Dylan Cover #734 Dave Mason "All Along The Watchtower"

In this ongoing Monday Series we will be exploring various artists versions of Bob Dylan song's. Today's tune is a live cover by Dave Mason performing "All Along The Watchtower" 

Thoughts on Original:
From our first take on a cover of this:
There are certain songs we are surprised we missed cover versions of in the Bard's back catalog...but "All Along The Watchtower" isn't one of them. There is a reason we haven't covered a cover version (confusing). As Wilson mentioned in his post back in cover #44 there is only one true version of this song...and that is Mr. Jimi's.

Live Review: Total Bummer Fest 5/30/26 Knockdown Center, Queens, NY

Total Bummer Fest 

5/30/26 Knockdown Center, Queens, NY

"It can't be a Total Bummer with Flipper!" yelled Matt Korvette, who is taking over the lead vocal role for 80's punks Flipper during their 2026 tour. That journey had a stop on May 30th at a new festival in Maspeth Queens, titled Total Bummer. The two day fest paired some newer punk/noise rock bands with a few legends in the genre. The spacious Knockdown Center was not sold out for day one of the festival but still had a large crowd filling the inside/outside arts venue.

Album Review: Bullseye - Bullseye EP

Bullseye

S/T

***and1/2 out of *****

Expanding from a lo-fi/bedroom pop project from Jake Barczak into a full fledge band, Bullseye's self-titled EP is a winning mix of fuzzy indie rock that flirts with a host of genres but manages to make its own way. 

Sazerwrap 2026

In years past we have delivered a Sazerwrap to catalog our personal New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival experience, so we will continue that this year.
