Such a classic tune. I went to over a billion indie discos in the mid-noughties and this always got played. And Le Tigre. And any Phones remixes #timstwitterlisteningparty

Giddy Stratospheres. This was the single. I think we heard a demo before we put them in the studio, or maybe not. We didn’t care really, we’d have released anything they did. Joe and I joined in for the handclaps at the start. #timstwitterlisteningparty

We went to see them at a pub in Sheffield and we offered to release their next single, and then stayed over and drank vodka. Dorian had a huge David Bailey print of Mick Jagger in his living room so don’t believe him about not liking the Stones haha #timstwitterlisteningparty

I first saw the Long Blondes after they sent us a demo on a pink CD in a pink envelope with a typewriter written letter on pink paper. The music sounded like Raincoats and Pulp. Totally sold #timstwitterlisteningparty

I seem to remember it was two early songs that got spliced together to make an even better new one. Always liked the Nag Nag Nag bit #timstwitterlisteningparty

Just dusting off this classic, starting in ten mins 👀

V nice to revisit this, thanks to @TNPS, @GPSutton @timburgess and all who have listened. 🤝 #timstwitterlisteningparty

Majestic #TimsTwitterListeningParty

White Chords - Goes a bit epic this one. "And the fur of a white cat on my back" #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Goes somewhere else here.. elevates. So good #timstwitterlisteningparty

Drum Courts - FUCKING HELL. The climax of the Hidden Live shows, fantastic to see quite sober looking woodwind players next to George pummelling the absolute living shit out of the drums. #timstwitterlisteningparty

Orion - Bringing back some of the melodies from earlier in the album. I think I first heard this one at a show in St Petersburg before the album came out, a club full of Russian kids going for it. Here’s a couple of photos from the show #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Turn the record over lads #timstwitterlisteningparty

They were very young and didn’t say much but gave it loads on stage, lots of very arresting performances around the clubs of East London. Great nights / memories. #timstwitterlisteningparty

Fire-Power - A bit more Beat Pyramid sounding this one. I like the continuity of references to Fire in TNP songs, like Bowie with stars and space. Clever lads. #timstwitterlisteningparty

I’d been working with the band for about 4 years when Hidden was released, first saw them play in a basement in Southend in 2005. They all wore grey and had painted the amps and drumkit grey. Jack and Tom did the Wilko Johnson up and down walk on stage. #timstwitterlisteningparty

I think George signed autographs backwards at the time too #timstwitterlisteningparty

Attack Music - I remember George getting some Nikes with a complimentary embroidering. They refused to write ‘Attack’ lest violence be incited, but were ok with ‘cisuM kcattA’. #timstwitterlisteningparty
