Twitter Litter: Ask Tom Morello & a Tribute to Miley Cyrus

Remember how Nicki Minaj (@nickiminaj) designed skanky clothes for Kmart, but the St. Louis stores didn't want to give them to us? Minaj is rubbing salt into the wound with a new behind-the-scenes video about her fashion empire commercial:

My RuPaul Drag Race audition tape. Commercial shoot yesterday. Lisa Fischer - How can i ease the pain http://t.co/eE4RLEUOT1

Sigh. Thanks for nothing, Nicki.

Tom Morello (@tmorello) regularly invites his Twitter followers to ask him stuff. Today, he reminds us why we like him so much:

"@OMGitsRAUNAK: what's your favourite clash song?" All of them.
— Tom Morello (@tmorello) November 6, 2013

"@AUTiger_92: Just how difficult was Harvard U?" More difficult when also practicing guitar hours every day after studying
— Tom Morello (@tmorello) November 6, 2013

And we totally did not see this one coming:

"@IsaacScrewHead: I hear youre an outkast fan." Once danced to them on tour bus w/Billy Bragg but that's about it
— Tom Morello (@tmorello) November 6, 2013

Tom Morello: forever in our hearts.

The guys in They Might Be Giants (@tmbg) are finding the silver lining in Blockbuster Video's death:

Blockbuster is closing all it's stores... so I guess I can keep this dvd of Highlander II.
— They Might Be Giants (@tmbg) November 6, 2013

Oh, Blockbuster. You inspire this Highlander II quote: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. If you don't take it out and use it, it's going to rust."

Finally, we appropriately end "Twitter Litter" with our St. Louis homie Murphy Lee (@murphylee). Over the past few months, our hometown hero has shared his STL spirit through Cardinals attire, music videos and inspirational horoscope readings. Today, he expresses the down-home values that make Midwesterners the envy of those on the coasts:

My son say wen he get married..he just gone agree with errythang she say so dey won't argue n breakup n stuff....lol Sagittarius boy lol
