Twitter keeps sending emails asking me what I'm watching. You might have got them too; they sound a bit like your grandma walking in to find you in front of the TV when The Fifth Element is on.
"Matthew Stubbs, what are you watching?"
Well Twitter, this morning I was watching an arrangement of Silent Night to the backing of Gymnopedie No. 1 by Satie played by a string quartet and a flute.
It made me realise how important it is to have a musical idea and stick with it. Combining these two things seemed like trying to convey a crisp nativity night with a miserable walk in the rain. Musically it worked really well; thematically, it was just awful.
What Twitter really wants me to do of course, is to watch things it thinks I might be interested in...
One Direction belting their little hearts out, a Game of Thrones promo and a baby singing along to an Adele remix.
You know I'm not sure Twitter really knows me as much as it thinks it does.
