TWITSTOCK! | Day One

Aug 24, 2009, 6:45am The Vinyl District

If the Woodstock generation can be exemplified by one humongous, sprawling multi-day event, the Twitter generation in contrast bathes not in mud (or bud)—but in brevity. Twittering's a succinct, uniquely solo endeavor, promulgated in office cubicles, Blackberries, and personal laptops. But a spirit of community does indeed exist among the pixelated 140 character bursts of info from a myriad of locations. It's tuned in, turned on, and dropping recommendations for this or that track, LP, or band. Its users point the way toward other Twitterers and other blogs via '#FollowFridays' and '#MusicMondays' — and community's born, [...]

Puce Moment

Feb 7, 2007, 12:41am WFMU's Beware of the Blog

As my esteemed collegue Mike Lupica noted on the blog earlier, the advent of Fantoma DVD's Volume One of the Films of Kenneth Anger is certainly reason to call the cows in.
