My tweets of the last week:
- Struggling to make Monday as awesome as possible. If I can make it home w/out losing my temper or crying in frustration I’ll call it a win. #
- @Arcati81 Let’s just say if we were rehearsing tonight I’d want to do Martyr, Wait, and any other song where I get to scream “fuck” in reply to Arcati81 #
- @marykateruf Wow, you didn’t seem whooped at all to me. I was completely defenseless against Monday, today. I thought I had a plan, but, no. in reply to marykateruf #
- Today will be more awesome than yesterday. A beautiful chill in the air & I’m rehearing w/@arcati81 tonight. Just needs a solid middle ;) #
- @wfenza Yes, with my ample free time I will do just that :) in reply to wfenza #
- This weekend we played a gig that was both awesome and awful, but I may have been the only awful one… http://bit.ly/dfgWso #
- @jayvert I just don’t get it, But music isn’t just notes, there’s a psychological element too. Sometimes messy can still be good :) in reply to jayvert #
- @jayvert PS, where’s the best place to keep tabs on your schedule of shows? in reply to jayvert #
- @jayvert Awesome! Not sure why I never thought to ask before. I have to DL some tracks tonight! in reply to jayvert #
- @jayvert Any thoughts on @bandcamp‘s changes to Free Downloads? I feel a little better after they responded to my comments. in reply to jayvert #
- My new guitar luthier is AMAZING. Just got off the phone about some fretwork on my bass. For DelCo friends, hit Todaro’s guitar shop. #
- Still in awe that the President of the United States is presently standing on a stage where I acted in my 1st play & performed my 1st song. #
- @JennyMack Awesome! I’d love hear @amandapalmer speak @ a #140conf I just nabbed tickets for the @dresdendolls 10th anniversary show in NYC in reply to JennyMack #
- Just happened upon the xpn local music blog http://thekey.xpn.org – seems like a pretty cool mix of majors & indies. Definitely bookmarked! #
- @mpomy HA, that’s my favorite tweet of the month by far :) PS: Any chance of luring you out to our show on Thursday? in reply to mpomy #
- @stlvolunteen Though I’m honored he spoke at my old high school, I agree. #Masterman kids seriously don’t need the “stay focused” message. in reply to stlvolunteen #
- @stlvolunteen On the other hand, #Masterman is a best-in-class example that the public school system can produce = or > results than private in reply to stlvolunteen #
- Not sure if it’s the severe allergies or the severe lack of sleep due to severe allergies, but I feel like death warmed over at the moment. #
- @gloriabell Actually, i think I might now be *playing* @phillyfmfest? So, probably less in the market for a ticket than before :) in reply to gloriabell #
- Ahh, the time of year that I have to download a bunch of classic singles and then submit a check request for them at work. So entertaining. #
- My 29 year streak has ended – I finally had to buy a copy of “Don’t Stop Believin'” #
- Making a mix CD for work events is like programming for @b101philly: every song must be good, well-known, inoffensive & a wee bit overplayed #
- (Yes, that was a backhanded compliment; @b101philly does AMAZING research to pick their new songs, but they ARE the station of Dr’s offices) #
- Fantastic phone shot of @ladygaga in the living dress @ tonight’s show from @ajohnsru: http://twitpic.com/2otoc6 #
- Super-excited to be co-headling @TinAngelPHL tonight! If you are free and in Philly, see our awesome three-act bill for just $10; tix @ door #
- @Arcati81 Oh dear, are you sure you can keep rhythm on “Holy Grail” in high-heeled boots? ;) I have three different wardrobe options w/me. in reply to Arcati81 #
- @seesawshuffle Ha, we’re playing tonight too, but I was tempted to cancel if it was Sean Hayes from Will & Grace :) in reply to seesawshuffle #
- Gee, this would be an awesome time for there to be a fire drill in my building. At least I already finished doing vocal warm-ups. #
- @Not_Pele Oh, no, you misunderstand me – I think I may be stuck up here without elevators. in reply to Not_Pele #
- Suited up backstage @tinangelPHL, awaiting our soundcheck. http://twitpic.com/2p30fn #
- My musical other half: @arcati81 in my vintage green jacket backstage. http://twitpic.com/2p33nz #
- @ShellyKramer Our similar motto at work consists of a sign with a martini glass that says, “Copywriting, yes. Proofreading, no.” in reply to ShellyKramer #
- I don’t know that I’ve ever been as enamored w/one of our performances as I was w/our debut of “Dumbest Thing I Could Do” tonight. Video TK! #
- @marykateruf I was totally surprised by Noche’s pizza. Like, it’s legit gourmet! in reply to marykateruf #
- @not_pele Eisley fall tour tix starting to be on sale. NYC 10/21. #
- @marykateruf Playlist from last night, minus a couple tunes: http://bit.ly/actin1009 #
- @amanda_nan Relive the Tin Angel glory: http://bit.ly/actin1009 in reply to amanda_nan #
- See Arcati Crisis play The Buggles’ 80s classic “Video Killed the Radio Star,” recorded live @TinAngelPHL: http://youtu.be/g8mt1PoioH8 #
- @suz925 @roxiekat Since you couldn’t be w/us last night, here’s a video playlist of most of Arcati Crisis’s set: http://bit.ly/actin1009 #
- @big_onion Did you have to shop around for a while to find a vet that saw ducks? Seems a little unusual. in reply to big_onion #
- Out of four practice spaces in this studio I am pretty sure I’m the only musician wearing ear plugs. We’re going to be a deaf generation. #
- Crab fries with @filmstarband! (@ Chickie’s & Pete’s – Roosevelt Bvld. w/ 2 others) http://4sq.com/8djPma #
- Wow, quite suddenly I am playing a surprise show tomorrow night w/ @filmstarband in Ardmore @ The Rusty Nail! My PA debut w/ Filmstar! #
- Ninja gig with @filmstarband! (@ Rusty Nail) http://4sq.com/bzdTwK #
- And there goes my first bar gig as a bassist. Weird not being the front-guy who has to seduce the audience, but that’s @not_pele‘s job ;) #
- @PopTrashBeauty A classic. I still need to pick up her new record; Blink the Brightest was amazing. in reply to PopTrashBeauty #
- @PopTrashBeauty One of our big influences as a band, actually – @arcati81 and I were both huge fans of Burdens in high school. in reply to PopTrashBeauty #
- I swear, I’m too fussy to be a musician: listening to the next band from outside the bar with earplugs because the bar was too smokey for me #
- @brimil haha, that sounds kinda awesome. in reply to brimil #
- @joshwoodward A vast number of Philly acts use them since they’re local, and I’ve had many friends work there. Can’t recall any complaints. in reply to joshwoodward #
- @jshanley Seriously! It took me a moment to catch on to what it was, but what a perfect frame for that trailer. in reply to jshanley #
- @PopTrashBeauty Oh, i’d so love to – either with Arcati Crisis or @filmstarband. The latter hit there before I joined. I love Boston. in reply to PopTrashBeauty #
- @PopTrashBeauty PS: video playlist from our Arcat Crisis show on Thursday http://bit.ly/actin1009 in reply to PopTrashBeauty #
- @mookyninja I feel like a wuss, but I don’t want to be sick or have hearing damage. Seriously, no musicians in Philly ever wear earplugs. in reply to mookyninja #
- @djmarilyn Hey, I don’t have anything against *wearing* meat, just consuming it ;) in reply to djmarilyn #
- @joshwoodward I might actually have one of their digipaks back at home. Maybe I can snap a shot for you in the morning. in reply to joshwoodward #
- @joshwoodward but, yes, the printing quality is pretty solid. I know a designer who printed some packages with them and was very satisfied. in reply to joshwoodward #
- @Not_Pele @brimil I don’t know many movies that can boast a better drinking game than Clue. Except many Harry Potter. cc: @amanda_nan in reply to Not_Pele #
- Trying to turn Sunday into my editorial calendar day so I’m not so stressed to write all week. Writing for 4hrs so far, and no end in sight #
- having hroat/lung issues from last night’s smokey bar. I need to get over my need to be nice & walk out of smokey places when my set’s over. #
- @wockerjabby They don’t in Philly bars either, which is how I finally started gigging a few years ago, but Filmstar plays out-of-city pubs in reply to wockerjabby #
- My throat/lungs throb from last night’s smokey bar. I need to retire my need to be nice & just walk out of smokey places when my set is over #
- @phillybosslady I feel like such a primadonna saying this, but I really can’t play smokey rooms. Not only icky, but my voice hurts for days. in reply to phillybosslady #
- I always get a little twitchy signing a contract for any kind of media – I don’t like signing away the rights to my content! #
- In other news, I have been writing for eight hours with hardly an interruption. Maybe it’s time for a small break to generate some thoughts. #
