Twitter | The Decibel Tolls

Remember the infamous Ted Stevens series of tubes speech during his testimony on net neutrality? Still makes me lawl.

Anyway, you may have noticed with the redesign (The Decibel Tolls v3.0, d00dz) that the blog is now all up on the social networks. Those corporate logos on the sidebar will whisk you away to a myriad of ways to contact us.

Twitter – You’ve GOT to follow us on Twitter, if for no other reason than Kenny Bloggins likes to update this under the influence (then will subsequently try to delete all tweets the next morning). Constant flow of entertainment and dialogue. Get on it!
FaCeBoOk Fan Page – Technically there’s no point in you becoming a”fan” of the blog’s page, other than showing your pride and stroking our egos
Last.FM Group – The haters who write and read this blog get together and compare notes. At least one member of this group is a Mike Jones fan. You can’t hide what you like on Last.fm

Hope to see you all on TEH INTARWUBZ. Still not a dump truck!

Growing up, Smashing Pumpkins were my favorite band. Billy never seemed like a rock star – he rocked a schoolboy haircut and donned tacky polyester shirts and corduroy pants. He was totally rad. Then sometime in the latter ’90s, Corgan came back from outer space with a shiny head, ghoulish veneer, black tunic, and moon boots; his ability to write music unfortunately decimated upon entering the chrono-synclastic infundibulum. It was weird. Even weirder, he turned one of the best mainstream rock bands of recent memory into a really sad joke, and no one else can be blamed but Corgan himself. Hence, he’s gotsta get a satirical Twitter. However, what started out as pure entertainment (with a slight bit of commentary, of course) took off and turned into something truly interesting.
