Right as rain, the show begins with Islands, described by Kelly as akin to "sci-fi merry-go-rounds," "Community hold music," and "half Randy Newman, half SNL theme song," to say nothing of the organ that "turns it into a clown nightmare" and "porny" synths. - "Right As Rain" (4:30) - "Street Walker" (6:00) - "Let the Night Fall" (7:50) - "Ain't That A Lot of Love" (8:45) - "Christmas Must Be Tonight" (10:00) - "Islands" (12:20) - "The Saga of Pepote Rogue" (14:00) - "Georgia on My Mind" (16:30) - "Knockin' Last John" (17:30) - "Livin' in a Dream."

Sign on the Window isn't the Bob Dylan podcast you need, but it's definitely the one that you want! Each week we select a Dylan song at random, live with the song for a week (or two) and then get together to discuss. This week is Dylan's classic, "With God on Our Side" from 1964.
This week we listen a few versions of the song through the years(6:20), its relation to "The Patriot Game" (19:00), before breaking down what Dylan is trying to achieve verse-by-verse (28:35).

Sign on the Window is your Bob Dylan podcast! This episode features our second song off 2012's Tempest so far, "Soon After Midnight."

Later this week: the Sleater-Kinney Over the Week crew will talk Sleater-Kinney in our Mixed Up Confusion studio. If you haven't listened to their latest episode, "Ironclad," do it now!
Words & Guitar continues to understand we aren't the Sleater-Kinney podcast you need, while striving to remain the one that you want! In case you forgot: each episode, we randomly select a Sleater-Kinney song, live with the song for a week (or two) and then get together to discuss. This week, episode 97, "Ironclad" off 2000's All Hands on the Bad One.
We discuss the song's context (4:00) and comparisons to The Hot Rock and Dig Me Out; Daniel talks us through the Monitor-Merrimack ironclad battle referenced in the song (8:45) and talk about the song itself as metaphor and guide for your daily life (17:00). Recommended this week: Daniel won the lottery to see Hamilton in Portland (!!!) and talked briefly about the experience. Kelly is in the middle of Jessica Jones' second season on Netflix.

In two weeks: I've got a date with the fairy queen
Mixed Up Confusion is our vehicle to discuss the culture that surrounds our weekly conversation about Bob Dylan. This week, we dive into 1965! Before you begin, have a look at our 1965 playlist.
This episode, we begin with Billboard's Top 10 of songs of 1965 followed by which songs were impacting the culture that was just beginning to boil over. We spend a good deal of time on The Impressions' "People Get Ready," James Brown's "Papa Got a Brand New Bag," The Byrds "Mr. Tambourine Man" and The Rolling Stones "I Can't Get No Satisfaction." From there, we talk Simon & Garfunkel, The Who, Phil Ochs, Jackson C. Frank, The Beatles, The Kinks, The Shangri-La's, Otis Redding, and finally, the great Nina Simone.

Next week: Lost time is not found again.
Two white horses carried us past the last week and into another new episode of Sign on the Window, the weekly Bob Dylan podcast that picks at random and lets it consume their very existence.

Next week: We'll try not to turn our backs as you slowly die...
Sign on the Window is a weekly podcast where we randomly select a Bob Dylan song, sit with it for a week, and then confer about it with mics in our face. This week, because there's two hosts, it wasn't up to anyone by themselves, "Up to Me."
We talk alternate Blood on the Tracks, compare "Tangled Up in Blue," Kelly rearranges the verses into an epic you'll need to hear, and listen to baby Daniel's cover of this song, recorded over a decade ago! (Which you can find on our Twitter, or, if you're not there, our Soundcloud.)

Next week: Bringing cleaning supplies to the local cemetery
Sign on the Window is like that necktie and your Panama hat... it helps you look good in the face of utter destruction. Each week we listen to a random Bob Dylan song and this week, from 1976, "Black Diamond Bay."
We talk context (5:45), the merits of traveling over staying in LA drinking a beer (12:00),the song itself (23:00, theories (30:00) and storytelling. We talk Conrad, Achebe, and Kendrick Lamar so buckle up.

Next week: Another hard-luck story that you're gonna hear
The first Mixed Up Confusion of 2018 isn't one that we planned for or hoped to do. Dolores O'Riordan of The Cranberries passed away on January 15, 2018. Hugely influential in Kelly's life, we couldn't not talk about them. Perhaps it's best to note the times for the music we play for you to try to get the gist of how we approached our week of listening. We began with "Empty" (8:05), "Zombie" (12:45), "Copycat" (16:50), "Salvation" (26:00), "I Shot John Lennon" (28:30), "Dreams" (30:15), "Wake Up and Smell the Coffee" (35:00) and "Roses" (41:30). RIP Dolores.

Sign on the Window is the Bob Dylan podcast that you need but maybe not the one you want. Every week we select a Bob Dylan song at random, live with it, then come back to talk about it. This week: "Sara" off 1976's Desire.
Daniel and Kelly dive deep into Sara and Bob. She's one of those cornerstones on which Dylan, the singer-songwriter at least, rests and we've talked about her circuitously, so why not just dive in? We talk Sara, Bob, the lyrics, what constitutes a love song, and how DESIRE and Scarlet Rivera can seemingly never falter in Kelly's ears.

Next week: looking into a stagnant pool
Sign on the Window is a Bob Dylan podcast where we randomly select a song, listen to it for a week, then dive into it. This week (well, last week) we discussed "Born in Time" off 1990's Under the Red Sky (and its Oh, Mercy aspirants).
A pretty straight-forward episode where we talk mood, theme, and the weather.

Next "week:" Don't ever leave me, don't ever go...
"Shakespeare's last play was called The Tempest. It wasn't called just plain Tempest. The name of my record is just plain . It's two different titles."
Season 2 has officially begun. This week, Daniel and Kelly look at 2012's "Pay in Blood" from Tempest.
They talk context, Dylan's voice, Obama, C.L. Blood and the Civil War and slavery. We aren't starting small in 2018.

To is a very special New Years Day short episode from Sign on the Window! We've had a lot of fun this last week but today, we're picking our first song of 2018, looking at Woody Guthrie's 1943 New Years Rulin's, and listening to the song I've begun every New Year since 2010. 2018 is gonna be huge, and amazing, and we can't wait to have you along for the ride.

We'll be back on Sunday to rank our Dylan songs from Season 1. See you then!
To piggyback on our Christmas episode, Kelly and I also talked for a few minutes about something crazy we did this year: SIGN ON THE WINDOW. If you've ever thought about doing a podcast, or just doing the thing, maybe there's some inspiration inside, maybe? Otherwise, we just talk about how we went from talkers to doers and how we're excited to get into Season 2!

Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas from Sign on the Window! This Christmas, unwrap our (and your) newest tradition. We dive into Bob Dylan's 2009 Christmas in the Heart.
In contrasting this deeply misunderstood record, we cast Dylan up against the heavyweights of North Pole karaoke bars: Gladys Knight and the Pips, Destiny's Child, Christina Aguilera, Dean Martin, Dolly Parton, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, and Nat King Cole - to name a few.
To follow along, please head over to Spotify for our Christmas 2017 playlist.

We'll see you Tuesday for another special episode!
Sign on the Window presents... Truuuuuuuue Crime! Spooky! Because Hollis Brown committed the unspeakable (but singable) and we didn't have room, here's what Mixed Up Confusion was created to serve! Today we talk famous cases of familicide.
We got the heavy hitters: Robert William Fisher, Bradford Bishop, Chris Benoit, Lizzy Borden. We got the historical: Abel Clemmons, Captain James Purrington, Thomas George Woolfolk. We got the early 20th century: George Hassell, Charlie Lawson. We got people too close to today that'll make you feel downright horrible. Daniel also becomes a newsie when he reads the headlines like Rosa Wurzer's from 1901: "KILLS HER SIX CHILDREN.; Crazed by Poverty, Woman Throws Them in a Well, Jumps In, and Deliberately Drowns Them." Or Edwin Stephens from 1905: "INSANE SHOTS END FAMILY. HORRIBLE TRAGEDY AT A ROSS VALLEY CHICKEN RANCH; Sickly Stephens Murders Wife and Three Children in Their Beds, Fatally Shoots Two Remaining Children, Fires at Milkman, Then Takes His Own Life." In the end, John Boecker in 1897 and Lillie May Curtis in 1938 connected (and still connects) "Ballad of Hollis Brown" to this day: "IOWA FARMER'S AWFUL ACT; John Boecker Killed His Wife and Five Children at Night and Then Committed Suicide. ANOTHER CHILD FATALLY SHOT No Motive for the Tragedy Yet Disclosed, Although It is Intimated that There Was Trouble About the Farm;" and "A mother who told officers she was ill and unable to provide for her family killed six of her nine children as they slept at a lonely farm, home near here last night, kissing each good-bye before and after shooting them."

“Preach what ought to be but ensure it never is in the present tense.”
Welcome to the final episode of Season 1 of Sign on the Window! This week, we leave you with the exquisite "Ballad of Hollis Brown" and talk Exodusters, mass murderers, the number seven and if there is any light left after Dylan's final chord.

Join us on Thursday for a special edition of Mixed Up Confusion!!! Next episode: Ho Ho Ho!
Sign on the Window is a weekly podcast where we randomly select a Bob Dylan song, listen to it for a week, then report back. This week, we listened to “Yea! Heavy and a Bottle of Bread” from the legendary Basement Tapes (our 4th of the season).
We talk context, we talk bread and bread (6:15), we talk coded language and free-writing and the logistics of having one foot in reality and the other in a Dalí painting (20:00). Paul Williams described this as one of Dylan’s “most charming performances” and we’d have to agree. While we’d understand if this didn’t exist, we’re very happy it does exist!

This week, because of Thanksgiving getting all up in the way, Sign on the Window decided its better late than never to go the movies! We watched 2007's I'M NOT THERE and talked about it immediately afterward. Lots of love, little confusion. A new holiday tradition in the making?!

This week, Daniel and Kelly look at "Everything is Broken" from 1989's Oh, Mercy. They talk context, the song, personal and societal fissures, the non-judgmental nature of the narrator, broken fun facts and our own broken world. Plus, some admin and announcements at the end!

Next week: "What I'm talking about is traditional music, right, which is to say it's mathematical music, it's based on hexagons. But all these songs about, you know, roses growing out of people's brains and lovers who are really geese and swans are turning into angels - I mean, you know, they're not going to die. They're not folk music songs. They're political songs. They're already dead. You'd think that these traditional music people would - would gather that mystery, you know, is a traditional fact, you know, seeing as they're all so full of mystery."
This week at Sign on the Window, we look at the intersection of Bob Dylan and Lenny Bruce and why this song showed up on Bob's 1981 Shot of Love (18:40). It's also a great excuse for us to delve into other rabbit holes! We talk Lenny Bruce (11:00) throughout and look at his Berkeley Concert, specifically (26:30), and the history of comedy, in general. In light of what's going on in the world, this one felt as vital to talk through as any other episode.

We delve into Bob's last thoughts (7:00), look at Woody's final days (24:30) and let you chew on our last thoughts (39:30). We've had such an amazing time deep-diving Woody that we're sad it's over but there may not be a better way to close than this.

Part 2 (14:00) concerns Billy Bragg and Wilco's 1998 MERMAID AVENUE and the utter brilliance of Woody as a tender hearted and quite romantic songwriter. Part. 3 (45:00) looks toward the future.

Next week: Last Thoughts

In this episode, we begin with some words about Tom Petty before talking abut the man, his impact on Bob, and just what constitutes hard travelin'.

"Scat doesn't mean anything but just something to give a song a flavor." - Jelly Roll Morton
This week, Daniel and Kelly discuss "If Dogs Run Free," from 1970's New Morning. They discuss variations and scat and how the words made them think of the transcendentalists and the Beats.

This week, (a sick) Daniel and Kelly talk one of Dylan's prettiest tunes, "Seven Curses." They talk Judy Collins, rhyme structures, the power of the number seven, and figure out how Kelly loved this song despite its lack of harmonica.

"Harmonica and bass."
Welcome to Sign on the Window, the podcast where we randomly select a Dylan song (or in today's case, album), listen to it, reckon with it, live with it and then talk about it. We look to build context but also allow the songs to live in present day. This week, it's 1967's John Wesley Harding.
Daniel and Kelly present Moral Learning Corner, swoon over the harmonica and bass, and let a 50 year old album into their lives.

“Aegon. Oh, I hate it so much. It’s like naming two of your kids Jerry.”
This is it! Our final episode of our Game of Thrones coverage for this season. This episode is jammed pack with goodness. Daniel makes up for lost time and delivers on Bob Dylan references he's neglected all season (and sings a few songs, acappella for now but stay tuned!). They talk similarities with the season, writing oneself into a corner, how to punt a TV show into late 2018 while everyone flexes to everyone else and nothing happens (except for poor Thoros, who flexed to a dead bear), and discuss the difference between "Your Grace" and "My Lord." And they end the run with predictions and go on the record for what is likely to be an insane push to end. Hopefully we get Winds in the interim.
Around the map: King’s Landing (5:45), Winterfell (30:30), Dragonstone (44:00), Sex Boat (45:40), The Wall and final thoughts and predictions (48:50). <3

"Intentional planned mania."
Daniel and Kelly tackle Dylan's 1975 Rolling Thunder Revue. They break down the tracks, what it was like to be at the shows themselves, and count the harmonica solos. The episode also features cuts from other Rolling Thunder performances, not just the ones captured on this Bootleg Series. This is one you'll want to return to and read the full show notes on.

Next week: Sign on the Window's Moral Learning Corner.
"We're not a recap podcast. We're a map-based podcast."
Daniel and Kelly swear a lot while talking Season 7's penultimate "Beyond the Wall." They try to solve Winterfellian puzzles, break Westerosi wheels, pen odes to scouts and scouting parties, and muse over existential questions, like "There is no time." Oh, and we make our final predictions ahead of this season's finale.
Around the map: Beyond the Wall Pt. 1 (2:30), Winterfell (12:50), Dragonstone (22:50), Beyond the Wall Pt. 2 (26:50), Dany's boat (45:00) and Beyond the Wall Pt. 3 (47:50).

The first iteration of our theme song, the introduction to "Sign on the Window" by Kelly!
"I'm tired of podcasting about the achievements of better men."
This week, Daniel and Kelly tackle the divisive Episode 5, "Eastwatch." They talk about how Jaime and Bronn set the tone for the episode, the Gendry in the room, just who do these meta jokes appeal to, and "what the fuck kind of a fucking plan are they fucking trying to pull of here." All that and SO MUCH MORE.

This week, Daniel and Kelly talk Loot Trains, Bran as all-Brans (and maybe the Night King?), catspaws, the use of love as a the most effective war-time strategy, and Jon maybe losing King of the North in favor of King Beyond the Wall. But what does that mean when there is no wall? I think you know.

“Words I can hear, and remember, and sing back!”
This week, Daniel and Kelly listened to and now discuss "Man Gave Names to All the Animals," off 1979's Slow Train Coming. In addition to most of the episode being animal facts, they also didn't really hate the song as much as it maybe begs for. Gather up two of every bear, cow, bull, pig, sheep, snake?, legless lizard, orangutan, zebra, water buffalo, lemur, ibex and tapir, then meet us on the other side.

They pour out some poisoned wine for the Queen of Thorns. They muse on the epoch-defining first meeting between Dany and Jon, and how Dany, still playing Cersei's old game, is unwittingly winning when she lets Jon get dat dragonglass!

Then the stars aligned as Kelly got to nerd out on NIN's Add Violence (31:25) and Daniel got to nerd out on Propagandhi's latest track, "Victory Lap" (41:00). They close with Moodpaint and Yellow Straps (45:50) and Nicole Atkin's "Goodnight Rhonda Lee" and the values of recording live (49:40).

"Folk songs were the underground story. If someone were to ask what’s going on, 'Mr. Garfield’s been shot down, laid down. Nothing you can do. That’s what’s going on. Nobody needed to ask who Mr. Garfield was, they just nodded, they just knew.” - Bob Dylan
This week Daniel and Kelly listened to "Clothes Line Saga" off the The Basement Tapes. They talked about the recording process, the history of laundry and how to connect with this classic in a present tense.

Today Kelly and Daniel talk "I Want You" from Dylan's '66 masterpiece, Blonde on Blonde. They talk poetry, interpretation, and different theories about the song, Kelly also seeks a unified theory of "I Want You" that has nothing to do with Game of Thrones.
