Occasional Observations

It was, I suppose, inevitable. Bought my first Bob Dylan albums today, starting off with Blonde On Blonde and Highway 61 Revisited (and remastered, actually). Dylan has been a missing piece in the jugsaw of my musical tastes. He's revered by Bowie (these days), covered by Ferry and if I had a $ for every musician who cites him as an influence, I'd have enough money to buy the entire back catalog. But for now, baby steps. A whole new world awaits me.

The reason I went into the store was to buy the Cat Stevens album Mona Bone Jakon but it was out of stock. I got Tea For The Tillerman instead, which will keep Teaser And The Firecat company.

I bought the CDs, although they're probably never going to be played. Ripping is underway already.
