found the above joke somewhat too easy. Not very funny i.m.o. :)

Large vessels are usually called ships, not boats, I believe.

THAT’s the song I keep thinking of whenever anybody mentions the Titanic. Dr. Demento used to play it lots.

y’all need to hit YouTube and look up Jaime brockett’s tale of the sinking of the titanic. a classic 70s folk tale that Dylan WISHED he’d written!

Thank god we have people around to make these decisions for us in an objective fashion. We used to have to rely on individual tastes and preference.

He got the general musical sound of Dylan’s recent output pretty close (well, it’s most reminiscent of 1997′s Time Out Of Mind perhaps), combined with some 1975-style violin for flavor. The voice is pretty good, but is also 1975-era Dylan and nothing like his voice now.

That said… as huge of a fan of Dylan as I am, I cringe at the thought of a 15-minute song about the Titanic in Dylan’s modern style & voice.

edit: I started the video then scrolled down to read the comments while listening, then scrolled back up and saw the 1975 Dylan footage included in the video, so I guess that was actually the style he was going for and not Dylan’s modern stuff!

Every time I see this guy’s name and “music” in a headline I immediately think it’s Tim Hecker and it takes me a while to process what’s actually happening.

Didn’t work. Any other suggestions?

Unless I totally misunderstood the post, Dylan’s song isn’t out yet.

Welcome to the world of Tim Heidecker. Anything that’s a little pukey must be hilarious right?

For some reason I find the idea of parody-in-advance-of-the-original a little pukey.

Ain’t nothing compared to Jaime Brockett’s Legend of the USS Titanic:
