In March 2020, when the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] resulted in most live music concerts being cancelled, Burgess started "Tim's Twitter Listening Party", where he would [[Twitter|tweet]] whilst listening to an [[album]] with one or more guests, normally a member of the band, who would provide insights and anecdotes about the songs, recording the album or other associated items. Over 700 parties were held in the first year.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-03-23|title=Tim Burgess announces new book celebrating a year of Listening Parties|url=https://www.nme.com/news/music/tim-burgess-announces-new-book-celebrating-a-year-of-his-listening-parties-2906109|access-date=2021-03-25|website=NME|language=en-GB}}</ref> On 31 August 2023, Burgess announced on his X (formerly Twitter) account that there would be no more additions of "Tim's Twitter Listening Party" but it would continue as a radio and podcast format.
