The state of the live side of the music industry expertly sliced and diced by @Willjhodgkinson in @thetimes today . The gulf between the top and bottom of the ladder had never been greater in my time in the industry

@acidkeith I have read it and have also listened to the audiobook version, as read by the author @Willjhodgkinson . I genuinely think it might be my favourite book about an artist’s life ever.

I’m not generally a fan of music promo videos, Even with the good ones I mostly prefer to listen to music without accompanying visuals. This is not an officially endorsed video however the combination of sound and vision here, for me, is sublime. youtu.be/unmeYME1vpo?si…

SUNDAY TIMES CULTURE MAGAZINE V&A EXCLUSIVE “The need, To have seen it all…” As the headline suggests, there is a 3-page cover feature in today’s Culture magazine in the UK, focusing on The David Bowie Centre at V&A East Storehouse. Here’s the standfirst from Will Hodgkinson’s piece... + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + David Bowie unseen: inside his archive of 90,000 personal treasures To-do lists, costumes, even menus — they were all precious to the star. As the V&A opens the David Bowie Centre, what does his collection reveal about this meticulous curator? + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + Mr Hodgkinson dipped his toe into the huge archive, and you can read all about his finds either online here: bit.ly/3JwHPRZor in the physical copy. Here's part of the closing paragraph, which we’ve illustrated with the last image... + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + As extensive as the David Bowie archive is, it cannot contain everything. In 2018 a wildfire destroyed Mike Garson’s home and studio in Bell Canyon, California, but his wife did manage to grab a charcoal portrait that Bowie drew of him during the Outside tour. “It was really very good,” Garson says. + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + The image we’ve used may or may not be the same charcoal Mike is talking about (Bowie produced a couple of artworks of Mike) as it’s from March 1994, before the Outside tour commenced. But, either way, it’s a fine piece of work. 📸 David Bowie Archive - The Duffy Archive - Mick Rock #DavidBowieArchive #DavidBowieCentre #VnAEastStorehouse #BowieCultureMagazine

Here is a very personal take on Oasis, from hearing Supersonic in a club to interviewing the Gallaghers as they battled it out in the press to seeing them reunite at Cardiff. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the…

@Willjhodgkinson that was a fascinating interview with Jeff Towns about the Dylans Bob and Thomas at @GreenManFest this afternoon but who was the singer who did that brilliant rendition of With God on our Side at the end?
