Old news but this cover is crazy good. The War on Drugs should re-record all of Infidels.

Kicking off a new series on cities where Bob Dylan has only performed once ever. First up: Las Cruces, NM.
Dylan performed Marty Robbins' "El Paso" for the only time ever—and he did it twice in the same show!

Just remembered when Miley Cyrus and The Roots covered Freewheelin' outtake "Baby I'm in the Mood for You" on Jimmy Fallon.
That might top even Chalamet's SNL set for Most Unlikely Bob Dylan Cover Performed on Late Night TV.

Grantland is back baby. Great convo.
I recorded a podcast with @CKlosterman about his great new book ROCK*, a fake history of 20th century rock with real insight! We talked about how he satirized rock criticism in the book, whether rock criticism has a future, & the future of media in general

Nice try but it's not truly deluxe unless it's 39 discs long and includes 19 versions of "Vincent Van Gogh"
Taylor Swift adds "Patient Zero" and three more songs to 'The Life of a Showgirl' deluxe theneedledrop.com/news/taylo…

Happy birthday Leonard Cohen! For the @rockhall, I wrote about great Cohen covers by his fellow Rock Hall inductees. Willie, Bob, Iggy, Aretha, Joan, R.E.M., and more

In the past year, Jim Keltner has drummed on new albums by Phoebe Bridgers, Japanese Breakfast, and Perfume Genius. An indie-rock darling at 84 years old!

Another massive 39 Disc 1976 Rolling Thunder Review box set coming out in November
I mixed quite a few of these shows including his appearance on Midnight Special.
Great band including Ronson and T Bone.
