Here’s a brand new demo of a remix I’ve been working on during the past weeks. I just finished it minutes ago and decided to publish it here for the first time. Let me know how you like it. It’s based on Bob Dylan’s funny 1988 track “Ugliest Girl in the World” from the album “Down In the Groove”. Enjoy!
Artist: TLH (The Lonesome Hobo) feat. Zimmy
Title: “I Made Love (With the Ugliest Girl)”
Version: Public Demo (May 17, 2009)
Only two more days until the worldwide release of Dylan’s new studio album “Together Through Life”. Check out “I Feel A Change Comin’ On” on bobdylan.com and post your rating and comment at http://tweedlr.com/albums/62/together-through-life/.
In the meantime you might have noticed that Sony/Legacy has released additional remastered Digipak versions of “The Basement Tapes”, “New Morning”, “Before the Flood” and “Dylan & The Dead” during the past weeks. Most of the other classic albums had already been remastered between 1999 and 2005. Unfortunately Sony did not take the chance to add bonus material to the new re-releases. Anyway due to the improved sound quality it’s definitely worth listening to the albums again.
On Monday, March 30, Clinton Heylin – author of the biography “Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades” and “Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions” – will speak about his new book “Revolution in the Air: The Songs of Bob Dylan, 1957-1963″. The most comprehensive book on Dylan’s song lyrics ever written, including songs that no one has ever heard, is the first of two volumes that tracks the creation of Dylan’s first 300 songs. It will possibly change how Dylan’s lyrics are interpreted and understood. Arranged in a surprising chronology of when each song was actually written rather than when it appeared on albums, it uncovers surprising facts spanning Dylan’s career up prior to Blood on the Tracks. Newly discovered manuscripts, anecdotal evidence, and a seemingly limitless knowledge of every Bob Dylan live performance contribute to this definitive resource.
Heylin’s event will take place on Monday, March 30 at 7pm at Spoonbill & Sugartown, Booksellers (218 Bedford Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11211). It is free and open to the public. A book signing and Q&A will follow.
Egbert Baqué, founder of the Egbert Baqué Contemporary Art Gallery in Berlin opens the exhibition “A Tribute to Bob Dylan” on March 28. Eleven artists approach the subject in very different ways: through portrait paintings, songs, lyrics, visual elements, related literature or other representations of an era.
Egbert Baqué has always been interested in Bob Dylan. Ever since founding the gallery, every year he has been hosting a Bob Dylan birthday party with a solo concert “Baqué Plays Dylan”. The current exhibition is taking place concurrently with Dylan’s European tour and the release of his new studio album “Together Through Life”, which will be released on April 28. “Eine Hommage an Bob Dylan/A Tribute to Bob Dylan” will be opened until May 24, 2009.
UPDATE FROM MAY 20, 2009:
The exhibition was extended and will now be shown until June 6.
