It's been another busy week, and once again our favourite musicians have been letting steam on Twitter. Here's what we've learned from their posts, including Babyshambles' Adam Ficek sullenly responding to Calvin Harris' Twitter breakdown, Franz Ferdinand's Alex Kapranos writing new songs and The Cribs' Ryan Jarman loving Lovvers and Strange Boys.
Here's some of the best Tweets from the past week, spelling mistakes and all
Wild Beasts: Walking past my old primary school dinner lady through Kendal drizzle, a cheque from Faber in my hand. Life can be strange.
Ezra Koenig, Vampire Weekend: goodbye Chicago. all I have left are my memories and this copy of 'The Razor's Edge' signed by Asher Roth
Courtney Love: apparently my tweets are confusing,1 i dont like purple much at all i like AUBERGINE i love BERRY but NOT Prince or even Hendrix PURPLE
