Tweet Nothings, feat. Alex Kapranos, The Vaselines, Yahweh

Our Twitter stalking column (now shamelessly ripped off by The Guardian) returns, and this time there's environmental rightousness, studio-based poetry and swine flu. Damned swine flu.


Amy MacDonald plays the eco warrior card...
@AmyMacdonald1: i'm watching sky news. I'm absolutely horrified at what they do to the dolphins in Japan. It's barbaric.

While Camera Obscura reveal the dangers of a green lifestyle...
@camera_obscura_: Went to the bottle bank and got chased by nesting wasps. And they say recycling makes you feel better about yourself.

Franz Ferdinand singer (if indeed it is he) takes the whole Twitter brevity ethos to heart...
@alkapranos: A gig. That'll do.

Remember Remember pray for some cross pollination of the musical kind...
@Rmmbr_Rmmbr: I heard that Utah Saints chose their name as they wanted to be close to U2 in the CD racks...here's hoping some R.E.M. fans'll be as dumb

Could The Vaselines be any more indie?
@the_vaselines: We mixed two new Vaselines songs with Norman Blake from Teenage Fanclub last night then listened to Orange Juice on repeat. Blue Boy!

Frightened Rabbit haven't forgotten how to be modest in their pursuit of world domination...
@FRabbits: Thanks to all who were at QH on Tues night. You humbled us beyond words!!!

No such deference from We Are The Physics...
@wearethephysics: Studio today. Recording. It'll be the best song ever. Might not finish it though because it'll make your record collection redundant.

Beerjacket makes album recording sound like a pregnant woman's water breaking...
@Beerjacket: Oh my goodness, I think there's going to be another Beerjacket album really soon. Why wait? The songs are coming really fast. Demoing now.

Probably best that Yahweh cancelled last week's gig. Get well soon...
@yahwehtheband: I have swine flu. it's shite.

How to Swim demand answers on postcards. Or in tweets...
@howtoswim: When to launch a record? How long to sit on it before launching it? How quick is too quick? How near to Xmas is too near to Xmas? ...phew.

And finally, The Gothenburg Address add some poetry to geeky studio techniques...
@gothenaddy: Putting on layers like its wintertime ..
