Mind Out Of Time 7/9/2001 3:01:46 PM

Consider the singing voice of Bob Dylan. A lot of people say the guy can't sing. But it's not that simple. He is singing. The problem is that he is singing so far in the future that we can't yet hear the music. Other artists can sing his tunes and we hear that all right. Given enough time, enough years, that gravel-like voice will sound as sweet to our ears as any velvet-toned singer. Dylan's voice is all about microtones and inflection. For now that voice is hidden from our ears in time so tight that there is no room(no time) yet to hear it. Some folks can hear it now. I, for one, can hear the music in his voice. I know many of you can too. Someday everyone will be able to hear it, because the mind will unfold itself until even Dylan's voice is exposed for just what it is-a pure music.
What do you think? No, I am not on acid.

Billie Holiday is another voice that is filled with microtones that emerge through time like an ever-blooming flower. You can't hear the end or root of her singing, not yet anyway. As we try to listen to Holiday (as we try to grasp that voice), we are knocked out by the deep information there. We try to absorb it, and before we can get a handle on her voice (if we dare listen!) she entrances us in a delightful dreamlike groove and we are lost to criticism. Instead we groove on and reflect about this other dream that we call life. All great musicians do this to us.

I've never been a huge fan of Bob Dylan, but I can agree with you on Billie Holiday. Excellent! I was just recently introduced to Billie (about 3 years ago), and was impressed. And I actually don't personally own of her music, but I always enjoy listening to it.

If you would care to acquire a Billie Holiday CD, I strongly recommend The Complete Decca Recordings. It's a very classy two disc set and is a perfect place to start. Her music is a sweet, supersonic adventure. So, don't hurt yourself!
Thanks! 7/16/2001 1:46:24 PM

Thanks for the recommendation and warning! I think my father-in-law has that collection!

What have you heard about Dylan's upcoming albumn? Are you excited? What are your expectations? How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

What have you heard? Will your store offer Bob's new cd at a discount to your website members? It could be a good promotion, eh?

I just went to www.bobdylan.com and downloaded a song titled Po' Boy from Love and Theft! Ooooow, I can't wait til September 11. Will this CD be at the Syndicate right away in the morning, or what? Let me know what you think of this song. The Freddy line made me laugh out loud!
I'm also waiting!!! 8/21/2001 11:46:16 PM

Would you let me know about the limited edition cd? If there is such a thing could you reserve one for me? For some reason I have a feeling Bob's new cd is going to be very, very, very,very,very good.

Check it out! There will be a commercial for Love and Theft! There is a new song to be downloaded! It reminds me of 50's Rock...very cool! I know a place where there's still somethin' going on!

So, what are your favorite songs off of Love and Theft? I really like High Water, Po Boy, and the rhythmically surprising Cry Awhile. It does kick buttocks!

If I had to pick one favorite song, Sugar Baby would be it.
