My six-month-old continues his homage to Brian Eno: https://t.co/mI5YjTDjB9

@wcraghead one thing I think the Internet has done is destroy the time before making and sharing — some good, some bad to that

@wcraghead there’s a part in Brian Eno’s diary where he talks about the best art happening when you’re not trying to make Art (will find it)

RT @sankles: This is what it’s like to write a second album. http://t.co/yi29yOmuDv #showyourwork

Make *bad* art: http://t.co/RRYIeIbkm2

You can learn a lot from good art, and you can learn a lot from bad art, but mediocre art has very little to teach you.

@claytoncubitt something also along those lines: you can learn from good art or bad art, but mediocre art has almost nothing to teach you

@claytoncubitt now, as ever, is a terrible time to be mediocre

RT @claytoncubitt: The Internet thrives on really, really smart stuff, or really, really dumb stuff. The middle not so much.

“Success.” #krazykat http://t.co/mB0fpZB9LQ

@jndevereux here comes my Chinese rug!

It’s hard to do a song about success that doesn’t sound like bragging or whining… (“mo’ money mo’ problems”)

“Wish You Were Here” is a song about success, too: http://t.co/zzKyVgKPx0

“Little Room” is the best song about success that I can think of. Any others? http://t.co/5De7nvEbi9

“when you’re in the bigger room / you might not know what to do / you might have to think of /how you got started…” http://t.co/5De7nvEbi9

@mattthomas I used to shoot pool in my dad’s basement while playing the first album on vinyl. it was awesome.

@inthefade oh! One more thing — you’ll like this quote: http://t.co/lL30VwGvI3

@inthefade and I thought, “well, this is how ridiculous it’s become”

They portray him as some neutered fool, but you know the “they put me behind a desk” guy probably has the best life of anyone in the movies.

RT @mattthomas: @austinkleon Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you. https://t.co/U83szjOUrY

@nczeitgeist you mean, The Big Lebowksi? (”oh, I can get you a toe”)

Gonna recut FLIGHT so it’s just the plane crash followed by Denzel celebrating by snorting cocaine with a naked chick in a hotel room.

RT @jndevereux: Bon Scott’s vest tho. http://t.co/Sicx5SIg1k

@meaghano it’s kind of amazing how a 74-year-old woman can make me so angry

There are many different kinds of reading. One, done with a pencil in hand, can for me be more exciting and immersive than writing.

Um, no. https://t.co/yXOh8upniq
