@1Dev Nooooo!!

@Willjhodgkinson 🥲

That’s Radiohead, offering an emotional release valve for reasonable people since the early 90s thetimes.com/culture/music/…

Hugely insightful and eye-opening interview with @DanielRachel69 in The Times over the weekend, about his book THIS AIN’T ROCK ‘N’ ROLL - exploring pop music’s disturbing fascination with fascism. With many thanks to @Willjhodgkinson thetimes.com/culture/music/…

‘I was paranoid. Who wouldn’t be?’ John Lennon’s lost interview from 1975, from FBI surveillance to trying to lead a normal life with Yoko after discovering on his Lost Weekend that ‘the grass isn’t always greener. It’s just more grass.’ thetimes.com/article/0f04cf…

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

@DuglasTStewart @acidkeith Wow - Thank you!

@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

🗣️ 'He was saying, if we get back together, it's gotta be the best it's ever been' How did Oasis reunite? We hear the best theories from our chief rock and pop critic @Willjhodgkinson on The Story podcast ⬇️ 🎧 @LukeJones 🔗: pod.fo/e/315f35

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…

@helensaxby11 @GreenManFest Spitzer Space Telescope

@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?

From Felt, to Denim, and now @Mozart_Estate, Lawrence is back to build on his ever-evolving legacy with the new album ‘Tower Block in a Jam Jar’ coming 17th October 🏢 Celebrate the art of the album on National Album Day 18th Oct 🎉 Pre-order here: cherryred.co/towerblock

“Lawrence, for better off or worse, really has had the bravery to go down his own path...ultimately it has resulted in totally unique art and whether you like it or not, you can't say that anyone's making records like Lawrence.” - @Willjhodgkinson blog.roughtrade.com/gb/in-conversa…

Absolutely loving this by @Willjhodgkinson Listening to Back in Denim while I read. Bit concerned my wife is morphing into Lawrence though 😬
