Comedian Andy Milonakis’ original track Let Me Twitter Dat has been given a professional electronic makeover with the new remix from Rusko. Judging by Rusko’s official Twitter account, the track was whipped up over this last weekend, and was hyped on several occasions through the micro-blogging service.
The track is featured on Rusko’s Myspace, but it looks like the UK dubstep artist is adopting the Twitter platform to inform fans on upcoming tracks. Many artists are using Twitter to keep fans updated, and it’s possible that the greater pace of the platform puts pressure on artists to release songs as soon as they are finished. Besides the obvious Britney Spears, Sonic Youth and Trent Reznor, do you know of any other musicians or bands that use Twitter? Which do you follow? Do they release new songs frequently?

Most pop songs are written with the exact same chord progression; this is not a secret. It is the combination of the songwriter’s original melody and lyrics that will make a hit song. However, it is funny to actually hear a number of different songs all run into each other without ever changing the instrumentals. This is exactly what Australian comedy group, Axis of Awesome, has done. It’s been favorite song for them to do live, but they have gone a step further by recording the medley and making a collage to go along with it. Enjoy and have a laugh… or realize that musicians need to be more creative.
We already reported on Trent Reznor’s joke for April Fools’ Day, but other artists have gotten into the act, as well.
Most prominent among them is Coldplay, who posted on their site that they would record their next album in zero gravity aboard a Boeing 727. Brian Eno would help them to record the album on a 1969 analog cassette player, while the band would wear cosmonaut suits. Chris Martin said that the band had “been searching for the right environment to record the perfect snare drum sound for many years now,” and that zero gravity might just be the place.
The Cathedral Church of St. John the Divine in Manhattan will host a special event this Saturday, “Music in Desperate Times: Remembering the Women’s Orchestra at Birkenau.” The church was chosen because its bishop spoke out against the persecution of European Jews in 1933, years before World War II even started.
The Women’s Orchestra was organized at the Birkenau concentration camp, which was a part of the Auschwitz complex. It was led by Gustav Mahler’s niece, Alma Rose, who chose the members of her orchestra from among the camp’s new arrivals who arrived with musical instruments. She managed to save the life of every member of the orchestra of 50 women except her own.
A study in the journal Qualitative Sociology found that people who like opera, like it the first hear it and not because their tastes change over time. The study, conducted by Claudio Benzecry, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Connecticut, focused on middle-class, upper floor or standing room opera-goers in Buenos Aires from 2002 to 2005. The study says that most of the fans experienced an intense feeling of attraction to opera when they first attended an opera. The feeling had enduring physical effects, which Benzecry claims makes it not unlike love at first sight.
