PHOTOS: RICHIE DOWNS | Among the Twittersphere, you’ll find no larger proponent of the TVD Record Store Locator App than The Charlatans’ Tim Burgess. A traffic spike to the site or any hefty number of new followers is often had in the wake of a link to us or a mention of the app’s charms—typically in response to a query as to where Tim shops for vinyl wherever the band’s plane happens to land.
Touring in the States—finally after some time—and in support of the most recent and widely heralded release, 2015’s Modern Nature, it seemed most fitting to invite Tim to DC’s Som Records—blocks from our own office, and what has become the “set” for our shared record rummages.
As Tim discusses upon hitting play above, he’s currently writing a book as a reflection of his own passion for music on vinyl found in record stores—and his friends’ passion for records that infused their own taste in music and their own careers. As we neared Som Records, Tim had the app open in hand and rattled off a list of cities around the globe where he’s employed it and the records he’s taken home as a result. This time around however, we were off on the same mission together.
We’re with Tim Burgess from The Charlatans—let’s go record shopping.
The Charlatans’ Modern Nature is in stores now. On vinyl.
