The Flaming Lips celebrate half a million followers, Seal offer a travelogue, The Kooks tweet from twitter HQ, Gene Simmons goes bananas, and heaps more.

Here’s a quick look around at what’s going on in musicians’ world of twitter today.

  • Megan Washington celebrates her snazzy new APRA Award (and looks rather glamorous in the process).
  • Psych nutters The Flaming Lips celebrate half a million followers by posting an iPhone screenshot of a press photo of Wayne Coyne. Because that’s what Coyne does. Post odd photos.
  • OFWGKTA kingpin Tyler The Creator does a monster blog update, including snaps from when he broke his foot onstage. Hardcore.
  • It gets even more meta, UK act The Kooks tweet from twitter HQ.
  • Hey, check it out. Taylor Dayne not only has a twitter but she has a new single out.
  • KISS mouthpiece Gene Simmons is going on a minute-by-minute tweeting bending, mostly about family stuff.
  • Globally-aware troubadour Old Man River reminds us that, yeah, Japan isn’t all fixed now.
  • Psych jam band My Morning Jacket plug their efforts on the new Buddy Holly tribute album Rave On.
  • Happy Birthday, Rebecca Black. She’s now FOURTEEN years old. Now.
  • Soul star Seal posts up a stream of personal pics from a recent show in Lithuania.

VIDEO: Check out our chat with The Kooks below.
