What Did Maggie’s Brother Ever Do To You?

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.

Malkmus

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.
