Don’t automate your Twitter
So, I posted a tweet today about how disgusted I am that I know who Adam Lambert is. (I have a deep and abiding hatred of American Idol.) A half hour later? @lambertfans is following @clubjade. Uh, no.

(My father is not a music person. I think he owned two [...]

She’s “like” a performer
So I was listening to the local cheesy pop station on the way to work last night (I’m sick of all my CDs) and Britney Spears’ ‘Circus’ came on. And listening to the lyrics, I realized how sad is it that she’s having to sing stuff about ‘cracking the whip’ that when she’s very much [...]
