If you want to find me, check out @djbakerbooks.com on Bluesky. I'll be back here every now and then to post my book announcements, but won't be creating new content. 👋

@DrunkScribe Why is everybody liking this comment? It's non-sensical sarcasm lol

@DrunkScribe But have you seen this?

Hello. Yes, I've seen it. No, I don't have a comment.

@JGordonBramer @ThatEricAlper Oh boy, Smith was a national treasure. What a damn shame.

@ThatEricAlper Elliott Smith

Who is a musician who died far too soon, and who you think would've remained great into their later years?

@cutigs1 @ThatEricAlper One of the best singers for sure. But he stopped singing years before he died. He likely would've just continued fading away if he had lived.

@ThatEricAlper The GOAT of grunge Layne Staley

@JoshuaDone @kirawontmiss That's pretty hilarious since he became famous from a comic book adaptation and now has his own spinoff

@kirawontmiss I got that beat. I met Norman Reedus and had a full conversation with him about how everything is reboots and spinoffs these days and only after walking away did I realize who he was.

imagine interviewing Willem Dafoe and not knowing who he is😭

Coming Soon: + New Website + New Youtube Channel + NEW BOOK!

@MagicBendy @JVMonte2 Ehhh, Nightwish's first couple of albums hit way better IMO

@JVMonte2 Iron Maiden when Bruce replaced Paul on lead vox. AC/DC when Brian Johnson stepped in following Bon Scott’s untimely demise. Van Halen when Sammy Hagar joined after DLR left. Nightwish with Floor Jansen, after the departure of Tarja Turunen, (and Annette Olzon before Tarja).

What band or group was still actually pretty good even after one of their members was replaced?

@DrunkScribe Happy bday

It’s my birthday 🥰

@JVMonte2 The Smalls — To Each a Zone youtube.com/watch?v=pZaJRh…

What’s a great album by a Canadian band, group or artist?

Gonna start publishing again, book 3 launching soon. Thanks for waiting so patiently these last couple of months, everyone!

@Dogskip @ThatEricAlper *ahem* Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. Neil Young's contribution to that song can not be understated!

@ThatEricAlper "Woodstock" - first recorded by Joni Mitchell, but was known as a song recorded by Crosby, Stills and Nash.

What song cover is so famous, most people don’t know it’s a cover?

@seo_adelaide @ThatEricAlper Had to scroll too far to see that Cobain/Bowie hit. Best cover song ever performed IMO

@ThatEricAlper 2 come to mind Nirvana's "Man who sold the World" (by Bowie) & Leonard Cohens "Hallelujah" sung by Jeff Buckley

@GScottLaughlin @ThatEricAlper Having grown up in Canada in the 90s and not seen this Cars movie, Cochrane's song is the only version I know!

@ThatEricAlper "Life Is a Highway" by Rascal Flatts. Originally performed by Tom Cochrane, the version by Rascal Flatts for the movie ‘Cars’ became a hit.

@TheKnoll67 @3rdordereffects @ThatEricAlper I think everyone knew that one was a cover though

@lynn_egy @ThatEricAlper Held up like a loofah by the foreman of the night...

@ThatEricAlper Blinded By The Light - Manfred Mann's Earth Band Original by Springsteen.

@leah_from I'll keep my Twitter account, but I don't have much inclination to log on these days. Hoping Bluesky picks up in engagement!

@R_S_Russo It's probably more a case of Twitter losing customers than you losing actual followers. A lot of people are sick of this platform.

Yikes, another huge drop in followers (and accounts I follow). Can some of you please stay. 😔

@BrandonTCB12 @Jaberuski 12 and 8 are pretty different though.

@Jaberuski I broke my dad’s tv when I was 12 playing football in the house. I spent the next 9 months working for him to pay for a new one

What’s an appropriate punishment when your 8 year old cracks your 75 inch screen?

@lippyent My grandmother's Good Housekeeping Cookbook published in the 1950's

Hmm 🤔 ?¿

@SGJ72 Mmm chicken
