As you may have read, we’ve put ourselves up for a multi-media award. After all, what other site offers 240-odd reviews of 10,000 words, a twitter feed, a facebook group and a series of Youtube videos starring drunken and singing dogs for free? If you like what you’ve read then please nominate us at http://shortyawards.com/alansarchives in either the ‘music’ ‘fansite’ or ‘youtube star’ categories – it should only take a few seconds if you have your own twitter feed to log on with. Please vote if only for the following two reasons 1) It will help us advertise the site if people see us high in a list of ‘nominees’ and 2) Justin Bieber is currently at #1 in the music section – and we have to stop him!!! (The Spice Girls aren’t far away either!) To advertise our ‘nomination’ we at the AAA have put together a special interview (as requested by ‘Shorty’) which in lieu of any other good ideas this week we thought we’d reprint. It’s all a bit focussed on our twitter feed, as they’re the main sponsors of the award, so remember you can follow us on twitter at @alansarchives. First up, here’s my interview, as CEO (and general dogsbody) at Alan’s Album Archives – then it’s Youtube stars Bingo and Max and finally, our resident ewok ninja (in case you don’t know, these are imaginary creatures who have broken through from a parallel universe to live in Mike ‘The Face Of Bo’s closet and are always causing mischief!):
with Alan Pattinson (@alansarchives)
What's your best tweet?
I did enjoy comparing Nick Clegg to Nelson, the fox from ‘Mongrels’ as ‘Britain’s best fictional character’. Bingodoghic does the best tweets though
What are six things you could never do without?
MP3 player, CD player, cassette player, record player...hmm think you're getting the idea by now. Oh and two dogs, Max and Bingo!
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
By plugging my site. Endlessly. Remember folks, it's www.alansalbumarchives.moonfruit.com...
What's your favorite Twitter app?
One that links to my blog - yesssiree, it's www.alansalbumarchives.moonfruit.com, remember. Just saying in case you'd forgotten!
Twitter or Facebook?
Both. Facebook for friends I know and always want in my life - Twitter for people I'll never probably meet but are glad to have in my life
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
Queen_UK's tweet about Prince Charles getting a plastic crown in his cracker last year...
What feature should Twitter add?
A link to my website - it's www.alansalbumarchives.moonfruit.com. Wait, did I already mention that?!
Who do you wish had a Twitter feed but doesn't?
Hundreds of musicians, I'd love to see CSNY on here and Dr Who, but then he's a bit busy saving the world from destruction every day to tweet
What are some words or phrases you refuse to shorten for brevity?
discombobulate, Simon and Garfunkel, Belle and Sebastian, Max The Singing Dog
Is there someone you want to follow you who doesn't already? If so, who?
Everyone! And get visiting my site while you're about it: it's www.alansalbumarchives.moonfruit.com, visit us now!
Have you ever unfollowed someone? Who and why?
Only by accident. The more to follow the merrier in my view.
Why should we vote for you?
Because I'm plugging my site endlessly...no, hang on, because if you share a passion for 1960s and 70s music I can help with your symptoms
Terms you wish would start trending on Twitter right now?
#alansalbumarchives, #Cameronmustgo #TheQueenhasabdicated, #CSNYatnumberone, #TheFaceOfBoHasWonTheLottery, #BingoIsSober, #Maxhaslosthisvoice
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
NutTheSquirrel - it isn't everyday you get to chat to a beanie squirrel. I'm beginning to think Queen_UK isn't really the queen...
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
#alansalbumarchivesisgreat, #bingoisdrunkagain, #wakemeupwhenthecoalitionisover
How do you make your tweets unique?
Trust me, when you're this monkeynuts after writing a multi-billion word count site, the way you see the world is very unique!
What inspires you to tweet?
Music, madness, insanity, insincerity, injustice, inhumanity and daily events in my life that are so random I just have to share them
Ever get called out for tweeting too much?
No, luckily that illness is easily tweeted! (Groan!)
140 characters of advice for a new user?
Remember that you'll always always always always always always always always use more letters than you think you are actually going to nee-
How long can you go without a tweet?
I can manage...erm..ahh...umm...HELP! it's been too long! Stop asking me questions and let me tweet! I take it back - this is untweetable!
What question are we not asking here that we should?
What was the address of that marvellous website again? Why its www.alansalbumarchives.moonfruit.com, thanksforasking!
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
Multiple accounts to cope with everyone's multiple personalities.
Who do you admire most for his or her use of Twitter?
@VelaDeadRaven is always cool, @Bingodoghic is always drunk, @4waysite has impeccable music taste and @EmmaPne has a great chronic fatigue blog
Who is the funniest person on Twitter that you follow?
@VelaDeadRaven @bingodoghic (when he's not too drunk to forget his password!) and @ewokninjas, for that surreal in-joke factor
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That it's a waste of time. Like 99% of our lives isn't anyway?!
Why should people follow you?
Our music site at www.alansalbumarchivesmoonfruit.com, which has more writing than a boring science text book, but far more laughs
Can you name some one-of-a-kind Twitter accounts that you follow?
SontaronPR is pretty special - I always wondered what a Sontaron thought about when taking over the world. And @bingodoghic is unique too!
How do you decide what to tweet?
I take a long slow lazy look through the inner workings of my mind, fall asleep, turn on the telly and steal something funny by somebody else
Why'd you start tweeting?
To plug my website (www.alansalbumartchives.moonfruit.com). That and to keep an eye on what Bingo tweets when he is drunk!
Has Twitter changed your life? If yes, how?
Yes. This site used to be just me, my thoughts and a laptop - now it's just me, my thoughts, a laptop and various followers!
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Visit my site! Only joking - I would say the community spirit on Twitter is already about as good as it can get!
How will the world change in the next year?
Aliens will start tweeting their own messages from the planet Zigorous Three+all the 'April 1st' editions of my website will be proved right!
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Tweeting personal opinions when you're in a job where you're not supposed to have any (politicians especially). Lucky no one knows me!
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
Like it is now, but with no Coalition or Royal Family, more music websites and singing dogs with canes and contact from aliens on Zigorous 3!
with MaxTheSingingDog (@MaxTheSingingDo)
What are six things you could never do without?
My cane, my top hat, my bow tie, New York New York, Youtube, Alan's Album Archives
How do you use Twitter in your professional life?
It gives me the inspiration to remain an Alan's Album Archives mascot and create lots of fun Youtube videos! It also shows me the world is mad
What was the funniest trend you've seen?
#bingoisdrunkagain, #stopsingingmax,
What feature should Twitter add?
An avatar who can sing your best tweets, dressed in a top hat and cane!
Hashtag you created that you wish everyone used?
#singing dogs, #newyorknewyork, #Imanalansalbumarchivesreader, #Ivejusthadnewbatteriesandavoiceboxinstalled
140 characters of advice for a new user?
‘I'm spreading the news, if you're tweeting today, you'll want to be a part of it...'
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
More canines with top hats and canes, less obnoxious boy bands and girl bands and politician faux pas
What is one of the biggest misconceptions of Twitter?
That there aren't any musical dogs on Twitter. I mean there's me and Bingo for starters!
Why should people follow you?
Don't nominate me - follow @alansarchives - though I do tweet a lot about singing New York New York and wearing hats
How do you decide what to tweet?
It's usually the song I'm singing in my head at the time. Wait, here it comes now: 'I'm spreading the news, I'm leaving today...'
What do you wish people would do more of on Twitter?
Sing 'New York New York'
What are some big Twitter faux pas?
Tweeting without being properly dressed ie wearing a bow tie, top hat and cane
What will the world be like 10 years from now?
The whole world will be singing New York New York + I'll have to sign lots of autographs: though that might be hard as I never put my cane down

What's your best tweet?

Cos I;m an ewok ninja! bwahahahahahaha!
What's the most interesting connection you've made through Twitter?
@BingoDogHic - the most drunken dog I've ever had the pleasure to tweet!
What inspires you to tweet?
The chance to scare Mike and jump out of his closet! Mwahahahahahah!
How long can you go without a tweet?
Quite long - it's hard to type on a laptop with paws
How do you imagine Twitter changing?
More ewok ninjas, less embarrassing blond teenagers who can't sing
