Your Guide To the Twitterverse: Musician Editions
Since Twitter is apparently taking over the universe, I think it's important that I educate you all on the best musicians to follow. Get a-twitterin'...
Lily Allen: Lily is currently on tour, so her tweets are mostly rhyming riddles leading fans to spots where she has hidden pairs of tickets.
Jay Reatard: Pretty average tweets about his day-to-day routine. Lots of comments about food and music, plus odd punctuation use.
Edward Droste (of Grizzly Bear): Fantasizes about rolling in Wayne Coyne's hamster ball and posts tour/album announcements. Also tweets about strollin' through NYC.
Colin Meloy: Mourns closing book stores, makes up NPR names, celebrates Record Store Day. Pretty much exactly how you would imagine Colin Meloy's mind working.
John Mayer: Enthusiastic, self-absorbed and funny. Lately he's been hosting contests to see the unusual tattoos (and offering signed guitars or handwritten song lyrics as prizes!).
Amanda Palmer: Currently, lots and lots of Coachella updates! Other than that, lots of pictures and sarcasm.
Ted Leo: Favorite songs, pictures of his travels, funny exchanges with other tweeters.
Asher Roth: Weed, sports, and self-promotion.
D.A. Wallach (of Chester French): Pretty much just self-promotion.
Skye Skjelset (of Fleet Foxes): From-the-road tour updates, gets really excited about seeing Natalie Portman walking her dog.
Robin Pecknold (of Fleet Foxes): From-the-road tour updates, favorite movies, puppy-love for Leonard Cohen.
Mates of State: Commentary on favorite cities, cute motivational sayings.
