This is Dick Annegarn’s new music video directed by Michel Gondry. And like all of Gondry’s work, it’s amazing. And I have almost no clue how he did it:
I mean, I can guess. It looks like stop action. But did Gondry use some sort of hocus pocus to make it look like he has stop action from what looks like several weeks of shooting? And that he pieced it all together in the editing room? Or is there some sort of trick?
I just got the first two volumes of The Best of Bob Dylan’s Theme Time Radio Hour in the mail (I’d completely forgotten I’d ordered it) and it’s AMAZING! You need it. You might not have known it before you started reading this, but you really need it.
The whole thing is like a cross section of fringe 20th century music. Blues, Jazz, Folk, early Rock & Roll, Bluegrass… it gives you the feeling that you’re listening to the music that’s always been rolling through Dylan’s subconscious. And in the 4 discs that came with the set, I think I’d only heard about 3 of the songs before. It’s truly a great collection.

– You too can get your own copy, bu as VSL explains, you have to order it from someplace outside the US — the powers that be didn’t want to deal with our annoying copyright laws.
Thanks VSL!
