Shoes, part of an interview with Dylan from last December. He has seen Metallica twice but the kicker is the last sentence. Q How do you discover new music these days? Mostly by accident, by chance. If I go looking for something I usually don’t find it. In fact, I never find it. I walk into things intuitively when I’m most likely not looking for anything. Tiny Hill, Teddy Edwards, people like that. Obscure artists, obscure songs. There’s a song by Jimmy Webb that Frank Sinatra recorded called, “Whatever Happened to Christmas,” I think he recorded it in the 60s, but I just discovered it. Ella Fitzgerald’s “A-Tiskit, A-Tasket.” Janis Martin, the female Elvis. Have you heard her? Joe Turner is always surprising me with little nuances and things. I listen to Brenda Lee a lot. No matter how many times I hear her, it’s like I just discovered her. She’s such an old soul. Lately, I discovered a fantastic guitar player, Teddy Bunn. I heard him on a Meade Lux Lewis – Sid Catlett record. Performers and songwriters recommend things to me. Others I just wake up and they’re there. Some I’ve seen live. The Oasis Brothers, I like them both, Julian Casablancas, the Klaxons, Grace Potter. I’ve seen Metallica twice. I’ve made special efforts to see Jack White and Alex Turner. Zac Deputy, I’ve discovered him lately. He’s a one man show like Ed Sheeran, but he sits down when he plays. I’m a fan of Royal Blood, Celeste, Rag and Bone Man, Wu-Tang, Eminem, Nick Cave, Leonard Cohen, anybody with a feeling for words and language, anybody whose vision parallels mine. Waterloo Sunset is on my playlist and that was recorded in the 60s. Full interview. www.bobdylan.com/news/bob-dylan-interviewed-by-wall-street-journals-jeff-slate/

Fascinating response from Dylan. Will read the whole interview (if it isn't paywalled). New music is being made every day but even if it weren't, I can more than fill the rest of my life discovering that which has already been made.
I had completely forgotten about A Ticket a Tasket- which I remember liking many years ago, even when my taste for music was a lot more limited.

Grace Potter is great. Zappa is way up there.
