first nasty/trolly comment about my vocals on YouTube today. Me of a few years ago would be crushed, but present me is inspired. #
  • @radiocolin I was going to take credit, but that was a lame troll. in reply to radiocolin #
  • @radiocolin I will make sure to stop by to troll you more effectively than that. He's an amateur. in reply to radiocolin #
  • @jayvert Well, just like Simon, they just want to prey on insecurity. So, if you've got none, it slides right past ;) in reply to jayvert #
  • Tired voice & super clear monitor mix is an exercise in fine control. My set was Saving Grace, Space Oddity, & a very mellow Something Real. #
  • @adventuregrrl Welcome to the fold :) in reply to adventuregrrl #
  • Bus stuck behind tow truck. Broad street line stopped in tunnel. Not my all-time fav commute, that's for sure. Still, day will be awesome. #
  • @JettSuperior I know, right? If I knew I was going to be in the public eye so much I would have moisturized more last weekend. in reply to JettSuperior #
  • @mayanorthen I know! I wasn't sure you had made it until I saw @gloriabell tweet at you afterward. Clearly I wasn't networking very well ;) in reply to mayanorthen #
  • @mikeyil I would post that in my cube if I could somehow illustrate the animated adorableness of his strolling. in reply to mikeyil #
  • Relatively concise: 8 Things That Suck About the iPad, on Gizmodo http://bit.ly/b8eZDi #
  • Looks like I get ~40mins @ home before heading out to see my dear friend Victoria Spaeth @ Tin Angel. More of my house than I saw yesterday. #
  • @Caterina not sure if it qualifies, but Jack Killed Mom on the last Jenny Lewis album? in reply to Caterina #
  • @eddidit I still haven't seen it with the musical commentary; make sure to check it out! in reply to eddidit #
  • @suzi_quzi what are you looking for? Planning for it? Tracking methods? Recording/micing techniques? in reply to suzi_quzi #
  • Back from the Tin; amazing split bill of Victoria Spaeth ( http://bit.ly/j3IOO ) & Sandlot Heroes ( http://bit.ly/baSsjh ). Both fantastic! #
  • @brimil My text message invite to this was WHERE? in reply to brimil #
  • Any hesitation I had about calling out of work today was absolved by the fact that I finally got out of bed five minutes ago. #
  • @redmoonriver Well, I got up to call out at an appropriate time. I just slept an extra night of sleep between then and now :) in reply to redmoonriver #
  • I think I know what I'll be doing all weekend while E is away on tour :) #
  • Although, 101 episode is something like 70 hours… a little bit more than the weekend holds in total. #
  • Maybe I'm feeling fine and I'm just in a rut because I'm wearing sweatpants. I haven't owned a pair of sweatpants since 1992. #
  • I've been spending the waking parts of the day watching Che – now on to the 2nd part. Strangely unstructured movie, borders on documentary. #
  • @jamiemontague I share this sentiment exactly. Excelsior, as they say. in reply to jamiemontague #
  • Anytime my iPod plays a pre-AI Kris Allen song I perk up. "I like this," I say to myself. Post-AI Kris songs don't get the same reaction. #
  • If you're looking for an informative #ff, try @HowStuffWorks. Every tweet is a link to a new article, all fascinating and frequently useful. #
  • @mandy_payne He had an LP called "Brand New Shoes." Rickey.org had links to some of it during the show. If I could find it I'd buy it. in reply to mandy_payne #
  • Fav lunch break location + awesome client/friend for company = vast improvement in the quality of my day. #
  • I just ousted @bonjing as the mayor of Bonte on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/7xWSe4 #
  • Article on new revenue streams for musicians; interesting anecdote on an indie fundraising to record a new disc – http://bit.ly/9tTfoM #
  • @bglusman Happy to meet you, via @myasmine! I'm a local indie musician who created my own backend tool w/PHP to catalog my songs. #
  • @bglusman Would love to learn more, potentially beta. I am solo and with a band; my wife is also the lead singer of a band. All Philly local in reply to bglusman #
  • Important question before you head out for the weekend: If I did a regular, (bi-?)weekly web-concert, which night of the week would be best? #
  • @amanda_nan How could you possibly use that much in that house!!! That's more than our combined gas/electric in the coldest or hottest month in reply to amanda_nan #
  • @valkrye131 I dunno, doesn't Wednesday put me against Lost? Who does anything interesting on a Monday? in reply to valkrye131 #
  • @valkrye131 Shows how much attention I pay to tv ;) in reply to valkrye131 #
  • @ryancoleman A shame that's such a unique occurence. Wish we could see that sort of open dialog regularly at all levels as a check/balance. in reply to ryancoleman #
  • @heathie I was tempted similarly, but my cube doesn't have sweatpants or a couch, so I opted to brave the cold to regain those priviledges. in reply to heathie #
  • Little girl on bus evoked a memory of my asking to bring 2 GI Joes to a Madonna concert w/me, age 8. It was important to their storyline… #
  • Potential entertainment: noted red carpet starlet {sic} @amandapalmer doing a drunken French #LOFNOTC webcast at http://bit.ly/AFPparty #
  • RT @CoachCharrise: It's very hard to sell something to an audience you're not in love with.– Isabel Parlett in reply to CoachCharrise #
  • @katiecupcakes Good for you, on multiple accounts! in reply to katiecupcakes #
  • @thatdrew I hope that counts yards he covers on kicks if they let him have his way and play on special teams early on. in reply to thatdrew #
  • Presently looking gorgeous, singing in French, & playing ukulele: @amandapalmer rocking out for Losers Of Friday Night On Their Computers. #
  • @amandapalmer APPLAUSE. Do you speak French well enough to have known how that translates in English as you sang it? #
  • "I think there is a difference between people growing up knowing boredom, and people who only know boredom w/the internet." – @amandapalmer #
  • My @bagelspice use of the night is blending it with some basil and melted butter to use as a wash on pirogies. Considering frying them in it #
  • @phillydesign Her point was more re: what is the perpetual lack of boredom doing to kids? Doesn't the best creativity arise form boredom? in reply to phillydesign #
  • @bengarvey @phillydesign This sounds paradoxical, but I would have never learned HTML or started a blog on today's internet. in reply to bengarvey #
  • Already ditched my carefully planned evening of work to practice new stuff on piano in case we have an impromptu drum rehearsal tomorrow. #
  • 10 Bad Computing Habits To Avoid In 2010 http://bit.ly/9g9suJ Detailed post aimed at people w/ low & moderate computer proficiency. #
  • Continually amazed by Che as I head into pt2 of the film. How did he get these amazing shots? How did they create such a realistic portrait? #
  • @YoungBillyMays The pace is GLACIAL, and it does not have typical rising/falling action. At this point I'm pretending it is a documentary. in reply to YoungBillyMays #
  • @YoungBillyMays Then I think you'll dig. Pt1 paints him (& Castro) unequivocally as heroes. Seems like pt2 introduces some dissent. in reply to YoungBillyMays #
  • @YoungBillyMays Not enjoying pt2 at all. in reply to YoungBillyMays #
  • Gave up on Che pt2. Pt1 was fascinating, passionate, even when it descended into daily guerrilla errata. Pt2 is washed out, w/out content. #
  • How is it that I am still the major of the Electric Factory on @foursquare? Surely some plugged-in concert-goer is there more often than me? #
  • @YoungBillyMays Maybe if it had English dubbing so I could multi-task. in reply to YoungBillyMays #
  • Okay, I am in a cinematic grump now. Need to reboot. Either watching Matrix in French or Fellowship of the Ring. #
  • Suddenly tomorrow includes a drum rehearsal for my solo stuff with at least one promised Lady Gaga song. And me playing keyboards. Oh boy. #
  • @theoreticalgirl Wow, based on that tweet I should be hanging out with you tonight. (Um, on the Madonna element. Not the slutness.) in reply to theoreticalgirl #
  • @theoreticalgirl Clearly my MMP-night notifications have FAILED, because my ass should totally be on that dancefloor. in reply to theoreticalgirl #
  • Watching original, un-enhanced Star Wars: A New Hope in French. Opening crawl is still in English. #
  • @suzi_quzi Quoi? Le translation est méchant? Ou, est ce que tu crois que "New Hope" est décevant? Je ne peux pas l'imaginer. in reply to suzi_quzi #
  • @suzi_quzi Eh, I mangled that last bit. I really have fallen off that "relearn French" kick I was on during/after honeymoon. in reply to suzi_quzi #
  • @suzi_quzi Oh. Mais, les mots sont un element de la film (comme, le film actual), alors ce serait trop difficile remplacer sur le DVD. in reply to suzi_quzi #
  • @suzi_quzi Est ce qu tu toujours parler Francais, ou tu justement plus etude. in reply to suzi_quzi #
  • @suzi_quzi Un chose favorite pour ma femme et moi est regarder les films nous saivons tres bien dans Francais. La Matrice, en particulier. in reply to suzi_quzi #
  • @suzi_quzi I'm finding I actually understand a lot of this just by knowing the plot & listening, rather than translating from the subtitles. in reply to suzi_quzi #
  • I ought to make a Twitter account where I only follow French-speaking Twitterers and only tweet in French. That would be fun. #
  • There is no way I'm doing my inaugural morning jog in 18 degree weather, so I'm substituting 30 minutes of DDR as my am heart-rate elevation #
  • @suzi_quzi I had every intent of minoring, but I didn't love how it was set up at my school; a lot of time sitting alone in the language lab in reply to suzi_quzi #
  • @time_diarist I'm taking a page out of your book & keeping a close diary of my time this weekend. Too many goals in 2010 to waste weekends! #
  • I think this simple article on the foundations of charisma is apt. RT @Minervity How To: Develop Your Charisma – http://bit.ly/4DXFSH #
  • @ReallyBigThings I really don't know how you all do it. Are the heating bills astronomical, or the houses just better insulated? in reply to ReallyBigThings #
  • Right now I'm discovering that the last 30mins of hard cardio I performed was probably in high school gym class. I'll do anything for an A. #
  • @NealWiser Isn't that the benefit of a gym, that the ambulance has a fixed location to pluck you from, rather than a run path or a river? ;) in reply to NealWiser #
  • @marenhogan I hate that so much. I get it in my lower back sometimes, makes me afraid one of my kidneys is going to explode. in reply to marenhogan #
  • Gee, maybe I'm cold because it's 49 degrees in the house because E conscientiously turned off the heat when she left & I never turned it on? #
  • @cheryldoherty We're in S. Philly, and haven't seen a flurry in days – even when northern bits got ice on Thursday. Thinking tonight, maybe. in reply to cheryldoherty #
  • Actual data on ROI of video. A must-read. RT @timjahn Apparently videos sell products even if customers don't watch them http://su.pr/AAuEV9 #
  • @timjahn That article is awesome. I'll be bringing that to work on Monday. in reply to timjahn #
  • Two weeks from doing my regular voice warm-ups and I might think I'm singing well, but then the warm-ups prove me wrong. Must stretch daily. #
  • Despite the lack of practice, I did manage to squeak out a soprano B on my ranging, so there :) #
  • Oh my, the bitchin' new songs I have prepped for this drum rehearsal. If we don't totally suck I will take a video. #
  • @stagetrailers Cuts both ways. If I'm very toned I can't get the far extremes. My duo has a song I have to sing first, before I get too warm in reply to stagetrailers #
  • This year I might have to keep a tally of how much $ charity direct marketers waste on me in DM. Try a different strategy for online givers. #
  • @melissa_shae Either that or work in a coffee shop. Definitely worth the hard labor to learn some life lessons. in reply to melissa_shae #
  • @akarado So frustrating. Either agencies I give to frittering my donation away on paper or ones I'm ideologically against wasting time on me in reply to akarado #
  • Downside of recording entire rehearsals is the >2hrs of mixdowns that result. Plus side: would cost probably $1k to do this commercially. #
  • I am now a competent enough keyboard player to be in a crappy punk band :) #
  • @saraiderin Hahaha. I've never rehearsed on keyboards before. Did for about 60% tonight. Wasn't terrible! I'm not Tori, but I can play riffs in reply to saraiderin #
  • @gaksdesigns Ha, the meaning changes a bit less that one word :) in reply to gaksdesigns #
  • All-in-all an intense drum rehearsal. Particularly cool versions of Shed, Fixable, & Dumbest Thing I Could Do, all yet unheard on the net. #
  • @saraiderin Our friend had a similar claim so we bought him a washboard to play :) in reply to saraiderin #
  • @saraiderin On a few songs I switched back and forth from keyboards to guitar. That was crazy. Feels like very different parts of my brain. in reply to saraiderin #
  • @saraiderin I'm happy to experiment before people get to know me well, so they won't complain about me selling out guitar to play keys :) in reply to saraiderin #
  • @saraiderin Oh, I can't even remember where we eventually found it. We looked forever. Some housewares antique-y place, or a flea market? in reply to saraiderin #
  • @jerseyshorejen That's crazy! You'd think if they had a big event they'd only book the reserved rooms for the event around the noise. in reply to jerseyshorejen #
  • @SmashleyDubs But you want to the gym! And you have a whole day left! in reply to SmashleyDubs #
  • Contributing a cover to a rateyourmusic.com compilation. Torn between my normal repertoire & the 80s hair cover I've been kicking around. #
  • @bmorrissey I like it when they respond and follow, let's me know they're actually listening instead of just fishing for followers. in reply to bmorrissey #
  • Currently being blown away by The Minor Canon's newest album. Like the good bits of Snow Patrol & Ok Go w/none of the bad. $5 DL on Amazon. #
  • @CurtSiffert Interesting; you upload an entire rehearsal of wavs and give them a reference track and they go to it? Avg $ per hour? in reply to CurtSiffert #
  • Imogen Heap won a Grammy for Best Engineering – now there's a well deserved award, if I've ever heard of one. #
  • Am I huge dork if I'd like to cover The Sound of Silence w/Gina? Am I a huger dork if it's mostly because of how perfect it was in Watchmen? #
  • That would require someone teaching me the harmony, though, because Simon & Garfunkel blend too perfectly for me to pick out a lot of it. #
  • @key4387 That is super-gross. Can't they find a giant version of one of those microwavable bean bags and use that instead? in reply to key4387 #
  • @key4387 Oh, I was referring to the hotel beds… in reply to key4387 #
  • Chillin' at Triumph for a brand new open mic hosted by Dani Mari. This is a great place for one – might strive to become a regular. #
  • (Oh, and I hear rumor of a free inaugural beer for performers. Triumph has lots of tasty brews. Torn between Belgian Golden & Honey Blonde) #
