Tim Jonze

It’s five years since I was diagnosed with an incurable blood cancer. I wrote a big piece for Saturday magazine about the worst year of my life - terror, grief, miscarriage - and how it has led to some of the happiest theguardian.com/society/2023/a…

New intel just dropped! A big hats off and a heartfelt thank you to our ally @timjonze and The Guardian for this spiffing piece 🫡 Read the full article at these coordinates: theguardian.com/stage/2025/dec…

The BBC really thought they had it all covered by not live streaming Kneecaps set 😂 Then comes along Bob Vylan 🎤 #Glastonbury2025

I’ve just been into the city centre to pick up a friend and his young son who were completely stranded due to the issues at Lime Street. I’m aware that there’s been a major incident and the resources of the emergency services will obviously be stretched, but the situation at Lime Street and the gridlock of traffic all around the city centre with zero control is very, very dangerous.

@RMTunion Liverpool Lime Street closed to passengers. We've known this would be the demand for a month. Emblematic of our disgusting national train failure. Merseyrail on the way up a disgrace too

I will be joining my colleagues at the Guardian and Observer who are on strike for 48 hours over the sale of the Observer. I will be back at work on Friday. For more information please follow @GoNUJ93 and @NUJofficial or visit nuj.org.uk/savetheobserver

@jennylandreth I’m not sure what the plans are - I think it could still come out x

@timjonze Like lots of folk, I only knew him on here but counted him as a friend and felt his loss. Are there plans to publish the book? I’d really like to read it.

My little obit for James McMahon – a funny, creative, passionate and occasionally maddening friend who I had an absolute blast with in my early NME days. RIP Jam x theguardian.com/music/2024/nov…

@JamieBowman77 I had the same thought

@timjonze He would've loved the fact it said 'Other Lives, Indie'

@DavidBrazil Ha thank you!

@timjonze Best music article ever.

50 years ago this month, Kraftwerk’s Autobahn changed pop music forever. I drove from Bonn to Hamburg to capture the road's sights and sounds – and work out why nobody in Dusseldorf seemed bothered about the band (and yes this WAS a dream commission!) theguardian.com/music/2024/nov…

@DSProudfoot @LeBeaujolaisltd Thanks so much Douglas - I’ll look forward to visiting there again, had a nice vibe (and if Barry Miles says it’s soho then it’s soho I guess!)

Bravo, @timjonze, for this wistful exploration of contemporary Soho's fading but still louche charms. I was particularly chuffed that he included my own dining club, @LeBeaujolaisltd, even though it technically located outside the sacred precinct. #Soho

@VisitDusseldorf Nice! Well I’d like to come back as I loved Dusseldorf. Also - is the traffic cone outside the old Kling Klang a Kraftwerk reference or just a traffic cone?

@timjonze Yes, it does exist. It started in 2018, following the Tour de France open-air concert in 2017. In the same year, we presented the tour at the Music Tourism Convention in Liverpool. Since then, it has regularly sold out. The guides, Michael and Sven, are local music book authors.

@VisitDusseldorf So there IS a walking tour? I stand corrected

@timjonze Great read! When you’re next in Düsseldorf, let us know – we’d love to invite you to our guided walk The Sound of Düsseldorf. Explore the legacy of Kraftwerk, DAF, and Propaganda with us. 🤖🤖🤖🤖 #Düsseldorf #Kraftwerk visitduesseldorf.de/en/experience/…

@maxrushden I tweeted and Blueskyed a piece I wrote yesterday - I have over 40 times as many followers on here and yet the engagement on Bluesky was much better

Question. Was having a chat about twitter/x just now and the decline in people seeing posts - or whether I am (even) less interesting than a few years ago Can anyone see this? a) yes b) no c) don't know

@spinal_bap Where would be the iconic, defining route of the National Express do you think?

@timjonze Excellent stuff. Very much enjoyed all that detail. Not taking the Mickey but am now tempted to pitch ‘A road trip like no other’: my epic journey on The Divine Comedy’s National Express. What could go wrong?

@Wummpaa Thank you!

@timjonze I really enjoyed this. Thank you. Listening to Autobahn for the first time as I write this.

Some very sad news justgiving.com/crowdfunding/j…

I’m also escaping the fascists, transphobes and porn bots onto Bluesky - same name as here
