[Robert Hilburn @roberthilburn]

Charles R. Cross, whose books included the Kurt Cobain biography “Heavier Than Heaven,” which is high on my short-list of best music biographies ever, has died. He was as warm and gracious as he was a passionate and compelling writer. Condolences to his family. .@charlesrcross

I asked David Fincher about a very specific costume choice in THE KILLER: Why is Arliss Howard wearing a t-shirt for Sub Pop, the label famous for signing the likes of Nirvana and Soundgarden?

[Bob Mehr @BobMehr]

A holiday/xmas warning (with peace & luv): if you're planning on gifting The Replacements' Tim: Let It Bleed Edition, I'd urge you to buy ASAP. Whether from Rhino direct (which comes w/a bonus 7"), online or at brick & mortar, I'd purchase soon, as the box is on track to sell out

[Rock Book Show @rockbookshow]

Hey! New episode alert! We’ve just dropped our recent chat with @nerdygirly about her wonderful @333books title about @officialgogos’ Beauty & The Beat, and it’s a fun one! Find it at all the usual places. https://t.co/OtlIuQzxoP

[Will Sergeant @Will_Fuzz]

Today just got a whole lot better. @Johnny_Marr gifted me this bloody amazing book. I thought I had a few guitars but Johnny just blew me right out of the water with his collection. That green Telecaster!! what a gorgeous machine? Always wanted a green guitar, (green being my favourite colour as it goes with my eyes don't ya know) but somehow never got around to finding one.
Thanks Johnny x

[Daryl Hall @realdarylhall]

We're back!

[Variety @Variety]

“Live from Daryl’s House,” the Webby Award-winning musical performance show co-hosted by Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Daryl Hall, is returning to the web after a five-year halt in production. More details here:
