Dirty Projectors news via Twitter

Monday, January 16th, 2012

Useful Chamber has joined Twitter to bring you more Dirty Projectors news, more quickly than usual.  This should allow us to highlight more small stories that become old news by the time I’ve agonized over the wording of the post and what accompanying photo to use.  Things like Nat’s upcoming UK tour or Angel’s contribution to Stereogum’s Strokes tribute album.  And that’s not to mention the new Dirty Projectors LP due this year.

Non-Twitter users can view the feed on this page and click the short URL links for the full story. The band has its own Twitter page, so I’ll retweet anything that appears there, although happily they look to be more focused on music than social media - four tweets since September.
