Bob Dylan Sets a New DVD for Release

October 30th, it's a jam packed new music Tuesday, including the soundtrack to I'm Not There. Bobby D just announced that he'll be releasing The Other Side of the Mirror: Bob Dylan Live at the Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965 on that day as well.

Mr. Dylan was at Merriweather Post last month and put on a great performance, although I have to admit it was hard to get into him after a smoking warm up form Amos Lee and Elvis Costello. Dylan did however play a great rendition of Simple Twist of Fate, Blowin In The Wind and other Dylan Classics.

Can't wait til Tuesday? It's Mr. Tambourine Man Live from 1964, those were the days...

Mark Lanegan Revives Souls

Not probably since BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY by The Verve has a song come out that has the power to move in a spiritual, life-affirming way (or even to, perhaps, rev up a sports team) than REVIVAL by SOULSAVERS.

The UK duo of producer/remixers of Rich Machin and Ian Glover have put together movie scores and helped out bands like Starsailor put finishing touches on tunes.

But, on their second album, IT'S NOT HOW FAR YOU FALL, IT'S THE WAY YOU LAND, they enlist the help of Screaming Trees vocalist Mark Lanegan. He adds a powerful, weather-worn presence to a song that sounds like what would happen if you injected the Talking Head's ROAD TO NOWHERE, with a double drony dose of gospel and soul.

I haven't been able to stop thinking about this song for the past couple of weeks. See and hear why and then put this on your I-Pod, jog and see what kind of effect this song has on you!
