The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music

Dave Grohl
IanSandersIanSanders

Reading Dave Grohl’s ‘The Storyteller’ - his tales of playing and recording music in his bedroom as a kid took me back to rewatch his 2013 keynote at SXSW. Love this story of how Dave made DIY multi-track recordings in his bedroom when he was 12. https://t.co/wSgnWuXViv

Finally I go into my MacBook and tidy up the doc to create a one or two page summary of the book. (The example I have used in this thread is Ideaflow by @jeremyutley and Perry Klebahn)

If you’re in central London and near Euston Road, @ExploreWellcome has the perfect (free!) lunch-hour exhibition: ‘Joy.’ Some of my highlights: Barry Lewis’ photo of Butlin’s Skegness; Joy Labinjo’s portrait inspired by a stash of family photographs; and some fab David Shrigley. https://t.co/CXUTxYtVR6

Shuggie Bain: A Novel (Booker Prize Winner)

Douglas Stuart
IanSandersIanSanders

I loved reading ‘Shuggie Bain.’ Also I’m really interested in Douglas Stuart’s story. He wrote Shuggie, much of it on the M train to work, whilst still working in fashion in NYC. This is a wonderful episode of Imagine https://t.co/sQqkW2X6I1

I Will Survive: Desert Island Discord

Simon Northouse

This is wonderful. Roy Plomley (then a freelancer) pitches his Desert Island Discs programme idea to the BBC in 1941. Love the simplicity of his one-page pitch.

If there's one habit I'm pleased I've kept up over the last twenty five years, it's this: always have a notebook at my side. In these books are my weekly Good Times lists, observations, doodles, notes, stories and newspaper clippings. Work. Family. Life. It's all here. https://t.co/hlhxs5tEXy
