What I Tweeted, 2010-08-16 Edition

My tweets of the last week:

Unearthed two fantastic covers on video from earlier this year – looks like some new full motion Peter is in store for you, soon :) #
Also, I am now officially campaigning for Take Me Home Tonight by Eddie Money to be our next Arcati Crisis cover after we're done with Muse #
Philly friends, my 8/22 house concert with @miekapauley is officially official! I'll have a link for tix soon, but you can DM me to reserve #
If you haven't heard @miekapauley's Mouth of Paris EP, get thee to http://bit.ly/aO4RK3 and DL it for free ASAP. It's kinda amazing. #
Body still adjusted to my freakish 5:30 wake-time from photo shoots last week. Problem being, brain doesn't wake up until 7am @ the earliest #
@scarylawyer Maybe you should get the money back; now you have to put her through some kind of deprogramming. That can get expensive. in reply to scarylawyer #
@scarylawyer I know you have enough vinyl to make it happen ;) in reply to scarylawyer #
Trying something new on the blog today – made a mixtape to get your #musicmonday off to a good start. Videos & MP3s @ http://bit.ly/90vCSZ #
#MusicMonday Mixtape: Check out the video for @miekapauley's killer All the Same Mistakes: http://bit.ly/cNOiNP -See her @ my house on 8/22! #
I got hooked on @MiekaPauley in '03 when I saw her open for Andy Stochansky. She only had an acoustic LP, but I could see the awesome in her #
Ticket reservations for our awesome @miekapauley house concert on 8/22 (also starring me) are now live! http://bit.ly/mieka1008 #
#MusicMonday Mixtape: Check out @filmstarband rocking The World Is Mine at the legendary Stone Pony in Asbury Park: http://bit.ly/d4qIMJ #
World Is Mine is one of my favorite @filmstarband tracks to play bass on, even if it's still eluding me. DL it for free http://bit.ly/b7lTPV #
FYI, because you've all asked, I'm working with @filmstarband to see if we can do some Philly dates w/me filling in on bass. Info soon! #
#MusicMonday Mixtape: unsure how @Plumb_artist hasn't broken bigger; her "Without You" is a great female alterna-rocker http://bit.ly/dsjj5q #
@melissa_shae I wish we had a recording somewhere of @not_pele singing @plumb_artist's Without You with our acapella group. It was awesome. in reply to melissa_shae #
All of these #MusicMonday Mixtape tracks are collected for your viewing/hearing pleasure in this morning's blog post: http://bit.ly/90vCSZ #
#MusicMonday Mixtape: My fav band is Garbage; they have a habit of secreting awayawesome tunes like this as b-sides: http://bit.ly/aSpX3a #
Some of the new @filmstarband songs are similar to Garbage's sound on "Bleed Like Me;" share influences of girl-groups, Bowie, 80s brit-rock #
#MusicMonday Mixtape: I think @tracy_bonham's Something Beautiful is a textbook case of songwriting perfection. Hear it http://bit.ly/drjPHi #
I've been listening to @Tracy_Bonham for over 15yrs! Touring behind new LP Masts of Manhatta, getting strong reviews, was on Leno last week! #
@pamelaribon Are they having some sort of manic episode, as a band? Leaving the label, fine, but Garcia's sweaty head as the cover? Really? in reply to pamelaribon #
@axestatic Have a Madonna blog project in mind for the fall that I wanted to share with you; I think you might be interested ;) in reply to axestatic #
@mpomy @thekrismohfanz My love for Shirley & the boys knows no bounds. I literally have every b-side they've ever released. Hard to acquire. #
@THEkrismohfanz Awesome news re: the pitch, BTW ;) in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
Taking every fiber of responsible adulthood in my body not to order the Breedlove fretless bass my eBay saved search just spit out at me. #
@mpomy Supposedly they were back in the studio at some point this year. Shirley did some interesting solo stuff, but none of it saw release. in reply to mpomy #
#MusicMonday Mixtape: Guilty pleasure alert: I can never turn off Eddie Money's Take Me Home Tonight w/Ronnie Spector: http://bit.ly/ac2FlL #
@mpomy If you don't already, like Shirley's fan page on Facebook. She has some solo stuff on the player. Reportedly an entire LP was shelved in reply to mpomy #
@pamelaribon I've felt that way about all Weezer since circa 2004. in reply to pamelaribon #
#MusicMonday Mixtape: @okgo's What To Do is a personal theme song of mine; they performed it ON HANDBELLS from this Sat http://bit.ly/cV6xe0 #
That's it for today's #MusicMonday mixtape. You can hear (& for a limited time, DL) all of the songs @ CK: http://bit.ly/90vCSZ #
Did you dig my #MusicMonday format? Too many tweets? Not enough songs? Let me know. I want to find ways to share more of my fav music w/you. #
I'll never understand why people insist on writing instructions & body copy in title case, as if that makes it automatically more important. #
@pamelaribon I have a running list of those sorts of artists. I just pretend they stopped making records and became noted recluses. in reply to pamelaribon #
Dear @Twitter: "Who to follow" has suggested exactly one valid person to follow, but at least two dozen I am specifically avoiding. Good job #
@Not_Pele I believe you could revise to, "Reanimated corpse of Weezer strikes again in dastardly undead plot." @amandanan @pamelaribon in reply to Not_Pele #
@RoxieKat We actually don't own a crock pot ;) Loving the house. Having the house-concert as a mini-warming to see how people use the space in reply to RoxieKat #
Want to see me & awesome indie artist @miekapauley play an intimate house concert on 8/22? Visit http://bit.ly/mieka1008 to reserve a ticket #
@chirpstats I haven't seen an update since 7/29 – everything okay over there? Hope all is well. in reply to chirpstats #
@MelGreiner What exactly do nuns wear to sunbathe? in reply to MelGreiner #
@MelGreiner No habits?! in reply to MelGreiner #
@markb I know, right? Still not entirely sure how I got to this hour of the day. in reply to markb #
@setlistmonkey I feel like everyone I know w/out an iPhone has an android (me included). Cool tool; I wound up building my own to do similar in reply to setlistmonkey #
@iladelphia Three blocks from our old house. Can't say I'm missing the 'hood, at the moment. in reply to iladelphia #
I know I'm promoting her show & thus am not totally trustworthy, but seriously, @miekapauley's Paris EP is so damn good http://bit.ly/aO4RK3 #
Metrics tell me y'all weren't wild about the slew of links today. Still determined to find a good way to share a mixtape on #musicmonday #
@THEkrismohfanz Rehearsal the next two nights for two different bands; theoretically rehearsing solo Thursday? No time to dance! @stevecis in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
Well, it took a year and a half, but it looks like the world is finally going to get a look at some of our honeymoon photos ;) #
@RobIsEvil Some, like, four. Photoshop is deep rabbit hole for me after watching designers use it all day and @not_pele use it all night. in reply to RobIsEvil #
@SteveCis What! I love Tracy Bonham! That was one of the first concerts Gina and I went to together. Alas, we're rehearsing tomorrow night. in reply to SteveCis #
@radiocolin Oh lord, I don't move things around and replace things. I just try to make people the right color. in reply to radiocolin #
@bengarvey so many great places to run in your area, and they're mostly flat! Here it's sceneic, but a little hilly. in reply to bengarvey #
Good morning! Yesterday wound up relatively awesome and productive. Waiting for the bus in beautiful weather and hoping for more of the same #
@drawonthewalls Maybe lost a pound of junk but enhanced 2 pounds of muscle? Happened to me my first two weeks of exercise & that's my excuse in reply to drawonthewalls #
@amanda_nan Seriously? How do you even slam into the side of that bar – it's in a row of houses! in reply to amanda_nan #
@iPhillyChitChat Nodding Head is one of my longtime favs in the city. Great food, with plenty of vegetarian choices. in reply to iPhillyChitChat #
@eedawson Sometimes I wonder if they realize they're releasing the widest circulated newspaper in Philly and not their high school gazette. in reply to eedawson #
A guy just got on my bus wearing a vintage 80s Marvel Secret Wars t-shirt. #MakeMineMarvel #
@drawonthewalls Oh, prob not. Me, I've been a schlub since I was a camp counselor and just added half hour cardio/tone, so it was plausible. in reply to drawonthewalls #
@gloriabell It's going sunny and optimistic so far. Wish I had three hours a day for my to-do list! I barely have that to blog and rehearse. in reply to gloriabell #
@mayaREguru Do I get to see you?! My rehearsal for Thursday just got canceled, so it's definitely possible. in reply to mayaREguru #
@paullucci haha, a little bit of a mixed message there… i don't usually associate "ugh" with "rock" ;) in reply to paullucci #
Today's blog post is on the "your camera takes great photos" meme & contains my best shot of Cupid & Psyche from Louvre http://bit.ly/dphNTt #
It's over a month until our housewarming party, but you can visit on 8/22 for my house CONCERT w/ @miekapauley http://bit.ly/mieka1008 #
Super cool booking news is brewing. Not only a house concert w/ @miekapauley, but another Tin Angel show, & maybe an art gallery appearance? #
Not that I endorse revenge-y ways of quitting your job, but this woman delivered the best resignation, EVER: http://bit.ly/aQA4Lc #
@THEkrismohfanz Garbage B-favs: Kick My Ass, 13, Lick the Pavement, Deadwood, Can't Seem, Soldier Thru, Never B Free, Enough, Nobody Can Win in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
@ItStartsWithUs That link is going to achieve escape velocity and make it onto the news tonight – seeing it everywhere! Also: how are you?! in reply to ItStartsWithUs #
@THEkrismohfanz I'm sorry, back the truck up. Touring the world with N'Sync? in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
@armano Seriously, who could predict that resignation via grabbing a beer & exiting a plane via the slide would be owned in less than 24hrs? in reply to armano #
@spillsmusic I think that supposes you like going places. I'm usually miserable when we travel, but I really love playing with stuff. in reply to spillsmusic #
Jiminy Cricket, windows are expensive. #
Which takes great photos – the camera or the photographer? I gave that some thoughti n today's post @ CK: http://bit.ly/dphNTt #
@SJOgborn I caught @patrickbjohnson RTing you – cool fact! Now following to read more of your tweets (and blogging) from here in Philly. #
@THEkrismohfanz WOW. Definitely need to find a time to hear the stories! Love hearing how people find their way into opportunities like that in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
@patrickbjohnson Oh, don't worry, I steal people from you all the time ;) in reply to patrickbjohnson #
@Bcrip Hey, haven't chatted much with you in the past few months. Hope all is well! Any big derby events I should pencil into my calendar? #
@mymelisma I haven't tweeted much to you lately. Is all well? Doing any singing? Planning to go to the Philly SMD on 8/25? #
@mpomy I cannot believe there's not more public outcry about the battle against Net Neutrality. It's going to hurt everyone. I called my rep in reply to mpomy #
If your doctor claims they have no openings for 2+ months, talk to your insurer. In many cases, that violates their contract! Trust me. #
@lisamay77 Many insurers have wait-time guidelines in their provider contracts to balance patient load. Not something you'd know as a member in reply to lisamay77 #
After enthusing w/ @THEkrismohfanz about Garbage I am deep into their b-sides on my ride home. All-time fav? Maybe Soldier Through This. in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
@deestbie as an only child I have panic attacks about how I'm supposed to be the keeper of our tree. Don't even know all the great-aunts! in reply to deestbie #
@amanda_nan oh my. You're in for an exciting few months. in reply to amanda_nan #
@shunmahoney @socialbrown RT @shannonpaul: "I'm working out again & my HC costs went down." New #BCBSM campaign: http://shar.es/0mDZR #
@Cecilyk Wow, Today Show and @PioneerWoman (who I've read FOREVER) in on day. Maybe I *should* have come with you to be your assistant :) in reply to Cecilyk #
Trying to get the studio in shape to shoot some video of tonight's Arcati Crisis rehearsal. #
Totally shredded from our Arcati Crisis rehearsal. We work a lot harder with the video camera on us. Also, a new arrangement to learn. Yikes #
A reminder to Philly peeps who haven't seen me play in a while: having a house concert on 8/22 w/@miekapauley – http://bit.ly/mieka1008 #
That will be super-intimate, solo, acoustic, newer songs. Also, playing in Center City twice in September, plus @filmstarband dates TBA! #
First I rehearse. And then I edit videos. And then I write a blog. And then I sleep. And then I give our roofer instructions. And so on. #
TechCrunch dissects whiteboard resignation hoax RT @andCKsays: Confirmed: HOPA Dry Erase Girl a Hoax, Identity Revealed http://bit.ly/bZS8NK #
Despite being intellectually interested in a new day, my body feels wiped. Must find the awesome in the exhaustion to fuel work & rehearsal. #
@JettSuperior I know you are a vision of timeless perfection, but that tweet made ME feel old! in reply to JettSuperior #
@amanda_nan You know what helps with that? Roofers. in reply to amanda_nan #
@pauldateh oh no! Happened to me earlier this year. WP has a great community of blogs w/good advice; search based on your version/error. in reply to pauldateh #
@podcaststeve ooo, steve, can you please RT with the link to that article? Looks like it was cut off, but I'd really like to read it. in reply to podcaststeve #
El stopped to repair an A/C problem? Seems like more than a few-minute fix. Happily, came just two stops before I'd lose 'net to the tunnel. #
@bengarvey Ahh, joys of editing on the El. in reply to bengarvey #
@RobIsEvil We are IN LOVE with this guy so far – prompt, communicative, funny. Will DM you the info. in reply to RobIsEvil #
Some days you are my only contact with the world at large, and I truly love you for it. Thank you for being one of my very best friends. #
@jptoto Great to (finally?) see you this weekend while loitering w/@brimil at the Piazza. Looking forward to another awesome BarCamp ;) #
@jptoto Definitely want to talk to you about volunteering, maybe sponsoring as an individual (would love to be on that awesome t-shirt :) in reply to jptoto #
My often-requested cover of Madonna's "Like a Virgin," video'd for the very first time: http://bit.ly/dccrM7 #
@THEkrismohfanz haha, no pressure or anything. I don't know that anyone who has actually TOUCHED Madonna has heard it before. in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
@THEkrismohfanz Thank you for sharing it. It means a lot to me that you enjoyed it – that cover has been with me for a long time! in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
Wave goodbye to my signature curls! At noon they are going on hiatus for a slicker look http://twitpic.com/2dpu3p My next blog has a preview #
@amanda_nan I'm going back to the wedding look AKA Jensen Ackles from Supernatural. You are going to swoon at my handsomeness. in reply to amanda_nan #
@thatdrew It's funny, all the #bdc folks have only known me w/curls, because I just grew them out when I met y'all. I do it every other year in reply to thatdrew #
@Not_Pele That is completely unfair. Are you trying to give me a panic attack? You know how I am about the curls, but they are a hot mess. in reply to Not_Pele #
@KaraLaFleur Please, please, please @ or DM me with show details, I don't want to miss it! in reply to KaraLaFleur #
Look, I know you are all dedicated curls fans, but I am fixated on the first photo in http://bit.ly/b9uOM4 – I love that version of me! #
If you have a few thousand dollars to spare I can save some curls and you can buy a LifeGem diamond made out of them ;) http://lifegem.com #
@KaraLaFleur Noted! We're out of town on Friday, but I can definitely visit over the course of the run. in reply to KaraLaFleur #
24,509 words left to blog before I hit a million. I can blog 24,509 words in 15 days, but can I do it without being an overbearing bore? #
PS: Is it possible for any human being to be more spectacularly, unassumingly beautiful than my wife in the 2nd photo? http://bit.ly/b9uOM4 #
@paullucci Paul, it's going to be traumatizing for me, too ;) But the curls are only fun when they aren't permanent. I have to WANT them. in reply to paullucci #
@iWIC3 I actually hadn't seen it all this time and noticed it the other night while looking for Cupid for the prior post. I was like "WHOA!" in reply to iWIC3 #
@paullucci Haha, there will definitely be an after picture! I just have to close my eyes when she approaches with the scissors ;) in reply to paullucci #
@tangofoxtrot Touché. Nor would I want them to ;) in reply to tangofoxtrot #
@eddidit See, you totally get it. The curls can sometimes be tamed, but can never be controlled. in reply to eddidit #
I think today is the third strike against Falafel Factory. Amazing service, but sandwiches are too dry & everything has way too much garlic. #
Three band rehearsals in four days is a little much. I mean, I love it. But it's a little much. #
@podcaststeve That is by far the best intern-related SM post I've read. Most of them are by assholes who don't understand how to use interns in reply to podcaststeve #
@THEkrismohfanz Hmm, I don't know that one. Must seek it out. in reply to THEkrismohfanz #
@paullucci Good morning! in reply to paullucci #
@iFreddie how are you? I haven't had the chance to talk much with you, lately in reply to iFreddie #
Out of corner of my eye I noticed the prim woman next to me on the El reading a passage including the words "the monstrous size of his dick" #
As much as I claim to hate the El, my commute is really the most productive and entertaining portion of my day. #
@StephieMay Dude I hear you. I think I may have exhibited some heretofore unknown telekinesis to get to the bus, 'cuz my legs aren't working in reply to StephieMay #
@marykateruf We used to have a make-your-own chai station back here… perhaps time for it to return @melgriener in reply to marykateruf #
@iFreddie haha, the curls were banished yesterday! Going for a sleeker look this fall. Super busy, rehearsing w/2 bands plus my solo stuff! in reply to iFreddie #
@PAWeissenstein Good morning! I hope you are well. Between being tired & the gray clouds rolling in, today will be a bit of a challenge here in reply to PAWeissenstein #

@ANewBandADay I believe I caused your stumble, as I saw both @theshondes and PostPost on a bill with @filmstarband a few months ago :) in reply to ANewBandADay #
@ANewBandADay Also, try to find a live cut from them on YouTube (possibly Miami?), because in concert they were much fiercer than the record in reply to ANewBandADay #
I've had @miekapauley's Colossal on endless loop on my iPod this week. http://bit.ly/bF1arG – def hoping to hear it in our living room :) #
My fav @theshondes song, "Miami," live from SxSW: http://bit.ly/cZaxiL cc: @anewbandaday #

@amanda_nan This totally made my day. in reply to amanda_nan #
I've noticed that very attractive people like my new haircut the most. I feel like I'm being inducted into The Very Attractive Society (VAS) #
@RobIsEvil She also has a "homemade soup Thursday" her team takes turns making, currently on hiatus for summer. in reply to RobIsEvil #
@theoreticalgirl They're hoping the act of writing will influence the collective unconscious and it will turn into a blog mention, somewhere in reply to theoreticalgirl #
@JettSuperior You should make up little assignments for them and pass them out to the front of the car queue when you arrive. in reply to JettSuperior #
@amanda_nan because my phone's camera will not do my handsomeness justice. I think I'm married to a photographer? Maybe you should ask her;) in reply to amanda_nan #
Dude. Neighbors that say hi, introduce themselves, and shake yor hand. Suburbs are weird. #
This must be the best window guy in the Philly 5-county area. Even I am overwhelmed. cc @melgreiner #
Good morning! Excited to wrap up work projects & head to NJ to see bro in Tick Tick Boom! Coverage here: http://bit.ly/cd6ZNj #
Amazing that 2 shows after closing his last HS musical bro is in a 3-person Larson show along w/a recent broadway player (Malcolm Morano). #
@iFreddie A few fun gigs on the horizon! Playing a house concert w/@miekapauley, check out her (free) new EP, it's awesome. in reply to iFreddie #
In personal stage news, I can announce the date of our next Tin Angel gig on Monday. And don't forget, playing a solo house concert on 8/22! #
I'm the subject of this post! RT @sjogborn The Perfect Twitter Intro: Someone has me rethinking how I introduce myself http://bit.ly/bvsOqb #
Because I really liked @sjogborn's tweets I made an effort to say hi so she'd notice me & know why I followed. Looks like it worked :) #
@PRDivaRach Funny you found @sjogborn & her post via @CubanaLaf as I'm a longtime follower & fan (& new customer) of hers. Good to meet you! in reply to PRDivaRach #
@PRDivaRach I used to spend X-Mas every year in Ft. Lauderdale w/my grandma. Interesting area to do comm in; a blend of many ages & cultures in reply to PRDivaRach #
Fine Philly folks: Care for a Sunday night of music? I play a house concert on 8/22 w/@miekapauley; reserve for free http://bit.ly/mieka1008 #
@PRDivaRach Have you checked out the new @Radian6 community offering? I haven't looked, since now I'm a subscriber at our office. in reply to PRDivaRach #
@PRDivaRach I'd love to hear more about the Twitter community down there. In Philly it's EXTREMELY active; lots of folks know each other IRL in reply to PRDivaRach #
@PRDivaRach I love that every time we have a @Radian6 phone mtg by the end of the call I am following new ppl (or talking to ppl I follow). in reply to PRDivaRach #
Our lunch table split boys v. girls, hs-style. Good thing I am a secret football fanatic, or else i'd be lost down here. #
At a loss for words for brother in Tick Tick Boom. The trio of cast was incredible, and his acting floored me. Crying throughout. #
A long day of driving and tidying now moves on to the writing phase. #
There are, without exaggeration, 29 birds currently hunting and pecking in our front lawn, compared to 0 in our neighbors'. Need to monetize #
