For those looking for some quite obscure but historic tracks: Dylan for a time had his own radio show, and it is an absolute treasure.

FWIW, Avast Antivirus aborts connection as malware (URL:Blacklist). However, almost all other anti-virus programs do not. Consequently, I have reported it to Avast as a possible "false positive".

There must be an advertiser who may be a spammer who comes up on first load of the page, because my antivirus (ESET) also gave me a warning, then was fine when I went back a few moments later. So it may be necessary to go to the page twice, but it’s worth it.

I have tried to connect multiple times with the same result. However, assuming that it is a false positive, I would expect Avast to confirm and correct it soon.

For that matter, how often do you hear ANYTHING resembling quality music on the radio?

I only listen to Minnesota Public Radio... never commercial radio so I have no idea what others are hearing.

I love 'em both, but how often do you hear them on radio now, let alone 60 years down the road, like the Beatles and Dylan? Seems like a topic for its own thread....

 

They should be played in my humble opinion, but you'll more likely hear a cover.

Wise choice, and be thankful for that!

Martha Argerich plays Ravel's concerto handsomely and effortlessly. She seems to lack depth and intensity here, aided perhaps by the unremarkable contributions of the orchestra and conductor.

 

[AnotherSpin]

The young Israeli conductor seems to have little understanding of this music, but an abundance of chutzpah to step forward with his unimpressive and faint rendition of a symphony so often recorded most convincingly by the greats.

An All-Time favorite of mine since I bought the double-vinyl, November 1991 in Wiesbaden.
Favorite tracks by R.E.M, Dave McComb, John Cale ...

 

I used to read Les Inrockuptibles at the time that record was issued. Saw some of my best gigs in the early '90s.

A great follow-up to that album, with some memorable covers:

 

 

This one is also worth a listen:

I have a Glenlivet 21 here, but that's too special for this.
