After reading the letter on Gizmodo from Damian of OK Go, I have decided to do a post where I embed this video.  Major labels and corporations have this tenuous relationship with social media – clamoring for its attention while simultaneously doing crap-like things that dissuade the consumer from telling others what they like.  Read the letter and learn about how you can’t embed YouTube videos.  I’m a big fan of OK Go – one of the best concerts I’ve ever had in my life featured them.  It was at a rinky-dink dive bar in Hollywood where they ran down to the floor and did a live recording.  So here’s their latest song – This Too Shall Pass.

Bob Dylan is pretty much the songwriter/musician that I want to meet.  He’s such a great lyricist and his songs are so powerful – whether it spans politics, religion, or love.  There’s just this earthy-quality to his work that I really love.  I’m late in the game in appreciating his work (kind of happens when you’re born a few decades after…) as I first began my real exploration of his work in his album Modern Times.  His most recent album after that just dropped today.

I’m sampling it right now off of Paste Magazine’s Stream: Album Stream: Listen to Bob Dylan’s Together Through Life :: Featured Audio :: A/V :: Paste.

My first impression?  It’s great.  My favorites so far?  Jolene (not a cover of the Dolly Parton song), This Dream of You (sounds reminiscient of Spanish music in my neighborhood growing up), and I Feel a Change Comin’ On.
