You may follow MCHammer, Erykah Badu, or Austin's own Ben Kweller on Twitter, but how can you be sure you're following all of your favorite artists? Check out this list, which has the Twitter accounts and websites for more than 700 musicians, along with those of music bloggers, record labels, podcasts, stores and more.
This amazing confluence of web and rock-and-roll is managed by Gabriel Nijme. The list details the artist, their Twitter name, website, and music genre, along with notes such as who updates frequently, whose account appears to be managed by publicists, and who's funny, but fake (Nick Cave, Notorious B.I.G.).
Also, if you know of a band that's not on the list, there's a way for you to add it yourself. It's a great way to keep track of your favorite artists as they get ready for SXSW.

I've got a directory of Austin musicians on Twitter, as well.

Thanks for this spreadsheet list of musicians and other music folks on twitter. It's especially nice that we have the option of adding ourselves to the list! ;-)
