Not sure what black magic they cast when the lights went out but hearing Desire @pitchblackplayback.bsky.social kinda made me love Joey.

I'm looking forward to listening to Desire in the dark this evening. Here's what @pitchblackplayback.bsky.social founder Ben Gomori told me I can expect from the experience.

Celebrate the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan's Desire with a unique listening party - entirely in the dark. I spoke to @pitchblackplayback.bsky.social founder Ben Gomori about hearing more in music when the lights are out. Link 👇

Dylan’s cover of John Hiatt’s “The Usual” on this soundtrack is pretty good!

Found this in my local record shop this morning.

Happy birthday Joan Baez!

Nice!!!! Underrated album! How does it sound on vinyl?!

his 11th best album imo love it!

I've said it before, I'll say it again, like so many others: Great songs, horrible production. Shame on you, Bob and Arthur Baker. (Though I think they get "Tight Connection to My Heart" right and "Dark Eyes" is brilliant.

Always a Bob bargain @harbourrecords.bsky.social

Another Side of Bob Dylan - New York

Reading the new Thomas Pynchon is like seeing the Rough and Rowdy Ways show for the third or fourth time. At first you think something different might be nice. But 50 pages in, you’re hooked in again by its variation on a theme.

so much for these long and wasted years

I haven’t seen anything this publicly owned before. Are you socialism?

0.04% now looking like a lame effort

Where are my 0.04 percenters at?

Brilliant

Bob Dylan played his final show of 2025 last night in Dublin. @definitelydylan.bsky.social reports in: "From the beginning, his vocals were an immediate and commanding presence in the room… Sometimes it really feels like his voice has aged backwards over the past decade or two."

Bob Dylan singing Rainy Night in Soho last night in Dublin: www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrrY... Shane McGowan's wife Victoria Mary Clarke was there to see it and later described the performance as "so beautiful". Today is their wedding anniversary. Lovely stuff.
