looking forward to the @coolhaus roaming ice cream sandwich truck this summer. i recognize the marketing gimmickry and choose not to care. #

My 3rd most popular blog post this month: http://bit.ly/W0PZX mid century modern McDonald’s in Palm Springs-published in August. Weird! #
@loudersoft looks like an HRO post in the making in reply to loudersoft #
very cool, Rob! RT @gallagherphoto: ‘The DogTown iPhone project’; part 2 http://twitpic.com/5307t #
@gallagherphoto =) What’s the premise? Series of shots using the iPhone? in reply to gallagherphoto #
If I start a tweet with @somefakeacct, would it automatically disappear from all my followers’ feeds? #fixreplies #
Any hacks that override the #fixreplies bullshit? #
@gallagherphoto super cool! you should try Twitterfon 2 send the pics directly from your iPhone! (and download Tweetdeck while you’re at it) in reply to gallagherphoto #
What if we start the reply tweet with [space]@username instead of hitting Reply? Mentions are supposed to work. #replyhack #
RT @luckthelady: MoMA’s “I See” campaign ties cold abstract work to the most mundane, precious of personal experiences. http://bit.ly/flkPu #
so sick of entitlement RT @tomewing: When people say “[x] should listen to their customers”, they often mean “[x] should listen to me”. ] #
Is it construction or is it my neighbors M6? I think it’s the M6! Jerk. #
Pet peeve: using the word “myself” when “me” is the correct pronoun. Often an attempt to convey modesty but is actlly reluctant arrogance. #
Barneys Co-op ≠ Barneys & there’s no fashion in LA, only clothes => so-called fashion shows at the Grove. Mercy. http://bit.ly/yz3IN #
Did you see the prank in which some girl hired a stripper to sub for her at her high school reunion? http://bit.ly/lJTfa #
@derrick1792 =) same parking lot my high school had. Somehow i think there’d be more boob jobs in my class. in reply to derrick1792 #

Andrew Bird kinda looks like Sasha Baron Cohen. Bird show 7/10, Greek Thtr, LA: presale tomorrow 10am password: ANDREW http://bit.ly/12aORK #
@pars1 OF COURSE! Most of the memorable pop hits were written by Swedes. Gaga is a bit of a songwriter herself, but far from what she claims in reply to pars1 #
@pars1 haha nice to hear that you agree! Bjork is mean, dirty, and foul, too. At least Gaga is having fun. in reply to pars1 #
@PigsAndPlans me neither! Tried once, didn’t make it to commercials. in reply to PigsAndPlans #
@pars1 i wonder if she’s making any money, or if she’s got a Rihanna-type slavery deal… in reply to pars1 #
@1000TimesYes Glad to hear I’m not the only one! in reply to 1000TimesYes #
@pars1 HAHA She might know she’s got nothing, & that’s why she’s so damn pretentious. & i hear that’s just how Icelandic ppl speak normally in reply to pars1 #
HAHA I meant her label contract was shit, but I <3 yr take RT @pars1: @thebandfrom do you mean that she is together with Chris or the label? #
@pars1 somehow, Swedes can just make sentences and not speak via haikus. But yeah, there are just 3 guy names, 3 girl names, & 2 last names in reply to pars1 #
@pars1 =D yeah, sucks to be a regular person in Iceland now. The party economy collapsed! in reply to pars1 #
XOXO the hipster grifter II RT @mattchait: “a lotta blood” http://newyork.craigslist.org/mnh/mis/1169551784.html #
@siashin du, Odessa is where my Ukrainian ancestors are from… Yeah, not enough Hung. places! I’d <3 a Hung. bakery-the french copied them. in reply to siashin #
Way to take me out of context. A Hung. is short for “a HUNGARIAN r$%” RT @mattchait: “I’d <3 a Hung”, quote of the day goes to @thebandfrom #
The New Yorker innovators issue will be the bane of my online reading experience via self-congratulating ignorant pseudointellectualism #
@mattchait Fair enough. Your QOTD, your rules. You sound really happy in NYC! in reply to mattchait #
If I were to write poignant lyrics, maybe they’d be like Hello Saferide – “Anna.” But I write surreal party songs. ♫ http://blip.fm/~6874n #
@tomewing Taylor Swift comes across like more of a complete adult than most indie chanteuses. in reply to tomewing #
@siashin WOW. I’ll make a note never to move to Morningside Hts or else I’ll need a new wardrobe a few sizes bigger. in reply to siashin #
@tomewing HAHA Yes! Maybe she’ll Robyn out later on – she has it in her. in reply to tomewing #
@tomewing Oh, you’re right… How indie-ist of me! =) in reply to tomewing #

To find the #facebook #iLike music app, you search for neither “iLike” nor “music.” Search for “songs.” Also, no settings button anywhere #
Does anyone go to artist pages on #Facebook? I’m assuming it’s not a priority for y’alls. #
@markhhsp Cool! How did you find new music on #Facebook? in reply to markhhsp #
Amnesty international resorts to PETA-style sexploitation. Yay, I get to dismiss them both simultaneously! http://bit.ly/Fcqt6 #
@markhhsp Ah, so it’s more about content from other ppl & not the artists’ #facebook pages themselves. Could you send me a link to his page? in reply to markhhsp #
@luckthelady hahaha in reply to luckthelady #
@papermagazine any links to McChrystal pieces you can recommend? in reply to papermagazine #
@markhhsp yeah, i get that. But friends could send you anywhere, not FB specifically. My band’s website gives a much better user exp than FB in reply to markhhsp #
@markhhsp http://www.thebandfrom.com #MySpace is the most straight forward to manage, STILL. ppl use #last.fm more than #iLike, i think. in reply to markhhsp #

Swedish cover of the Ting Tings “That’s not my Name” (in Swedish) http://bit.ly/wC0fM #
Embarrassing but ok: I agree w/ a Brandon Flowers quote that Perez posted re: obsession w/ Led Zeppelin & Nirvana in US http://bit.ly/135N8b #
I’ve observed more Pavement than Led Zeppelin obsessions, but the gist is right on. #
@dabitch Yay! Give it a couple of weeks, and tell me how it goes! U can also bitch at me for any potential headaches in the next few days in reply to dabitch #
@pmablog you must have gotten 50 new followers from this tweet! #twitterfail #googlefail #whyItweet in reply to pmablog #

@derrick1792 I can do w/o Led Zeppeln, Nirvana, & Pavement. I agree w/ Brandon that obsessing over these bands blocks good music. I’m euro.. in reply to derrick1792 #
