Born in Duluth, raised in Hibbing, and honing his sound in Minneapolis, Bob Dylan's Minnesota roots run deep

In this month's "A Closer Look with Laura Oakes," Laura taps into the anticipation surrounding "A Complete Unknown," the new movie on Bob Dylan's rise to fame, by honing in on his time in Minnesota. Born in Duluth, raised in Hibbing, discovering music in Minneapolis, Laura goes deep into the past on Robert Zimmerman's path to becoming Bob Dylan.

Oscar Nom Reactions - The 4 Horsemen of the Oscars Apocalypse - ORC 1/24/25

It’s almost Galentine’s Day and Valentine’s Day, so it’s the perfect time to hang out and watch a movie about love, loss, the power of friendship and Kevin Smith in a rare acting role that isn’t a cameo or self-referential, besides the jerseys. Andrew weighs in on recent releases Wolf Man, September 5, A Complete Unknown and Presence, whilst Johnny remembers the time he went and tried to fish, did he catch? Did he release? Did he ever go again (Spoiler on that last one, no). Somehow this becomes a checklist of connections that prove Madame Web was right all along.

302 - Catch And Release

On this episode, Shadan is joined by Brandon Lewis to discuss the recent Oscars controversy and how it might affect the voting process! We also talk about how CCA and PGA speeches could influence the race and is it really crazy to think A COMPLETE UNKNOWN could win Best Picture?

Lynn & Carl speak with Richard Harris & Joe Hanrahan who are starring in The Black Rep's Coconut Cake. They also all discuss A Complete Unknown and a preview of the Midnight Company's new season. Then Lynn saw the new releases: Bridget Jones: Mad about the Boy, We Live in Time, The Gorge, The Monkey and We Beat the Dream Team. Plus they end with the Theatre roundup.

Brad King talks with George Thorogood about his 50+ years in rock, his early influences, wanting to be a stand up comedian, the new Bob Dylan movie, and more!

GEORGE THOROGOOD INTERVIEW

Bob Dylan sings 'Song to Woody' on his first album. Singer-songwriter Mike Scantlebury has written 'Song to Bobby' and released it as a single. Now along comes a Tribute Band to provide their own version of the same song - a slightly different tune, but all the words are still there.
Thanks, Mike, for providing a platform to honour the great man in the same year as a new biopic is launched in the world, the film 'A Complete Unknown'. 

'Bob Dylan song' by Mike Scantlebury (cover by the Beaut Montana Band)

Tonebenders was able to do an episode with every sound team, that has been nominated in the Best Sound category, at this years Oscars.  So with the award show only a few days away, this week we are going to take listen to a selection of each interview, to try to get an idea of what was done on each film, to lead to it's nomination.  First up we will hear from Paul Massey, Ted Caplan and Don Sylvester from A Complete Unknown. That is followed by Hortense Bailly, Cyril Holtz, Aymeric Devoldère & Carolina Santana from Emilia Perez.  Jack Dolman, Nancy Nugent Title & John Marquis speak about their work on Wicked. The only animated film nominated, The Wild Robot, is represented by Gary Rizzo, Brian Chumney, Randy Thom & Leff Lefferts.  The final sound team I talk to is from Dune Part 2, with Richard King, Doug Hemphill and Ron Bartlett.  What a line up on this episode!

302 - 2025 Oscar Pool Sound Category Round Up

Jacob and Aaron are Dune it again: forming their annual Conclave to dissect The Substance of this year's Oscar's nominees. They sing the praises of the Wicked-ly talented cast of Anora, but have some Brutal(ist) opinions on the music of Emilia Perez. Both find I'm Still Here to be one of the best of the year, but, Boy, if you had a Nickel for every time they talk about Scooby-Doo 2 instead, you'd have a lot of nickels. The reasons why are A Complete Unknown.

The 2025 Oscars Best Picture Race - Reboot Already Underway

Mr Tambourine Man is my favourite Bob Dylan song. It's hard to imagine a world without this wonderful song in it...it feels lke it's existed forever. 
Mr Tambourine Man is one of the very first songs I learnt to play on guitar when I was about 14. I was inspired to play it again after seeing 'A Complete Unknown'. I've been playing it at gigs and people really love to hear it.
 

Mr. Tambourine Man

Das Kino hat mal wieder was zu bieten. Dennis und Tobit schnacken über allerlei Filmchen von heißerwarteten Beiträgen rekurrierender Regisseure bis zu kleinen Geheimtipps und Biopics, nach denen nicht so wirklich wer gefragt hat. Wenn sich künstliche Klone im Faschismus orientieren müssen, biologische Klone von Spielzeugaffen heimgesucht werden, Bob Dylan von Timothée Chalamet geklont wird und sich das Pflegepersonal im Krankenhaus über die Unmöglichkeit tatsächlichen Klonens aufregt, dann ist mal wieder die Zeit reif, Filmjoker zu hören!

GTF is heading to Africa for this week's home video reviews as we'll be looking at The Lion King prequel Mufasa & we'll also be taking a look back at A Complete Unknown, One of Them Days, Flight Risk, Dog Man, Companion & Love Hurts.

For this week's television reviews, we'll be looking at the series premiere of Guy Ritchie's latest gangster drama MobLand plus we'll also be continuing our look at the latest episodes of Dope Thief, Happy Face, Good American Family, The Hunting Party & The Studio.

April 7th 2025

I don’t know what you savages do in the rest of the world, but here in the fourth largest city in America, most theatres discount movie tickets on Tuesday night. The result, the Davis family has butts in seats, usually by five thirty, watching whatever it is we didn’t see the previous Friday. Tightwad Tuesday is a Davis family tradition to keep our cinemas alive. My son Luke and I made an astonishing amount of them since he got back from Deutschland, and we go over those 2024 releases here.  

 You can find the Super 70 Podcast wherever you find podcasts. You can find me, my book, and my blog at www.thatdylandavis.com and @thatdylandavis on threads, Letterboxd, and blusky. You can find Roziland MacPhail on Soundcloud and Facebook. You can find Luke across the street from Tempelhof Airport, probably in a Canadian Bar.

38.3 Tightwad Tuesday

Reprising our Joan'n'Bob act ( see Diamonds and Rust https://soundcloud.com/gareth-calway/diamonds-and-rust) with a return fixture, Bob's trademark protest song against one of his early women. His second album but the first to feature a more or less complete sweep of his own songs, unlike the first which mainly showcased him as a performer of other people's. In other words, the real Dylan. Who was the discarded lover? Some internal evidence suggests this may even be pre-New York with its rustic setting of roosters and dark roads and sense of setting out and travelling' on in which case it might be a memory of some Mid Western affair rather than Suzi Rotolo but who knows. "You just kinda wasted my precious time" is pretty damning but mild compared to some of his later accusations and restless attacks on whoever was upsetting him at the time. We both bought this album about 8 years after it came out probably on the strength of Blowing in the Wind as one of those must have vinyl classic albums from one of the masters of folk rock and Americana and fellow architect of the 60s (with the Beatles) first heard as children but now understood as teenagers and were sent back to it recently by the brilliant film about Dylan's early years (up to 1966) 'A Complete Unknown' which ends with him roaring  away from Pete Seeger type folk on a rocknroll motorbike. Around the time of Hendrix there was a rumour that Dylan couldn't really play guitar but made up for it with a unique dramatising voice and the poetry of the lyrics but one listen to the original will banish that thought: his guitar picking (honed by all those folk club performances) is astonishingly good and drives the song.. And contrary to most people's recall, this is not a solo track but has a band behind him playing drums, two bass guitars, piano and a second guitarist.  Our version concentrates on the heart-yearning pretty tune. We have  a female lead vocal, bass, percussion and add some vocal layers. On the liner notes Dylan protests that it isn't a (slow and easy going) love song. And so of course that's exactly the way we do it.

JAM stands for 'Jane and Mike' and you'll not just find them on Mixcloud but also Youtube and various websites and Blogs. It's modern songs, (in a folk idiom), radio shows in a 'Richard and Judy' idiot, and songs like 'Dit Dit Dit', (which, as we all know, stands for S.O.S. - good enough for The Titanic. Who knows, Salford might hit an iceberg, soon).

I am an artist, writer and musician from Hastings, UK.  I make slightly wonky acoustic folk-pop, often with unusual guitar tunings, along with instrumentals that mix acoustic and electronic textures. 

Musically my current obsession is Judee Sill.
But it always comes back to the music of my childhood- The Cocteau Twins, The Waterboys, ABBA, The Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush.

In a world littered with remakes, reboots, sequels, prequels, and cinematic universes, three friends gather each week to try to make sense of it all. Join Aaron Hahn, Jacob Lacy, and David Becker as they discuss the latest film releases, their all-time favorites, some of the worst films that they have ever seen, and much more.
