4 | gr_store_feet May 25th, 2011 at 4:58 amInteresting that the passport (in the photo) says “May 11, 1941″ as the date of birth (assuming that’s the line for the D.O.B.).
5 | Dave May 26th, 2011 at 6:32 amThough still relevant to me, I often get a sense that the current generation of music listeners, even those who consider themselves hipsters, chillwavers, folkwavers, etc., fail to appreciate how wonderful, revolutionary and relevant his music is. Am I the only one who hears “4th Time Around” in the melody and phrasing of “Lorelai” on the new Fleet Foxes? Happy Birthday Mr. Dylan!
6 | Dave May 26th, 2011 at 12:45 pmAnd by no means should my above comment be taken as a knock on Fleet Foxes. I think they are great. I just wish that there could be more diversity in the music that we hear on the radio so people can understand the depth to the music they are listening to. Which is one of the reasons I enjoy the AD show. I’ve said too much…
7 | Dave May 26th, 2011 at 1:50 pmDave – Listening to them back to back, I do see the link between “Lorelai” and “4th Time Around.” As a younger listener, I do sometimes get a sense of disconnect between older stuff like Dylan and the newer “indie” stuff. I think FFs are great because they have a very real sense of what’s come before (Dylan, Joni, S&G, etc.); I get the same sense from artists as diverse as Will Oldham, Deerhunter and the Black Keys—although their influences are certainly different. Unfortunately, it does seem like some of the other stuff getting coverage these days seems to exist in a vacuum void of something like musical heritage. I think some of this has to do with artists reaching for sounds outside of rock tradition, like electronic and so-called “world” music; other times, it’s just plain irreverent.
