Seems like a slow week.

Has anyone produced a budots remix of "Choosin' Texas"?

Love that you cite Blonde on Blonde. In my opinion every middle 8 on that album is a parody. A deliberate nail in the coffin of an effect Dylan would drop thereafter.

That citation goes to Franklin Bruno! To be perfectly honest, I've never been a huge fan of B sections of any kind, would sooner take a strong chorus and a good solo.

Indeed. A critic once faulted me for not including middle 8s, so I wrote one for fun, but I prefer it when the feel of a song builds up without sharp detours, especially if I want the band to improvise a soundscape within those chords.

I like an intro that's different (Sweet Jane is a perfect example) and if I had a middle 8 I'd be tempted to stick it on the start of the song
