Hello, my name is Solomon. This is my personal account, where I'll tweet about what I eat and stuff. To hear about my gigs, follow @solomondouglas instead.

Hey @chucktodd, I am a fan of @MeetThePress and I'm also a fan of @IAmAmnaNawaz. The next time you invite her onto your show, could you please ask her how she wants her name to be pronounced?

Hey @VanityFair and @joehagansays! Great Beatles article. Excited for the film. But you may want to fact-check your keyboard info: I only see and hear Preston play a Fender Rhodes sparkle-top Suitcase Piano on the roof, no organ. (I'd be excited to be wrong about this, however!)

I just wrote "solo (espr.)" in a guitar part and then my caffeine-addled brain read it as "solo espresso".

Now. Here. This.

Surprise overnight in Sydney. This is the best day ever!

Even though I know that paracetamol and acetaminophen are the same chemical, I find that paracetamol works better on me, probably because it's exotic to me and therefore has a more pronounced placebo effect.

The WTC PATH station still has that new transit hub smell.

I called "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" on my gig tonight because I thought it was seasonally appropriate, but then I realised it's the middle of summer here and I felt a bit ridiculous. So I followed it with "Summer Samba" and then "Summertime".

After I type the word "Lovely", the autocorrect app on my phone ("Gboard" from Google) suggests these as the next word: "blonde", "Asian", "teen". Hey @Google , this is what happens when you train your AI using real-world racist and misogynist datasets.

For free, but at what cost?

[Solomon Douglas @swingmatism]

I do not take clean underwear and socks for granted.

@dropbox, when I ask you to pause, please STAY PAUSED. I pay $32/GB for wifi, and if you sync without my permission, it costs lots of money.

Who do I know who's going to the Dark Mofo Festival in Tasmania this week? Wanna get together?

[Solomon Douglas @swingmatism]

I'm getting better at foosball.

Deep-fried chicken skins.

It delights me to come home to my cabin and find things knocked down, because it reminds me of having pets.

[Solomon Douglas @swingmatism]

Omg, the universe, right?
