TwitBits: Sia, Bloody Beetroots, Blink-182, Vanilla Ice And More

Sia confirms her break, Bloody Beetroots link up a remix, Blink-182 get sick of Adele, Vanilla Ice assembles the ninjas and heaps more.

Here’s a quick look at what’s going on in the musical life of twitter.

  • Songwriter and gadabout Sia confirms that she and Mr Boop (aka JD Samson of Le Tigre) broke up a while back.
  • Black Eyed Peas ringleader Will.I.Am gives a tweet out to work with Rick Ross. Shouldn’t he be able to get Rick’s phone number?
  • Viral video superstars OK Go! post out a live video for the fans. Not as inventive as their clips, but that’s a high bar.
  • Antipodean Bieber Cody Simpson tweets “red, white and blue” thrice. Either he has a new single or he just arrived back in the States.
  • Dancefloor-fillers Bloody Beetroots link up a remix on Soundcloud of S.A.L.M.’s ‘Versailles No Bara’.
  • The uncle of Melbourne’s rock scene Dave Graney has been caught up in the Chilean volcanic ash airport shut-downs.
  • It’s a legendary drummer love-in. Josh Freese (A Perfect Circle, Vandals, Devo et al) and Dave Lombardo (Slayer) are now “text buddies”.
  • The wife of Blink 182’s Mark Hoppus is punishing him with Adele’s album.
  • Feel like being an Ice Ninja? Then retweet Vanilla Ice’s fanclub request.
  • Devonte Hynes (aka Lightspeed Champion aka Blood Orange) is a man with broad tastes, streaming the Tonys and the NBA Championships at the same time.

VIDEO: Check out our chat with Dave Graney below.
