Dispatch from le Blog Optimiste

Bit and pieces ce soir.

• Since I started tweeting my daily music intake, I’ve wanted an iPhone app that would simply transmit song and band information directly from the iPod to Twitter. I’ve found one in iShareTunes. Maybe Blip.fm will come out with something similar, so I can start having fun and playing DJ like MPomy.

• A tweet from David Waldman (@KagroX) tonight:

Whatever you’re thinking of tweeting is probably bullshit anyway.

• Via Le Monde‘s blog, “Bonne Nouvelle” (le blog optimiste):

Exit le cliché du pilleur qui ne file pas un rond aux artistes. En réalité, ceux qui téléchargent le plus de musique illégalement dépensent en moyenne deux fois plus en achats de musique, que ceux qui ne passent jamais par le peer to peer.

• Metro shuffle, Primus edition: ‘Jerry was a Race car Driver,’ followed by ‘Pudding Time.’ Primus isn’t a band I listen to regularly, but every so often their music seriously hits the spot.
