like he was making a really good dinner . He d work very slowly but add a little bit here or there and take his time and work really carefully to put it together . And finally , I just went on tons of walks and tried to get more than one line per song ( laughs ).
IE : You found ways to stay busy when the world closed up shop in 2020 . Were you surprised by the way Tim ' s Twitter Listening Party took off as a communal album-listening experience ? Did that grow your audience or deepen relationships in ways that surprised you ? TB : Yeah , of course . All those things . Twitter numbers doubled . My connection with other artists grew – my phone book got bigger . I think it took off because people really appreciated it during a very dark time . I ' ll always remember COVID as dark nights . It lasted so long that not every night was dark , but that was how it felt . And there were thousands of people all over the world listening to one record together . It just felt so powerful .
IE : I ' m glad that the Listening Party continues . Your two Listening Party books from the series show another way to engage . Will there be a third ? TB : We haven ' t done a new deal yet , but it should continue . If it ' s not with the same people that the last two books have been out on , then we should find a new person to put it out . There ' s gonna be a radio show and a podcast , as well as being on Twitter as many nights as we can without it being ridiculous . During
COVID , there was a Saturday where there were like 10 in one day , but there was nothing else to do . You couldn ' t really go out , so we just made the most of it . And everyone was so brilliant with their time . Of course , it changed shape along the way . At first , it was just my friends , and then it became everybody from Iron Maiden to Paul McCartney to Yoko ( Ono ) and Sean ( Lennon ) doing the John Lennon records , Duran Duran , and flipping everybody , really .
IE : It was fun seeing your own fans go all in for Iron Maiden ' s Powerslave during that Listening Party , even if some of the tweets during " Two Minutes to Midnight " were sobering . The Smiths ' ** The Queen is Dead with Mike Joyce and Steven Street involved , and David Bowie ' s Reality with Nicholas Pegg and Mike Garson were other highlights for me . TB : There were some real curve balls , like Bonnie Tyler and Tom Jones . Robbie Robertson ' s done a couple ; he ' s been brilliant . Barry Gibb . I love it .
IE : We spoke once before in 2015 when you were finishing Tim Book Two : Vinyl Adventures from Istanbul to San Francisco . One idea behind the book is connecting memories of traveling to a physical object like a record . Do you have favorite record shops you like to return to around Chicago ? TB : Dusty Groove . I really enjoyed going there . From what I remember , it was quite a new building , and it had lots of jazz . I bought John Coltrane ' s ** A Love Supreme . It was actually for the book , and I can
