Talking Heads, The Shins, Mercury Rev, ABC & more added to Tim's Twitter Listening Party lineup
Started as something fun and communal to do during lockdown, Tim’s Twitter Listening Party, where people are invited to listen to a classic album at a designated time and the artists who made them share anecdotes and answer fan questions, has been going for over two months now. There are usually at least a couple a day, all hosted by The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess, and the schedule continues to grow.
