I've been starting to use Twitter more - not for broadcasting my everyday habits to the world, but for following interesting people. The large majority of those people are musicians. Sure, Shaq is there, but some of the most exciting posts come from the likes of Saul Williams, Talib Kweli, Diplo, etc.
Above any other, though, my favorite musician on Twitter is Mike Skinner, better known as The Streets. His updates are funny and enlightening, and more often than not include a new song, or pictures of him working in studio. It's a fascinating peek at the production cycle of a song in its barest form.
Also, he's in the UK, so he's always up before me. I could, if I wanted, know what Mike Skinner was doing every day before I knew what I was doing. Weird.
But enough about Twitter. A little bit more about Skinner/Streets. The songs he's been dropping on Twitter have been pretty great. I posted about a couple of my favorites a couple weeks ago, but recently he's dropped another gem, "Where My Heart Has Been". It has an infectious hook, a solidly standard beat, and some great verses from Skinner. Love what he's doing. Hope you like it too!
Also, another twitter track from Skinner. Sounds like maybe the same dude on the hook?
