In His Own Words: Why Bob Dylan Paints
In the introduction to a new exhibition of his landscapes opening Saturday at London’s Halcyon Gallery, the recent Nobel laureate says, “The idea was to create pictures that would not be misinterpreted or misunderstood by me or anybody else.”

This is fascinating and Tapscott knows his business. Encoding the music business into the Block Chain is a great idea!

BLOCK CHAIN -2: Music Is Broken
What is required is a decentralized system that incentivizes individuals to act unilaterally; automates the management of royalties and rights around the world; allows users to license tracks in a single transaction; rewards participants for value-creation rather than structural incumbency; and reduces distortions and friction in the market.

Age-ism. They never heard of it and if they did I believe they would ignore it as they ignored sex-ism, rac-ism, and classic-ism. Be yourself always.
The Rolling Stones have gone back to their roots to create an album of blues covers for their next record.

Jeffrey Morgan – Review of the album Tiles from the Amber Room
SIZZLING ROCK PLATTER OF THE WEEK: Desmond Grundy – Tiles From The Amber Room (Mouthful Of Records) :: In case you weren’t paying attention the first time around and don’t remember what I said about DG’s first self released album Oddly Enough way back in MB278, I’ll reiterate for ya:
“So I’m spinnin’ the first song and suddenly thinking that, no, the absolute last thing I wanna do is say that Desmond is the new Lou Reed ’cause he seems to be way too normal to be saddled with that kind of calamitous tag. But every time I hear the gnarly destorto guitar grinding up behind him, I get flummoxed into thinking that I’m listening to some kinda vintage Velvet Underground gradation. And suddenly I’m thinking, yes, that’s cool because nobody sounds like Unca Lou anymore—not even the old reprobate himself ’cause he’s way too normal these days to be saddled with that kind of calamitous tag.”
In other words, I didn’t need to have the wisdom of Solomon to know that this here Grundy had what we in the rock writin’ biz call potential. But the big question on every seasoned tout’s mind the second time around is: can Desmond deck ya again? Well, as my old pal the Kingfish would say: “He sho’ nuff can!”
First of all, the album title is straight outta spooky Lynch City where the busses never run on time—if ever. Even better, he plays all of the instruments by himself in the best Todd Rundgren studio-spazz tradition. Finally, his voice—which vacillates between Loaded romance and Tonight’s The Night dissipation—is buried beneath a swirling miasma of destorto fuzzed up beach blanket bohemia that makes Exile On Aladdin Sane St. sound like like Wish You Were Here.
I just hope that his next album sucks ’cause I’m getting tired of sounding like a palooka from Payolaville.’
