@FranziaMom like it's all about 1) aging and 2) being in guitar music but played without guitars and it came out just after his 40th birthday. all of the songs deal with this in some way and they all do it really well. kinda the only time he was writing in that mode n he rly didn't miss
@FranziaMom goths is head n shoulders above the rest of these, there's great songs on most of em but goths is the only one i'm regularly coming back to and enjoying front to back. it's funny i don't think of JD as a very introspective writer but goths is very introspective & it really works
@fischybusinesss been wondering for years what "disloyal order of water buffaloes" could possibly be about. great arrangement, unimpeachably triumphant melody, maybe stump's best vocal performance on record. what the hell do any of those words mean. nothing has anything to do with anything.
One of the better arguments for holding on to your physical media: none of the streaming versions of "The Moon and Antarctica" have the segues from the CD.
I thought that when the Timmy Bob Dylan movie came out people would cause a hubbub about hurricane or neighborhood bully or something. Instead it seems like he’s getting canceled for going electric and away from protest music again. So much funnier thank you
