JOHNNY'S IN THE BASEMENT MIXING UP THE MEDECINE I'M ON THE PAVEMENT THINKING BOUT THE GOVERNMENT Some of my favourite Dylan track on this one. Was struck by how well passed the album is on this listen. And funny. I particularly latched to Bob Dylan's 115th Dream (and its flirtation with bisexuality). Also loved the miscegenation reveal at the end of Outlaw Blues

CONSTANT STRANGER YOU'RE A KIND PERSON YOU'RE A COLD PERSON TOO one of my favourite Joni album.

it took me a while and multiple tries, but i finally get this album and love it as much as i love other talking heads projects. it proves that the best way to convey the doom of modern living is not through drudgy gloomy sounds, but through perky synths and syncopated groovy beats. it makes the case that one wouldn't want to trade the hellish present for the promise of a better afterlife, because nothing happens there.
