Past Week at Twitter.com/Disquiet

/ By Marc Weidenbaum
  • Haven't watched Boss yet, but just noticed Brian Reitzel does the music. Must check it out. #
  • Convinced that due to its digital texture & similar arrangement with original, the Zep cover in Dragon Tattoo is as much a remix as a cover. #
  • Instagr/am/bient update: Already have 4 of what's looking like 25 entries. Beautiful stuff so far. Picturesque, you might say. #
  • Really confused by the 20k song limit in Google Music. #
  • 7:30pm, people. Looking forward to this. RT @UnsilentTweet: Tomorrow night, San Francisco! http://t.co/Qrxv7juq #
  • Witnessing far more tablet-reading in public. The fetish has thankfully given way to practical use. #
  • [email protected] @telstarlogistic @inceptiontheapp There should be a Buddha Machine of scifi spaceship HVAC/engine drones. in reply to dizzybanjo #
  • More to my taste. Thanks. RT @TelstarLogistic: Or, if you prefer to idle with the original Enterprise: http://t.co/4emW5Dji #
  • "For Marc: The Next Generation's Enterprise engine noise, looped for 24 hours. http://t.co/UGFczlmq" #EmailOfTheDay #

  • Spaghetti Eastern: great footage by @mrbiggsdotcom of a Dec 3 synth meet-up in Philadelphia: http://t.co/KOSafBPr #
  • Apple outdoes Spinal Tap: its volume goes to 16. Bonus tip to my @TheAtlantic OS X sound design piece: http://t.co/zTAfTYJY Thanks, @linmu. #
  • Mexican-American banda group from LA covering "Just Can't Get Enough" is most New Orleans experience I have had since leaving NOLA in 2003. #
  • Earplug run before the punk-banda concert. And some pupusas. #
  • I have five more @ThisIsMyJam beta invites. You'll need either a Twitter or Facebook account if you want one. Hit me up. #
  • A pleasure. You are king of the "colliding banter" genre. RT @alln4tural: more than a handful of listens — must be a @disquiet post. #
  • Even if its podcast wasn't great @thetheradius worth observing for how it conducts itself: advance notice, elegant design, clear description #
  • Judging by poor showing by political bloggers I follow, presidential primary has been an effective tool to keep SOPA coverage at a minimum. #
  • So, #SOPA cures issue of surfing online being "offensive" by drastically reducing attraction of surfing in the first place. #
  • Very confused there's a hearing about Portuguese soup. Talk about congressional pork. #
  • If @time were a music magazine, the waveform would be the person of the year. #
  • 1954 quote from obit: “It has to be a combination of science and showmanship. If there’s a sunrise, we furnish appropriate sunrise music”#

  • I got a Macbook Air, quietest computer I've used. I tried to make it quieter. Then I wrote about it for @theatlantic: http://t.co/FoZ4E23q #
  • Playing with (free) generative iOS app #MonolithLoop before bed. #
  • Please consider supporting the great (largely electronic) arts fest @communikey in Boulder: http://t.co/236yPSd3 Tons of cool pledge prizes. #
  • Says something about iTunes file management that subculture of intra-app file-sharing is needed. Anyhow http://t.co/Bcn5QttW looks promising #
  • Four new/reworked DJ Krush tracks are streaming at the @blasthaus_ site, http://t.co/uOQ7x71C. #
  • Fairey fails Turing test, actually an algorithm. RT @Shocklee: Shepard Fairey based TIME cover on LA Weekly photograph: http://t.co/vCmPv6gE #
  • The mark of a good bbq place may be that it's proud enough of its food not to feel required to play the blues. #
  • It's about gadget, not warez, apparently. And, yes, that's #stupid @mclow @GlennF What about using a voice recorder app on a phone? #
  • Pulled over for using phone while driving. But it was voice recorder. Cop said, "You are correct, you know the law." Let me go. #
  • Major thanks to http://t.co/8YOl6xOA, developer of my new WordPress theme, a thorough refinement of site's longstanding design #

  • All outta @ThisIsMyJam invites. #
  • OK, http://t.co/xdF6qCg1's new theme has launched. Some work ahead, but it's live. I feel like I have a brand new super cool bicycle. #
  • When http://t.co/xdF6qCg1's 3.0 theme goes live, I'd appreciate folks letting me know what's broken. Inevitably there will be some cleanup. #
  • I have 5 @ThisIsMyJam beta invites. If you want one (you need either Twitter or Facebook to sign up), lemme know. #
  • Found myself looking for volume button on microwave to lower sound of reheating Sichuan pork dish. #
  • Disquiet 3.0 is still WP. New theme improving on longstanding design. RT @jackshay: @disquiet what made you want to change from WordPress? #
  • http://t.co/xdF6qCg1 1.0 was 1996-2007, when it switched from hand-coded HTML to WordPress (Disquiet 2.0). Stripped-down Disquiet 3.0 soon. #
  • Shift from http://t.co/xdF6qCg1 2.0 (2007-present) underway. May be some peculiar post formats for a little while. Just part of transition. #
  • Working backward, adding pre-web stuff to Disquiet, someday I'll get to my King Crimson Three of a Perfect Pair high-school newspaper review #
  • Major progress on design of http://t.co/xdF6qCg1 3.0. It essentially looks the same, just cleaner/simpler. Smoother loading. #
  • Parenthood Panopticon: keeping ear and eye on your baby while being, yourself, watched by the eyes of dolls and others toys. #

  • [email protected] How about minus the waveform, just an elegant, easy-to-embed HTML5 audio player. The ones I've tried are all alpha. in reply to tones #
  • Really wish there were an open-source HTML5 audio embeddable player half as elegant as the @soundcloud one. #
  • Apparently I wandered into Facebook http://t.co/eiEUpmDj #
  • The Sims was fun. Minecraft is a lot of fun. Where is the game where you just make a single fat pixel? #
  • At 15 months, my kid says many specific words. What's confusing is these include "buh" (book), "boh" (bowl), "bah" (ball) & "bih" (bird). #
  • Nice way to start the day: news of a new, self-released Funki Porcini album: http://t.co/AcelkD1w #
  • "'Drive' is the year’s best long-form music video. That score! Ambient murder-drone and wineglass-rim whine." That's @pappademas in @nytimes #
  • We're now getting started on Stage 2 of Instagr/am/bient: images have been distributed to musicians. Tracks due back by Christmas Eve. #

  • The SSD effect: annoyed by wife's laptop's hard drive and fan. #
  • Playing my kid the Schoolhouse Rock song about how bills get made. It was a lot more fun before, well, before I knew anything. #
  • You're right. I'd respond more but I try not to tweet about Twitter. #echo RT @GlennF: Twitter is the string and it thinks it’s the tin can. #
