Direct Message: How the Charlatans' Tim Burgess snagged Oasis, Blur, Franz Ferdinand and more to bring 'Twitter listening parties' to fans
“He did an incredible job,” Burgess says. “It’s a way for [the bands] to go through their memories, and for the fans to enjoy them, probably seeing them for the first time.”
“I think it was the first time I had listened to it all the way through since we mastered it 15 years ago,” Kapranos recalls. “It was cool seeing what people’s reactions were, and also different generations of reactions — people who would’ve been seven years old who are listening to it now, and people who are reminiscing like, ‘This brings me back to being in school when this record came out’ … It reminds you of how you listened to music at that time in your life.
Jason Williamson, frontman of the Nottingham electro-punk duo Sleaford Mods, says that every act shares a fandom that still prioritizes record collecting and listening to full albums. “We’re not exactly a young pop band that would probably be better served doing a live performance,” he says. “We’re more of a collectors’ band.” As such, Williamson is taking full advantage of that – he’s on the schedule to host a total of seven listening parties down the line.
