Hey guys & gals,

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted on here so I figured I’d get back in the saddle by posting about one of my favorite things, Twitter.

With Twitter slowly dipping into the mainstream, it’s no surprise to see so many musicians and entertainment professionals hopping on the bandwagon. As with any Pitchfork article/review, take what they’re saying with a grain of salt.
