Anyone got involved with these last couple of weeks? Seems to have really caught the imagination of music fans on Twitter.

Tim (from The Charlatans, in case not aware), arranges with somebody from the band or involved with the album, and gets the actual artists to tweet along with some commentary about a particular album and fans can fire off comments/questions.

So at the allotted time of say 9pm, everyone starts playing the album at the same time, and just chats basically.

Some of them seem to have been really successful, plenty of variety.

I did the The Style Council’s ‘Our Favourite Shop’ last night. Paul Weller was tweeting, maybe he was a bit quiet or didn’t quite get the concept, but interesting to see some comments from him.

A good idea to get people involved in some community type thing. Tim’s got loads arranged for the coming days/weeks with a lot of well known names, a few of which I want to listen to if family time allows.

I’ve probably not described it very well, but a pretty cool idea in these strange times.
