Weekend Listening

Here’s something different:  Tarot Suite.

I think it’s one of the greatest concept albums ever made, and certainly one of the most creative.  Combine gothic, baroque, romatic and hard rock… and you’ve only scratched the surface.

Enjoy.  (And see if you can identify which song features blues legend Rory Gallagher.)

Surprising Turnaround

…from me, that is.

I’ve made fun of that skinny little Brit actor with the fey name, Timothee Chalamet, currently the bonker of one of the Kardashian coven (Kimmy, Kluless, Kunty, whatever).

But the other night I watched him play a young Bob Dylan in  –Out Of Nowhere   A Complete Unknown  and his performance blew me out of my socks.  And I’m not even a fan of Dylan’s, to put it mildly.

Not only did Chalamet nail Dylan’s speaking voice and attitude, he also got the singing voice almost perfectly.  And the movie was a gem:  a little time capsule of the early 1960s — the best compliment I could pay it is that I wished it was longer.

Do yourself a favor, and watch it, and him.  (I can’t remember which channel it’s on, but whatever.)
