Copper kettle without overdubs from “Another Self Portrait.”
Became totally obsessed with this album last winter … advanced bobby listeners who haven’t tried it yet… please do yourselves a favor and get down with some unreleased tracks, gorgeous demos, and alternate takes of songs off the studio albums…

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.

really into BOB DYLAN right now
Nov 10, 2024
I love “Desolation Row,” and I’m always happy when Bob passes the ten minute mark. we got:
“Key West (Philosopher Pirate)” — a dreamy meditation on life and finding meaning in the margins on the world
“Sad-eyed Lady of the Lowlands”— the world’s prettiest haunted love song
“Brownsville Girl” — in running for funniest song ever. a guy describing a movie he can’t 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.
“Highlands” — a guy wanders around and flirts/argues with a diner waitress? ok idk this one is for the heads.
And of course “Murder Most Foul” —
17 minutes of Fiona Apple piano and Bob narrating the moment of JFK’s demise, a nation betrayed and sentenced to pay, its cultural history collapsing in on itself at the start of a new age.

This is a key rec for any context in which you need to burn a few hours by yourself, especially at a bar, coffee shop, restaurant, etc. where you dont just want to be staring into space. Bring a bunch of postcards or stationery and stamps to the bar, camp out at the best people-watching table in the corner, order a little drinky, and write out some postcards about your day to your friends. (pro tip: you probably have their addresses saved in Google maps)
This is one of my favorite things to do when traveling alone...kill several birds with one stone by 1) sending sweet little trip updates to the besties back home 💌 2) burning a few hours when you don’t know what to do with yourself 🕰️ 3) looking busy while enjoying a bev in a nice place 🍸 4) getting off that damn phone for a bit 📴

dont treat your shit like it’s disposable! . My laptop is old as hell and doesn’t work unless it’s plugged into a wall, but you know what I am proud that I cared for it like the finely arranged clump of precious metals and plastics that it is instead of like something I have to upgrade because there’s been 10 new versions in the last 8 years I’ve had it. In fact it makes me a fucking saint. I also always hang dry my undies so they don’t stretch out and get holes in them from heat damage. Things will last if you invest just a modicum of care into them..additionally it feels really nice to be able to point to a hideous Victoria’s Secret thong on the drying rack and say “I’ve had that for 14 years”. Also probably in 2 more years gen alpha kids will point to my laptop and call it “vintage”, so that’s something to look forward to. Ok Rec over
