Music fans know that Twitter is for more than just telling your friends where you’re sitting in Van Pelt. Some choice artists, websites, magazines and labels have Twitter accounts. Check out our list of Twitter users so you can get news, downloads and unparalleled looks into the lives of some of your favorite stars.
@johncmayer Yes, he’s a walking cliché. And his tweets rarely have to do with music. But they are enjoyable. Sample tweet: Sitting in a restroom stall. There is a man in the stall beside me. We’re both waiting for the other to leave. Entering minute 12.
@pitchforkmedia For any and all indie music news, Pitchfork is your go-to. They include links to stories and sometimes even free downloads. Can’t go wrong there! Sample tweet: New Animal Collective video for “In the Flowers.” Is it trippy? Do you even have to ask?
@questlove With upwards of 11,000 tweets to date, Questlove of the Roots is one of Twitter’s most prolific users. He brings you updates from Late Night With Jimmy Fallon... and his irreverent exploits. Sample tweet: When the white collar side overtakes the rock star side at work: must take mandatory HR sensitivity course at 9am. (!#@$#%$@)
@iamdiddy You can’t talk Twitter without talking Diddy. Follow him and you will soon learn of his every music and business venture, as well as develop an appreciation for the phrase “LOCK IN!” Sample tweet: NYC LOCK IN!! Dirty Money is taking over 106 & Park! Tomorrow!! Lets Go Badboy/Interscope!!
@ladygaga Follow Lady GaGa on Twitter to penetrate the singer’s strange exterior and understand her… somewhat. Plus, lots of updates on her crazy fashion collaborations. Sample tweet: Going out in nyc tonight, to drink until I fall. First ten to recognize its me, get seats at MONSTERBALL. Xxgagamonster
@beatlestweets Love the Beatles? Beatles Trivia will hook you up with trivia, history and more. Sample tweet: This day in 1963, Paul caught the flu. The British press and TV reported on his condition in hour-by-hour progress reports.
@taylorswift13 She’s just so cute. Read her tweets for (mostly) her feelings, but also some music picks and appearances. Sample tweet: SNL is about to happen. Wow. I’m excited. And happy. And nervous. And excited. Watch?
