What is Twitter? Find out by following your favorite people. And by reading these Twitter accounts.

1. Trent Reznor. It's really him, and posts about fiddling around with his synthesizers, his tour, the NIN/JA collaboration and more. twitter.com/trent_reznor Check it as he chats with @TheDandyWarhols, @davenavarro6767 and @amandapalmer ... via Twitter. Yes, I'm serious.

2. Amanda Palmer. Lead singer of The Dresden Dolls, posting pics, webcasts, Twitter interviews, free concert tickets and updates from the road. This is how a band should use Twitter. twitter.com/AmandaPalmer

3. Weird Al Yankovic. Using Twitter updates like those old-school Burma-Shave ads? Yes, that's funny. twitter.com/AlYankovic

4. Courtney Love. God, this woman is verbose. She Tweets about those who have done her wrong, rip-offs, her dead husband, art shows and other rockers. She also now owns the dubious title of first Twitter celeb to be sued for libel/slander. Congrats! twitter.com/CourtneyLover79

5. All Songs Considered. This is the Twitter account for the online and on-air radio show from National Public Radio. Copious Tweets on South by Southwest, new music and more. twitter.com/AllSongs

6. Tom Waits. A man of few words, he Tweets on the inauguration, his GQ spread, his videos ... and random things like "All the donuts have names that sound like prostitutes." *sigh* I love you, Tom. twitter.com/TomWaits

7. Tina Fey. One-liners. Nearly. Every. Single. Day. "Are Eggrolls just Chinese Hotpockets?"
twitter.com/TinyFey

8. Katy Perry. Don't care for her music, but she's pretty darn funny when it comes to insight regarding sitting in a martini glass full of Skittles. twitter.com/KatyPerry

9. Perez Hilton. The gossip monger generally isn't my idea of interesting. Cut his verbage to 140 characters or less and ... voila! Quirky charm. twitter.com/PerezHilton

10. Tony Hawk. The pro skater Tweets about his kids, his radio show, his travels, his eats ... and a bluntside around the corner. ... and how the snow storms in the 405 (OKC) made him late to an interview. We heart you, too, Tony! twitter.com/TonyHawk

Annnnd: Extra: Christopher Walken. I have no idea if this is the real deal. It's probably not. It's one of those delicious innerweb mysteries. Just read it. You'll laugh. I promise. twitter.com/CWalken (For some reason, his account has been suspended. I hope it's back up soon!)

Barrelhouse Beat

Barrelhouse: A colloquialism describing the low saloons at the turn of the century (19th) that served whiskey straight out of the barrel. It's also a reference to the type of music played in those venues. Ex: Barrelhouse music.

Beat: The time or timing. Ex: The band played with a solid beat. Also used as a term describing a reporters specific area of expertise. Ex: The music beat.

About me: I'm Okie born and raised, and have lived all over the state: Oklahoma City, Enid, Moore, Norman, Edmond and Tulsa. I am a music geek, writer, graphic designer and amateur photographer and videographer who's followed the Tulsa and regional music scene since I moved to Green Country more than 10 years ago. I've been enmeshed in Tulsa's varied and vibrant musical night life, what some of us affectionately call a modernized throwback to the Barrelhouse scene, since that time. I fell in love with it. I fell hard.
