Rod Jones

So sad to hear @steve_lamacq is leaving his @BBC6Music show full time. What a legend and hugely influential person he’s been to so many of us especially @IdlewildtheBand. I’ll be forever grateful to him for all his support and also friendship. All the best for the future! ❤️

3 years ago today we had a listening party for 100 Broken Windows by Idlewild. You can find the replay here timstwitterlisteningparty.com/pages/replay/f… Tweets from @IdlewildtheBand @DaveEringa @RoddyWoomble @RodJonesMusic #TimsTwitterListeningParty #ttlp232

This song is effortlessly cool. Exudes confidence that comes from a band being in a real purple patch. Perfect lyrical delivery as always from Hamish against a band just in the groove. So good. Made my job easy. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

A perfect vehicle for @sjcrain who just takes this to another level. Two great voices working in perfect harmony. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

This record is really good eh? Sometimes I forget. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

One version of many good versions. Maybe they’ll let you hear another one soon….. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

@soundslikeandyp Always add madness. Always.

@nostephenmorris @soundslikeandyp @annabsavage You smashed it well. Roy would be proud.

@soundslikeandyp @RodJonesMusic @annabsavage Drum-wise, I was after a classic Roy Orbison vibe with this one. Sadly our production budget didn’t stretch to Roy's “You Got It” style timpani, so I settled for smashing the floor tom instead. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Hello Tim's Twitter Listening Party! It's an absolute pleasure to be doing this again, this time for Angel Numbers! #TimsTwitterListeningParty

@soundslikeandyp It’s pure hawk. In the best way.

This one was great fun to record. It took ages to make the guitar sound like a stylophone. We should have used a stylophone. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

@nostephenmorris @soundslikeandyp @annabsavage A true pro.

@soundslikeandyp @RodJonesMusic @annabsavage John in the studio recording Angel Numbers on his birthday. What dedication. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Desperately was the first demo I heard before we started on this album and just showed how accomplished the band had become at smashing out bangers with apparent ease. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

There was a really special collective grin that went round as @annabsavage sang on this. We all knew something great just happened. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

@TeeDee1368 Mine too! It’s just a special song.

Love Bridget St John. Definitely my favourite. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

@soundslikeandyp He’s not lying. He’s still got my handkerchief

@nostephenmorris @soundslikeandyp I was going through my arp phase.

@soundslikeandyp Then recording the album in the studio, @rodjonesmusic added his magic, and we suddenly had an anthem on our hands, with arpeggiated synths, soaring backing vocals, and even a sub-bass line. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

@soundslikeandyp Chamber pop I think. Very fun to make.

@Itswallo @motherartists @AMWmichael @idlesband @IdlewildtheBand Come say hi!

@soundslikeandyp @witheredhand @BestGirlAthlete @CreativeScots @SAYaward @LlSTENlNG_PARTY Mouth noises. I remember writing that and the look of horror on the couch.

@soundslikeandyp @witheredhand @BestGirlAthlete @CreativeScots @SAYaward @LlSTENlNG_PARTY Very good times.
