being unpredictable does not always equate to "good music"
bobs last 3 records are more arsenal for the argument that white man cant sing the blues. fucking hideous.

Noel Gallagher Angry That HMV No Longer Sells CD’s
Now, everybody knows that a music shop should, technically, stock all the latest chart CD’s… right? Wrong! In fact, Noel Gallagher has been shouting about his outrage over a music shop that no longer sells compact discs.
The Oasis guitarist took time out to vent his anger in his blog, saying how disappointed he was to find that the HMV in Selfridges have decided not to bother selling CD’s anymore.
Noel popped into the London store during a break on the band’s Dig Out Your Soul tour, but was left empty handed and foul-mouthed; "I went into the HMV in Selfridges - I could spend two hours in there just looking at records - only to be told by one of the staff that they don't sell CDs anymore!! A f**kin' outrage.
"'It's the future,' said the kid. 'F**k the future,' said I. IT. IS. THE. END. OF. THE. WORLD. So what happens now then? Do I actually have to buy a bastard computer to buy music? Where is it all gonna end? In all seriousness though, it's very sad. I may have to move to Japan!"
Although we’d like to point out the ludicrousness of HMV not selling CD’s anymore, we think Noel has just about summed it up!

felt compelled to remind Mr Daltrey of that last Who record
both the who and bob have made crap records but the who know how to put on a show. bob takes the piss. which is kinda cool "i can shit on you as much as i want and you will pay to eat it, ha, ha"
edit to add: "pay to"

Blue Cheer - Summertime Blues
is this the first ever heavy metal record ?
must be the first 60s record that you could pass off as a modern record and nobody would notice.

Bob Dylan: Together Through Life
Bob Dylan's music is being suffocated by all the hype, says Alexis Petridis
Recently, Bob Dylan was ruminating on how the response to his songs had changed over the years. "If there's an astrologer with a criminal record in one of my songs," he claimed, "it's not going to make anybody wonder if the human race is doomed." There speaks a man either blissfully unaware of, or pointedly ignoring both the dippy ladies outside his gigs flogging books called Voice of a Nightingale: A Poetic Interpretation of Dylan and the gentleman from the British broadsheet who spent a paragraph of a live review pondering the significance of Dylan's "awe-inspiring" decision to emphasise the syllables in one line of All Along the Watchtower slightly differently from the recorded version. No sooner had tracks from Together Through Life been previewed than it was noted that I Feel A Change Comin' On's lyrics not only open with the words "I'm looking the world over, looking far off to the East," but contained a line that might be a reference to the Old Testament's Book of Nehemiah: the implication seemed to be that the White House might consider putting everything on hold until President Obama worked out the vital message Dylan had to impart regarding American foreign policy.
The basic impulse seems oddly familiar: to transform Bob Dylan into something he isn't by sheer force of will. The vast disparity between the albums Dylan has made in the last decade (the understated, unassuming and occasionally unremarkable sound of an artist knocking on 70 surrounding himself with the blues and pre-rock pop of his childhood) and the critical reaction they've engendered (all excitably proclaimed an artistic statement of such significance that everything else in popular culture shrivels like a raisin before it) seems as much of a story as the music he makes.
The reaction to Together Through Life hasn't quite scaled the peaks of frothing lunacy engendered by its predecessor, Modern Times. That's possibly because the former has humble origins: commissioned to come up with something for a film soundtrack, Dylan kept writing, recording the album on the hoof. Nevertheless, there have still been wild comparisons to the 60s Dylan albums that caused the whole of rock music to shift, suggestions you might consider calling an ambulance prior to listening to My Wife's Home Town lest the injuries you sustain from laughing at the punchline (his wife's hometown is Hell) prove life-threatening, etc. One heritage rock mag claimed that If You Ever Go to Houston resembles the work of "people who turn up at a party and before you know it are blowing doors off the hinges, juggling cats and running around with their hair on fire". That sounds both amazing and nothing whatsoever like If You Ever Go to Houston, an amiable mid-paced blues. At best you could argue that it displays a certain quirkiness by foregrounding accordion rather than guitar, but then so did the theme tune to 'Allo 'Allo!
The irritating thing is that all this tends to render perfectly good albums underwhelming. There are many great things about Together Through Life, including the rumba-ish groove of Beyond Here Lies Nothing; the way Dylan's ruined gurgle of a voice - a more adaptable instrument than you might imagine - lends Life Is Hard's love lost saga a moving, broken quality and the brooding, witheringly sarky closer It's All Good, a litany of modern ills flippantly dismissed with the titular phrase. But if you come to it expecting a life-changing artistic statement performed by people playing like their hair's on fire, you're apt to feel short-changed, not least when you run up against some of the album's less distinguished moments. If a band in a pub started playing the ploddy blues of Jolene, you'd tut and talk over it.
As it is, it'll get drowned out by a different kind of clamour, one that perhaps has less to do with the music Dylan now makes than with the baby boomers' refusal to let go of popular culture. It serves all that prating about how nothing can match the 60s to suggest one of that era's heroes is still operating with his powers undiminished. But the reality is less exciting, as Together Through Life - neither masterpiece nor disaster - proves.
