Sign On The Window

The Saga of Joe South's bass, or, The Exasperation of Bob Johnston. Welcome to Episode 28 of Sign on the Window. This is a podcast where we randomly select a Bob Dylan song/album, listen to it for a week, live in its skin, and come back to talk about it. This week: "4th Time Around" from 1966's Blonde on Blonde. Daniel and Kelly talk the Beatles, Cutting Edge, Gia, relationships while avoiding the raining ash and fires just down the road from the Bunker. As always, full show notes at our website.

"Harmonica and bass." Welcome to Sign on the Window, the podcast where we randomly select a Dylan song (or in today's case, album), listen to it, reckon with it, live with it and then talk about it. We look to build context but also allow the songs to live in present day. This week, it's 1967's John Wesley Harding. Daniel and Kelly present Moral Learning Corner, swoon over the harmonica and bass, and let a 50 year old album into their lives. As always, full show notes at our website.

“Aegon. Oh, I hate it so much. It’s like naming two of your kids Jerry.” This is it! Our final episode of our Game of Thrones coverage for this season. This episode is jammed pack with goodness. Daniel makes up for lost time and delivers on Bob Dylan references he's neglected all season (and sings a few songs, acappella for now but stay tuned!). They talk similarities with the season, writing oneself into a corner, how to punt a TV show into late 2018 while everyone flexes to everyone else and nothing happens (except for poor Thoros, who flexed to a dead bear), and discuss the difference between "Your Grace" and "My Lord." And they end the run with predictions and go on the record for what is likely to be an insane push to end. Hopefully we get Winds in the interim. Around the map: King’s Landing (5:45), Winterfell (30:30), Dragonstone (44:00), Sex Boat (45:40), The Wall and final thoughts and predictions (48:50). <3As always, full show notes at our website.

"Intentional planned mania." Daniel and Kelly tackle Dylan's 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue. They break down the tracks, what it was like to be at the shows themselves, and count the harmonica solos. The episode also features cuts from other Rolling Thunder performances, not just the ones captured on this Bootleg Series. This is one you'll want to return to and read the full show notes on. As always, full show notes at our website.

"We're not a recap podcast. We're a map-based podcast." Daniel and Kelly swear a lot while talking Season 7's penultimate "Beyond the Wall." They try to solve Winterfellian puzzles, break Westerosi wheels, pen odes to scouts and scouting parties, and muse over existential questions, like "There is no time." Oh, and we make our final predictions ahead of this season's finale. Around the map: Beyond the Wall Pt. 1 (2:30), Winterfell (12:50), Dragonstone (22:50), Beyond the Wall Pt. 2 (26:50), Dany's boat (45:00) and Beyond the Wall Pt. 3 (47:50). As always, full show notes at our website.

“They say the North won’t accept a Southern Bob Dylan podcast… They will if their king does." This week, Daniel and Kelly talk Loot Trains, Bran as all-Brans (and maybe the Night King?), catspaws, the use of love as a the most effective war-time strategy, and Jon maybe losing King of the North in favor of King Beyond the Wall.

“Words I can hear, and remember, and sing back!” This week, Daniel and Kelly listened to and now discuss "Man Gave Names to All the Animals," off 1979's Slow Train Coming.

"Are you receiving my prayers through the noise and cosmic static?" We went a bit long but there's lots to talk about and lots of music to play.

"Folk songs were the underground story. If someone were to ask what’s going on, 'Mr. Garfield’s been shot down, laid down. Nothing you can do. That’s what’s going on. Nobody needed to ask who Mr. Garfield was, they just nodded, they just knew.” - Bob Dylan This week Daniel and Kelly listened to "Clothes Line Saga" off the The Basement Tapes. They talked about the recording process, the history of laundry and how to connect with this classic in a present tense. We are a real podcast! As always, full show notes at our website.
