This week’s playlist, then. Still no sign of the complete Bob Dylan album, I’m afraid, though compensation of sorts comes from The Grateful Dead‘s “Rocking The Cradle”, which proves that their 1978 shows by the pyramids in Egypt weren’t quite as shabby as myth has suggested. “Fire On The Mountain” and “Shakedown Street”, in particular, are strong enough to make me want to re-evaluate that late ’70s studio stuff.
In other news, readers of this blog will be pleased to see that my self-improvement programme has begun with “Rumours”. But a return to usual practises this week, so I’ll avoid highlighting any real shit here (not sure there is any, to be honest; I love “Oh Carolina”) after the fallout from Playlist 31. . .
