Listening to Albums, day 3
Is it controversial to criticize Bob Dylan? I feel like for a certain generation it is. Anyway. I listened to Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones today, both artists I was familiar with in a passing sense but had not done a deep dive into. Here are my thoughts!
"Highway 61 Revisted" by Bob Dylan (1966)
It took me a bit of time to settle into Bob Dylan's voice (which I kind of knew but wow it really goes to show how people will accept personality and songwriting in lieu of a showy voice), then when I did... I really wasn't sure how to feel. I also suspect that the following opinion is not going to be revolutionary, but here it is. The Beatles' songs on "Revolver" were perfectly short; meanwhile, as soon as I got into the groove of a song on "Highway 61 Revisited," it became musically very repetitive (thought I might be missing the cultural context that I'd need to appreciate the lyrics more).
Fortunately for me, there are 10 more Bob Dylan albums on this list, so I feel pretty certain I'll have a definitive opinion on Bob Dylan by the end. Just might not be a positive one.
Was it worth it? Ehhhh. How about a relisten? Unlikely, unless one of the 10 other Bob Dylan albums on this lists makes him click for me.
Standouts? "Ballad of a Thin Man" and "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry"
"Exile on Main Street" by the Rolling Stones (1972)
Did my lukewarm opinion of Bob Dylan make this album sound probably better than it otherwise would have to me? Yes. But is that bad? I don't think so!
I listen to a podcast called "A History of Rock Music in 500 Songs," and one thing I loved about listening to this album is how much I could hear what I've learned from that podcast, especially the Bo Diddley beat. I really enjoyed the big band aspects, Mick Jagger's vocals, and the guitar work (Al Perkins, I think?). The album did start to sound kind of same-y to me toward the middle-end, but I think that would work itself out after repeat listens.
Also I would like everyone to listen to "Ventilator Blues" and try to picture the face I made during it because DAMN that's my favorite song on this album.
Worth it? Yes! Worth a relisten? Yes :)
Standouts? "Sweet Virginia," "Sweet Black Angel," "Ventilator Blues"
"London Calling" by The Clash (1979)
The first one I was really excited for!! I was surprised by the ska-ish vibe on this album, and since ska's not really my thing, those weren't really my songs. But I really did enjoy this album!! Not even much to say about it, just excited to hear the songs again and get to know them better.
Worth the listen/relisten? Yes/yes!
Standouts? "Lost in the Supermarket," "The Guns of Brixton," "Koka Kola"

Review: Sex-Ed Revisited - The Vaults Festival
Review: Sex-Ed Revisited - The Vaults Festival @JenLaishley ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Sex-Ed Revisited is not only one of the funniest pieces of theatre I’ve seen but also one of the most educational”.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ By Jennifer Laishley Female ejaculation was outlawed in pornography by Theresa May’s government! One of the many interesting facts I learnt at the ‘Oh! Oh! Oh!’ Group. Late on a Friday night I learnt all the things I should have learnt in school about sex. Holly Delefortrie’s show is a masterclass in comedy, audience interaction and education. Holly possesses the rare ability to make…

Did not expect those posts about Theo's snubbing at MCM London (this has sense been clarified and is no longer entirely relevant but the rest still is) and BG3 fandom racism to breach containment so hard and I'm kind of regretting not including something more actionable in the posts, so I'll do that here. You are encouraged to reblog this, repost these links on your own, or add your own suggestions.
If you are bothered by Wyll's lack of content in the game compared to other characters you can submit feedback to Larian. While this carries no guarantee, our odds of them revisiting him and doing him justice are a lot better if we show them that there's interest.
This is the link to their feedback page. Select "feedback" in the drop down menu that says "report type". For your convenience, this is the current version number of the game as of October 30th (patch #3):
v4.1.1.3767641
---
There is also a Wyllvember event taking place on twitter and tumblr during November 1 - November 7th to show some love for him via fanworks. You can find the prompt lists here:
Twitter
Tumblr
---
Here is Theo's Cameo if you'd like a personal message from him, would like him to read or respond to something as Wyll, etc.
---
For writers and/or people wanting to examine their biases in general in relation to black characters, I would also recommend perusing some of the black focused tags on this blog (Writing With Color) as they have a lot of great resources when it comes to tropes, stereotypes, and biases in media.
This is also a great resource in general and I recommend all writers bookmark it!

Andrew Scott, Vogue: April 2024.
by Zing Tsjeng, Photos by Annie Leibovitz
Ripley, in other words, is the hero of the tale. “That’s why he fascinates so many,” says Scott. “There’s been so many iterations of him. I think it’s because people root for him.” Actors like Alain Delon and Dennis Hopper have tried the role; Matt Damon played him as an obsequious, lower-class naïf; John Malkovich, as a slimy, camp killer. Scott’s Ripley is different; a watchful loner escaping rodent-infested poverty, more at home among art than he is around people. Musician and actor Johnny Flynn plays his first victim—the monied Dickie Greenleaf—and Dakota Fanning is Dickie’s suspicious ex-girlfriend. “I find Tom quite vulnerable,” Scott tells me. “I don’t think he’s necessarily lonely, but I certainly think he’s solitary…. He seems to me by his nature that he just can’t fit in. He’s trying to survive.”
In Ripley, Zaillian extracts maximum Hitchcockian dread from every creaky footstep. But most sinister of all is Scott’s face, which exhibits a sharklike steeliness throughout. It’s a performance that exudes queasy force. Is Ripley a scammer, a psychopath, or both? “There’s so many things lurking beneath him that I’ve been very reluctant to diagnose him with anything. I never thought of him as a sociopath or murderous,” Scott declares. “It’s up to everybody else to characterize him or call him whatever they want.”
As we weave through tourists near the Tower of London, barely anybody notices Scott, save for a faint glimmer of recognition among mainly young women. He seems to draw reassurance from it. “I don’t like to think about it too much, if I’m honest,” he muses of fame. “I find it a little bit, er, frightening.” He is known but not blockbuster-recognizable, although he is in the upcoming Back in Action with Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx. What stunts did he do? “I can’t give that away, I’m afraid, or somebody from Netflix will come and shoot me in the head.”
What’s been on Scott’s mind the most hasn’t been acting at all, in fact, but art. As a 17-year-old, he was offered his first movie role on the same day he was given a scholarship to study painting. He chose acting, but has recently been thinking about Oliver Burkeman’s philosophical self-help tract from 2021, Four Thousand Weeks, which makes the case for focusing on the five things you truly want to accomplish. “For me at the moment, it’s like, What do you want to do? What do you want to say?”
He scrolls through his phone to show me his work. There’s a watercolor of a couple arguing in a restaurant in rich reds and greens, line drawings of friends and people on the beach, and two self-portraits. “It’s a bit weird,” he acknowledges of his depiction of himself, all bulbous forehead and Pan-like tufts of hair. His brisk, nervy lines are reminiscent of Egon Schiele or Francis Bacon, who turns out to be one of his favorite painters. “Well, God, I’ll take that,” he mutters at the comparison. He would like someday to go to art school. “I don’t ever regret it,” he says of acting. “But I suppose you just get to a stage where you think, What else? That’s one of the big painful things in life for me, where you can’t quite live all the lives.” As he gets older, he feels the tug toward revisiting old working relationships, including with Waller-Bridge: “We’ve definitely got things cooking,” he smiles. “I’d love to work with her again. She’s just a singular, wonderful person.” For her part, Waller-Bridge says: “I’d love to see him do a fully unhinged slapstick comedy character. Someone who is outraged at everything, all of the time.”
As we round the pavement and the Tate Modern looms back into sight, he recalls a poster he received in 2017—a monstrously large graphic that detailed every week in a human life span. “It’s your entire life if you live to 80—you have to fill in all the bits that you’ve already lived,” he remembers in awe, “a visually terrifying gift.” What did he do with it? “I didn’t hold on to it for too long.” Easy come, easy go: We finally finish our loop around the Thames and, as Scott disappears back into the throng, anonymous just the way he likes it, it occurs to me that the actor has many lives to live yet. ■
