Sign on the Window

Sign on the Window isn't the Bob Dylan podcast you need, but it's definitely the one that you want! Each week we select a Dylan song at random, live with the song for a week (or two) and then get together to discuss. This week take a trip back to St. Patrick's Day with our FIRST EVER GUEST as we talk "Baby, I'm in the Mood For You." 

Officially a crowd, welcome Kindra to talk the song (6:00), the versions we listened to (10:00), mood, and a bit of Suze (19:00). We talk recommendations and pick our next episode.

Mixed Up Confusion is our vehicle to discuss the culture that surrounds our weekly conversation about Bob Dylan. This week we open Season 3 by looking back on our two months off, bookended by two shows: Tallest Man on Earth in November and Minus the Bear in their final Portland show in December. 

We begin with Tallest Man on Earth (3:30)before going to Kelly (15:00) talking "lo-fi hip hop" memes, Bonobo, Little People, and PUP. Daniel (22:30) shouts out the documentary Jazz, '60s playlists, Better Oblivion Community Center; and a few new books. We close with the farewell tour and final Portland show of a band that meant a lot to both of us for over a decade: Minus the Bear (28:00).

A huge part of Sign on the Window is acknowledging that we don't live in a vacuum. The world is so much wider than we could possibly know so in a special this year, Kelly and Daniel take a moment to look at the musicians who passed on in 2018. Naturally, the list is huge and not in any way complete. (At our website, you can find a breakdown of sorts.) Below is a timestamp for each month, up to December 1. - January (2:50) - February (13:00) - March (21:30) - April (27:30) - May (33:15) - June (38:30) - July (57:00) - August (59:00) - September (1:06:30) - October (1:13:30) - November (1:22:30) - Closing thoughts (1:34:45).
