Sorry, for the local political talk, I'm sure that is about as boring as it gets for some folks here, so as sort of an apology for posting that stuff here on this board here's some music and film stuff.

I am digging Bob Dylan's new record. Amazing roll the guy has been on and this one makes a nice follow-up to Modern Times. I actually burned a disc of stuff from the new one, Modern Times, and Love and Theft and that's what has been in the player in the car all week.

Also I've really been enjoying The Derek Trucks Band, Trucks is just a great guitar player and every record I've heard from him has been very impressive. Love his slide playing, sort of a Lowell George feeling.

And some movies I recommend:

That's Clapton on guitar in that trailer for The Hit, by the way.

One of the great films shot in Boston!

That's John Huston's Wise Blood.

And here's a clip from Nickelodeon from Peter Bogdanovich:

and here's one from a very well known musician's son:

then there's always Jim Jarmusch...
