A Dull and Witless Boy.

My name's Colin and I play in the Decemberists.

Ghostwrite My Twit

(On the fence as to whether that title is totally ingenious or downright semi-offensive.)

You want to be my ghostwriter for the day?  How about tomorrow?

I’ll let you say whatever you want (within reason*) over the course of the day by rebroadcasting your tweets via @colinmeloy (frequency of broadcast will be at my discretion).  Plug your band!  Advance your agenda!  Let the world** know your likes/loathes!  Sing your life!

I’ll be taking applicants via response on twitter and selecting on merit of your response and the relative pithiness and insight of your tweet history.  So it’s like an audition.

Fine print:

*naturally, “I’m a douche-bag” would be an example of one tweet that would not pass moderation.  Keep it clean, keep it cool. Bitching about faceless corporations and their Kafka-esque customer service is OK.

**or at least 910,230 of the world’s twitter users.  Fine fine print: the vast percentage of those people are very likely roaming spam-bots, fickle technology naifs, and people who think I look like that guy from “The Office.”
