We’re less than a month away from the highly anticipated theatrical debut of Todd Haynes’ mostly authorized Bob Dylan biopic, I’m Not There. But many of us are probably just as interested in the film’s 34-song soundtrack, an album loaded with heavy hitters that comes out the day before Halloween.
Indie darling Stephen Malkmus joins the Million Dollar Bashers — John Medeski, Nels Cline, Lee Ranaldo and Steve Shelley, bass player Tony Garnier, and guitarist Smokey Hormel — for two tracks on the double disc: Ballad of a Thin Man and Maggie’s Farm. Pitchfork’s Forkcast is streaming the latter, and hot damn, it sounds fucking amazing (“fucking amazing” being a descriptor I picked up in J-school). Let’s all take a listen to Malkmus’ raucous version, which musically sounds eerily similar to a sped-up Grateful Dead’s take on the Lucious Bobby Dylan classic.

Great loose booty version. Gee-Tars all over the joint, can’t wait for the concert at the Beacon.
I’d love to hit that concert up, but I think I’m gonna be on the road for work…also sucks that it’s like $1 million for a ticket.
Speaking of biopics, it looks like they found someone to play Kurt Cobain in a new one…
