I have a ‘real blog’ now, at Slate’s business site, The Big Money. It’s about Twitter, it’s called Re: Tweet, and it lives here. We are currently experiencing what is commonly referred to as a ‘soft launch.’ Look for more fanfare on Monday. Today I wrote two pieces, one on Virgin America’s tweet-baiting tactics here and one about Russian president...

loaded phil spector references on wavves record →
PRR beat me to it, duh. After listening to the new Wavves album twice (OK, 3 times) yesterday, I was gonna tweet/tumbl something like “Got it - this is what Phil Spector hears while he laughs himself to sleep in solitary confinement.”  Also, I listened to the new Wavves album four times yesterday. And this song five times today.

– I basically wanted to reprint this beautiful bit from “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” probably my favorite poem ever, because of the bit about ices. Eliot predicted icing, or something. I don’t even know.

Funny people: come up with something for me.
In a few weeks, I’m going to start writing a real Web Log for a business Web Site (which in turn is appropriately tied to ‘old media’, duh). It’s going to be all about Twitter - business up top, but plenty of culture and fun thrown in. I am very excited about it. When I was first approached about it, the blog was going to be called something very clever, but also pretty...
