What began as a way to collectively kill time during the early days of the pandemic, Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess' Twitter listening parties for classic and new albums has become a full time hobby, having hosted over 500 of them since April.
They're still going strong with a lineup of listening parties through the end of the year scheduled, all with the artists who made the records sharing anecdotes and stories about them while we all listen together. The rest of the 2020 schedule includes: The Cribs'Night Network (12/16), The Hold Steady's Heaven is Whenever (11/28), Tears for Fears' Songs from the Big Chair (12/4), Pop Will Eat Itself's This Is the Day...This Is the Hour...This Is This! (12/5), This Heat's self-titled 1979 album (12/7), Belle & Sebastian's upcoming live album What To Look For In Summer (12/17), Fine Young Cannibals' The Raw & The Cooked (12/17), Adam And The Ants' Kings of the Wild Frontier (12/219), and Low's Christmas (12/23).
Today (11/23), Dent May will be talking about his new album Across the Universe at 5 PM ET. Head to the Tim's Twitter LIstening Party website for more details on individual events, but the upcoming schedule is listed below.
If you missed a listening party, they're all archived and can be played back in real time so that listen and read along.
