Check out what musicians are up to on the twitter today.

  • Duran Duran frontman Simon LeBon and brother-of-Mark Samantha Ronson are discussing the death of Muammar Gaddafi.
  • Super drummer Mike Portnoy weighs in on the  Metallica/Lou Reed collab album and he could be right.
  • Electro master Deadmau5 survives Detroit and quotes one of our favourite films. Google it.
  • X-Factor judges Mel B and Ronan Keating, Mel’s movie producer husband Stephen Belafonte, and their family are the 1%. They’re boating.
  • Amazing London/Sydney synth-mathrock trio PVT are at day five of recording so they’re taking arty photos of country New South Wales.
  • Sean Kingston has posted a photo of Chris Brown “killin rite now”. He also tagged it ‘Respect’. It would be interesting to see what other tweets are so tagged.
  • Metal auteur Devin Townsend is filming a multiply-epic puppet show in Nevada. That does sound pretty fun.
  • Usher is getting as excited as a child for his Halloween party. That sounds like even more fun.
  • Oz hip-hop kingpins Bliss N Eso retweet Horrorshow’s footage from their tour together.
  • Is it just us or is Dave Navarro a strange man for tweeting a photo of friend who has a tattoo portrait of the guy who he replaced in the Red Hot Chili Peppers? Or is this normal?
