Ep. #1152: Ray Padgett on Bob Dylan’s ‘The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings’

Ray Padgett returns to discuss Bob Dylan’s The Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1976 Live Recordings, his role as a respected Dylan scholar, exactly why we are receiving a 39 CD Dylan box set in 2026, comparing the two distinctive legs of the Rolling Thunder Revue Tour and why the 1976 edition has clearly gotten a bad rap, how Dylan’s personal life may have informed his mood and behaviour on this tour, why he surprised his bandmates and fans so much back then, the possible influence that Bruce Springsteen and punk had on Dylan, some of this set’s key and most memorable performances, why the set doesn’t include any footage from this well-documented tour, Ray’s Rolling Thunder ’76 Day by Day zine, other future plans, and much more.

Ep. #1143: Lex Walton

Lex Walton is here to discuss ULTIMATE LOVE FOREVER, being displaced by an apartment fire and rescuing her damaged, beloved Matsumoku guitar, a cleansing post-disaster reset, figuring out her singing voice generally and after transitioning, why the vocal registers of singers like John Maus, Nico, and Ezra Furman resonate with her, pondering righteous violence in the U.S.A., how she got into music and what inspired her socio-political outspokenness, feeling less alone when colleagues like Cameron Winter release pointed songs, the apparent end of civility in modern political discourse, working with Wolf Parade’s Dan Boeckner and critiquing legacy indie-rock, the undeniable joy of receiving a Best New Music designation, writing new songs, potential live dates, other future plans, and much more.
