A couple weeks ago, Wayward writer Greg Franklin wrote about attending a writing workshop in Seattle with Long Winters man John Roderick. In it, Greg praised Roderick's Twitter, and, now that I've finally looked at it, I gotta agree. It is pretty good.
1:06 a.m. yesterday: "Before interviewing the Master Musicians of Joujouka I went to the Russian baths and had a schvitz. Then we ate lamb. Take that, Paul Simon."
Recently, Pitchfork did a roundup of other musicians on Twitter, including Roderick, Lily Allen, Colin Meloy, MC Hammer, a fake Nick Cave and others.
I'm not much of a Twitter warrior, though I do exploit it for the sake of this blog.
However, I'd sure like to know what musicians, local and nonlocal, famous and almo'famous, you're following. Or that you are.
Others of note:
Geordi LaForge (new tattoo, yo!)
Rufus Wainwright (never updates)

@beaumontclub
i follow hip-hop awesome lady Kid Sister (kidsistermelisa), jimmy eat world (jimmyeatworld) and trent reznor (treznor). all of these are real.
i'd recommend, non-music-wise, to read shaquille o'neal's, however. that is also real, and amazing. (the_real_shaq) some fans in phoenix saw he twittered that he was at a diner, went there and actually found him and talked to him, took pics, etc. the best part of his profile is his quotation/about me: "VERY QUOTATIOUS, I PERFORM RANDOM ACTS OF SHAQNESS."
