ive listened to this album one hundred times over and it never gets old. beautifully joan baez joined in a couple songs at the end for some of the best duets ive ever heard. this album is also very fun to play on the guitar and that is good news for me. the lonesome death of hattie carroll and who killed davey moore rattle around perpetually in my skull.
i hope you are well, friend.

I love âDesolation Row,â and Iâm always happy when Bob passes the ten minute mark. we got:
âKey West (Philosopher Pirate)â â a dreamy meditation on life and finding meaning in the margins on the world âSad-eyed Lady of the Lowlandsââ the worldâs prettiest haunted love song âBrownsville Girlâ â in running for funniest song ever. a guy describing a movie he canât quite remember, and a road trip with a lost love, while the stories bleed together like repeating dreams. made complete by Kanye-style blasts of gospel choir. âHighlandsâ â a guy wanders around and flirts/argues with a diner waitress? ok idk this one is for the heads.
And of course âMurder Most Foulâ â 17 minutes of Fiona Apple piano and Bob narrating the moment of JFKâs demise, a nation betrayed and sentenced to pay, its cultural history collapsing in on itself at the start of a new age.

A little overlooked and a little maligned as being part of that period in Bobâs career (starting after the motorcycle incident) where he ended his streak of revolutionary albums (that had his contemporaries in a constant chokehold from â63-â66), and instead began turning inwards; a little more pastoral, a little more run-down and homey. Whatever, he couldâve stopped after Visions of Johanna, anything after is a blessing. It pains me when people treat this as pedestrian or unessential music. Close to John Wesley Harding in sound and aesthetic but more honest and not as interested in folk-mythmaking. This is like his McCartney, total domestic bliss and joie de vivre. Sign On The Window is my favourite.
Hopefully gets some reappraisal after Timmy covered Three Angels on SNL.

i watched it last night and i cannot stop talking about it. cole sprouse's physical comedy paired with kathryn newtons stellar line delivery makes this such a wonderful movie. so funny and camp and i had to rewatch it immediately. beautiful set design and directing. a love letter to the eighties and horror movies as a genre. the soundtrack is also just perfect. id really recommend you watch this film!!
i hope you are well, friend.

completely enamored. there is so much humanity here. little foot taps and hums. every variation is just wonderful. getting to listen to the evolution of some of the greatest songs is such a treat.
