@tomewing Yup. Even if no one agrees w/ u you’re far better off saying something’s better than something else than resorting to relativism in reply to tomewing #
@tomewing haha fair enough. I’m naive a lot and don’t always see sarcasm… Also, being Israeli, I get a lot of hate framed as relativism.. in reply to tomewing #
@tomewing agreed. It’s not even ideal in a hypothetical sense, but individuals should have standards, or taste, along w/ self-awareness in reply to tomewing #
@tomewing that’s a very rare preference, i’m sure u realize. Most ppl read abt/listen to ppl who are a lot like them. To a comical extent. in reply to tomewing #
Random woman walked into the studio saying she was drawn by the music & that we suck. She complained abt being told to leave #
@FrankRamz Yeah, we assume she was quite drunk…. Just a person walking down the street, not a musician or anything… Sad, actually. in reply to FrankRamz #
Like it, & hope im not hypocritical by RTing this: RT @loudersoft: “People who know don’t talk, and people who talk don’t know.” #
HELP! We need a bassist. Know someone? Or can u help get the word out? U can win fake ‘staches! http://www.thebandfrom.com/bass Pls pls RT!! #

@pars1 haha it’s complicated, unfortunately… in reply to pars1 #
@freeeky thanks! in reply to freeeky #
HELP! We need a bassist. Know one? Can u help get the word out? U can win fake ‘staches! http://www.thebandfrom.com/bass pls RT! #

@dabitch thank you! in reply to dabitch #
Let’s go hang out w/ Beck! RT @pmablog: should i become a Scientologist? #
@anaria thanks for getting the word out about the bassist hunt! in reply to anaria #
@dabitch We’d be honored! (& I do rhythm egg, so there’s def room for the triangle!) in reply to dabitch #
@bdunbar thanks for spreading the word about our bassist hunt!! in reply to bdunbar #
@daydreamrepublc Thanks, Viv! in reply to daydreamrepublc #
What possesses ppl to insist I take their interior design tips? My apt is very minimal, precise – & intentionally so. STFU plebes. So rude. #
@derrick1792 thanks, Derrick! in reply to derrick1792 #
@daydreamrepublc exactly! The less they know, the louder they preach! in reply to daydreamrepublc #
RT @fffolly: say what?! RT @baratunde Harvard prof Gates arrested at Cambridge home #StillBlack #StayClassy http://post.ly/1QEe #
@povertyjetset yeah, I wish there were just a lite, standalone ID3 editor for Mac in reply to povertyjetset #
@MykalBurns hahaha can I get that at pottery barn? The stylerati seem to love that place! in reply to MykalBurns #
@derrick1792 OMG!! Me too!! How rad would that be??? in reply to derrick1792 #
@pars1 hahaha know a good lawyer? in reply to pars1 #
@pmablog You’re speaking my language! Saks has a much better men’s dept than Neiman’s, which is my fav. 4th flr cafe/bar is super good. in reply to pmablog #
@musicisart did you see the new Stella McCartney x Bambi ads? Def inspiring, i think: http://bit.ly/u0v7G in reply to musicisart #
Woo! got a Google Voice invitation. Doesn’t take that long! #
@bdunbar haha, cool, we try to be new and different. Sometimes good, too! =) in reply to bdunbar #
RT @TheBarbaricYawp: RT: The Silversun Pickups (@SSPU) will be having a FREE Secret Show this Wednesday! Details? http://tiny.cc/XVvwt #
!! RT @yvynyl: Link: Spotify strikes deal with IODA, adds 2 million more tracks, preps US launch http://tumblr.com/xqy2ezhqy #
& hello to GQ & Details RT @bryanboy: Say goodbye to men.style.com ! http://bit.ly/2KdKYS #
Haha tough call RT @mattchait: James Blunt declines Weird Al permission to include parody on his new record! Happy? Sad? Cant decide. #
@mikidrapes Me too. Always thought it was kinda dumb for Conde Nast to create online-only brands instead of extending existing ones like GQ in reply to mikidrapes #
Nice! RT @mandalastudio: Mandala Studio is now on Flickr:http://www.flickr.com/photos/mandalastudio/ #
I want an iced latte b/c it’s hot out, but it’s hot out, so I don’t wanna leave the AC to go get it. Lazy catch 22. #
HAHAHA brilliant! RT @pars1: love this: “I don’t read beacuase it makes you think to much” ‘ WHy didn’t anyone tell me that earlier #
@PigsAndPlans how are you doing? how’s work? #
@KatrinaSzish ah, indeed it is. Try 2 focus on where u’r going. Disappointments could be much worse, & you’ll still get there. Fun helps, 2 in reply to KatrinaSzish #
I’m posting about this band Sonjagon tomorrow: http://bit.ly/16cEMZ They’re super good #
New Empire of the Sun video http://bit.ly/KCXO4 #
@pars1 wow!!! Grattis, Pär!!! in reply to pars1 #
Wow. RT @largeheartedboy: Corporate co-opting (including Barnes & Noble) of the “buy local” movement http://bit.ly/J3tfT #
Fashion+music connex might b a myth. Hard to think of legit artists into good fashion & vice versa. So far: Interpol. Maybe Kanye. Who else? #
I mean, image is a big deal in music, fashion ppl are pop culture antennae. But image isn’t fashion, and fashion ppl get songs kinda late. #
YES! Plus Burberry contract RT @JessicaSuarez: @thebandfrom I think Patrick Wolf has great style! http://bit.ly/LsZ2u #
=) + cool britt’a 90s RT @mikidrapes: @thebandfrom Fashion + music more common in the UK, New Pop & New Romantics in the 80′s or ..P. Wolf.. #
@mikidrapes I see Allen & Boots as celebs w/ Hollywood style as opposed to an understanding of fashion, unlike P Wolf. in reply to mikidrapes #
@mikidrapes Then we’re getting into sexuality, too. I think ppl in the UK aren’t as freaked out by homosexuality. No idea if that’s true… in reply to mikidrapes #
@mikidrapes Boots more so than Allen. B looks like she had a Hollywood makeover. Allen is more wordly.Neither has taste or gets fashion.ouch in reply to mikidrapes #
As for fashion ppl’s music, here’s Antonio Berardi’s summer playlist: http://bit.ly/tEFMk #
I love the exceptions, but I still think on the whole, fashion & music intersect in a mutually simplified space. Unlike fashion+art, for ex. #
Style aside, they don’t do high fashion. Maybe Estelle. RT @mikidrapes: @thebandfrom ps –even more: MIA, Bat For Lashes, Estelle … #
@mikidrapes I have no idea! I’m ignorant about the history of music hall drag. “Puritanical America” says a lot! in reply to mikidrapes #
@mikidrapes haha, hate to be mean… It’s pretty standard to be made over by one’s label. Some labels look for raw material to style. in reply to mikidrapes #
Maybe we could say that musicians are more likely to get high fashion than other ppl w/ fame. Errr, that doesn’t sound too charitable, tho. #
For the record, I don’t think that “getting fashion” is the peak of human achievement. I do get annoyed when flamboyance is taken 4 fashion. #
@mikidrapes haha in reply to mikidrapes #
@mikidrapes for me, fashion is the ultimate visual expression of culture. Has to be well made, has to say more than just abt the individual in reply to mikidrapes #
@mikidrapes so yeah, just wearing current clothes is meaningless. As cool as it might be, staying 2 far outside culture is also not fashion in reply to mikidrapes #
@bryanboy & maybe use pieces of ciabatta instead of rice! i like it! in reply to bryanboy #
@pmablog $20. Please ‘publish the results’!! in reply to pmablog #
RT @jonahweiner: “TAZ: 98 KELLY: 100″! A tour of R. Kelly’s house http://bit.ly/YEeRc #

! RT @pmablog: Twilight didn’t break $200mill @ the Box Office. I thought it was some kind of big deal. The Hangover is bigger than Twilight #
I keep thinking about how much gelato I’ll be eating this weekend, and it’s almost making me look fwd to the wisdom tooth extraction. #
@JessicaSuarez OMG! Love it. I’m gonna blog about those lights. Thanks for the tip! in reply to JessicaSuarez #
@JessicaSuarez Wow, her stuff is insane. I really like the writing & photography, too. Everything is so thought out. in reply to JessicaSuarez #
@pars1 what Lefsetz stuff are you referring to? in reply to pars1 #
@pars1 It’s a strange constellation of the biz being in disarray, his audience and his confidence. Such a phenomenon. in reply to pars1 #
@daydreamrepublc Wow, that place is amazing! Have fun! in reply to daydreamrepublc #
@bryanboy they’re all gonna talk about how fabulous you are, and you’ll prolly have a good time catching up w/ friends. in reply to bryanboy #
@bryanboy ha, then you’re like me, ‘cept I avoid these things. If you do go, remember you can always fake a headache & leave! in reply to bryanboy #

Not being sarcastic. I love math. #
@daydreamrepublc YAY! I can’t believe we haven’t talked math yet! Check out my math club on Facebook: http://bit.ly/5ri1X in reply to daydreamrepublc #
@daydreamrepublc Yeah, I used to be pissed b/c I thought I sucked at music. (before I tried, du!) You’ll love math club!! in reply to daydreamrepublc #
RT @onethirtybpm: Phoenix Reveal Fall U.S. Tour Dates http://tinyurl.com/lffafp #
Sorry, my immigrant’s grasp of the English language doesn’t stretch far enough for me ‘to get’ the title “I Gotta Feeling” #
@pmablog and it’s marketed as ‘real’ and ‘street,’ right? That’s somehow worse & more abusive to our culture. Their sales must be inflated. in reply to pmablog #
@Aziziz Thank you! <3d your estimate of Scout Willis’ SAT score. Did ppl at brown have a son-of/daughter-of fetish? It plagues Harvard bros in reply to Aziziz #
Help! What movies should I get for my bed rest? I like James Bond, Jason Bourne, The Graduate, and Legally Blonde. Tend to h8 most movies. #

@bryanboy genius! Go register 1900BRYANBOY.com right now!! in reply to bryanboy #
@povertyjetset thanks! I’m at an ice cream store now, so no need to imagine a happy place in reply to povertyjetset #
How did I notice the guy chasing me? He almost rammed into my car. but it’s all okay now! #
@KatrinaSzish thanks! Yeah, still a bit woozy but was fine enough to drive home. in reply to KatrinaSzish #
Worked! totally hooked up w/ d nutter RT @mattchait: @thebandfrom that’s what boys do when they like a girl but can’t find a rock to throw. #
@piggymurph Thank you!!! Yeah, no fun at all. in reply to piggymurph #
@daydreamrepublc thanks! Yeah, there are nutters out on the road! in reply to daydreamrepublc #
I’m at the Hammer. Highest concentration of hipsters i’ve seen in the 310, but they don’t bug. Either they’re cleaner or there r good lights #
@siashin aw, thank you!! Next time I’ll call the police… I never use the phone while driving, so I thought I’d need 2 pull over. Dumb. in reply to siashin #
3 ppl were noodle dancing. They stopped by the time I started tweeting. Love the 310. U know they’d still be at it at the 323 #
@fffolly haha John galliano comes to mind. (relieved his lack of taste is more widely discussed). Most flamboyance is costume, not fashion. in reply to fffolly #
@fffolly so true!!! Advertising $s and celeb glam do carry u far in fashion. So wrong he got the CFDA! in reply to fffolly #
I love musicians that jump around, make eye contact w/ the audience & each other, & seem to ‘enjoy what they’re doing’ #
@mattchait Twitter cleaned out spammer accts in reply to mattchait #
@tomewing I think they’re trying to build GReader into a social network . I share but i’m very private abt it in reply to tomewing #

@tomewing I wonder if google will release a GReader API & encourage bloggers 2 add a module showing who liked posts etc like Tumblr in reply to tomewing #
