Sept. 11, #FollowFriday

I spent some time on Blip.fm this morning and realized I hadn't done a music-focused Follow Friday yet, so what better time than now?I go in fits and starts on Blip, forgetting about it for days on end, then spamming my listeners with song after song. Sorry about that.

But many people out there are far more consistent than I. Not just on Blip, but just on music overall. So I thought I'd share with you some of the most music-oriented people I follow:• FeinX: DJ FeinX is the alter ego of @MichDdot and will spin tunes such as Du Hast by Rammstein synced to a SpongeBob Squarepants video or Fatboy Slim with David Byrne & Dizzee Rascal. He also tweets out cool music-related articles and photos.MissKit: Miss Kit is the better half of our first recommendation today. And her Twitter stream is more or less all blips. And good ones. You'll hear the Rolling Stones, Cypress Hill, Pink and Simon and Garfunkel. Did I mention her musical taste is rather eclectic?TheRapUp: This account is the stream of links to articles on The Rap Up, written by our friend @Rizoh. The blog has lots of news, opinion and, of course, music videos. If you're into any hip-hop, you can't really go wrong here.DianaCostello: I used to work with Diana and she's great. If you're into Phish and that whole scene, you'll find lots to love here. She also helps administer a music blog that hosts lots of musicians local to the Lower Hudson Valley for performances. The link is on her Twitter profile.ShawnMSmith: Shawn and I have bonded over our shared love of The Pixies, one of the best and most underappreciated bands of the late '80s-early '90s (and reunited in 2004!). Though Shawn doesn't tweet out lots of links to songs, whether on Blip or his own site, a good percentage of his tweets relate to music. Cool music.That's it for this week. Got any recommendations? Particularly for music-related Twitterers? Drop 'em in the comments.
