T Bone Burnett & Michael Goldberg To Discuss ‘Basement Tapes’ On Triple R Radio – Listen Online!

album, audio, Bob Dylan, interview, Michael Goldberg, Music, news, radio, , , , , , , , , ,

I’ll be discussing the Basement Tapes with DJ Brian Wise on his Melbourne, Australia radio show, Off The Record, on Triple R radio at 9:45 Australian time.

If you miss the live broadcast, the show will be available on-demand a few days after it airs and I’ll be doing a post about that with a link to the stream.

But listen live, it’s more fun.

I’ll talk about why the Basement Tapes are important, the context for their creation and more.

Following me Brian Wise will interview T Bone Burnett about the Basement Tapes and the New Basement Tapes album Burnett produced with Elvis Costello, Jim James ad others. Should make for a great show if you care about Bob Dylan.

Since the show is broadcast in Australia, those of us in the U.S. should tune in on Friday November 14 in the afternoon at 2:45 pm, and if you’re elsewhere in the world, you can figure out when to tune in easy enough. Use this time zone converter.

Video/Audio: Bob Dylan & Tom Waits on ‘Family Guy’; Tom Waits Sends Audio Oddities To Bob Dylan

Some might find this silly, which it is, but it’s kinda funny too. Caricatures of Bob Dylan and Tom Waits on the cartoon, “Family Guy”:

As Bob Dylan tells it, he would let Tom Waits know in advance about the theme of an upcoming “Theme Time Radio Hour” and soon enough a cassette would arrive in the mail from Waits with the eccentric singer offering up some obscure but relevant info. Hear Waits talk about carrier pigeons, sacred body parts in rural China, the roots of the expression “baker’s dozen” and more.

Listen to Dylan and Waits:

The War On Drugs have caught the ire of Sun Kil Moon’s Mark Kozelek recently but we don’t have to go there.

Rather, we can listen to the version of “Tangled Up In Blue” they performed at Minnesota’s 89.3.

The group is led by singer/guitarist Adam Granduciel and includes David Hartley (bass, guitar), Robbie Bennett (keyboards, guitar) and Patrick Berkery (drums).

They’re from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

You’ll find The War On Drugs’ “Tangles Up In Blue” here.

Audio: ‘Michael Goldberg On Dylan In True Love Scars!’ on Australian Radio – Listen Now – Plus David Kinney & Bill Wyman on Dylan

Bob Dylan, book, books, Michael Goldberg, Music, news, True Love Scars, , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Recently I was interviewed at length by Triple R radio’s Brian Wise, who DJ’s a three-hour show every week called “Off the Record.”

Last Saturday the first of four or five segments from the interview aired on “Off the Record.” That segment focused on Bob Dylan and included some discussion of why Dylan is so important to the narrator of my novel, True Love Scars.

As part of his show, Wise also interviewed David Kinney, author of The Dylanologists, and music critic Bill Wyman talking about Dylan.

I was also recorded reading from my True Love Scars, and two sections about Dylan are part of the first segment.

You’ll find a transcript of the interview here at the Australian Addicted To Noise site, but if you listen you’ll hear me read two excerpts from the novel that are about how Bob Dylan has impacted the narrator’s life.

The Kinney and Wyman interviews follow the one with me.

Listen to “Off the Record” here.

Continuing the advance promotion of Spoon’s upcoming album, They Want My Soul, Britt Daniel performed acoustic versions of two of the songs, “Rent I Pay” and “Rainy Taxi,” on BBC Radio 6.

Talking about being a musician Daniels said:

“There was a long time where there was a lot of not-fun stuff we would do and a lot of scrounging, but I knew this was the only thing I wanted to do and I just kept pushing forward. Now there’s a little more success and it really does make things easier when you get to spend a few more bucks to record a record. You can stay in a hotel instead of a friend’s floor.”
