Was the Western Tanager id from the other day wrong? Kim is now wondering, based on some American Goldfinch sightings yesterday by birders at Rinehart Canyon …

Dylan: Aftermath
Brother Dennis directs us to this provocative 37-album list by Andrew Krell in the The Daily Beast purporting to be “The Definitive Ranking of Bob Dylan Studio Albums, From Worst to Best“. Krell and I are roughly in sync mostly at the extremes of the best vs. the worst, with some discordance in the middle. Reassuringly, Krell clearly recognizes the awfulness of the Christmas of the Heart album. But I think he overrates Time Out of Mind, but just slightly. And, yes, the original Basement Tapes contained important raw material, but the audio quality makes it almost unlistenable for me. And so on. Great fun.
