over 5 years in Standard
The world might be in rest mode but Tim Burgess hasn't been getting much sleep. Last month, the Charlatans frontman-turned-solo artist inadvertently signed himself up for a new full-time job: as a late-night party host. Every night at 9pm, #timstwitterlisteningparty starts trending again, as thousands of music fans hit play on the same album while the artist live-tweets their studio memories and backstage highlights. Members of Oasis, The Chemical Brothers and Franz Ferdinand are among those who've taken part so far.
