Heads Up: American fans of the hilarious and twisted BBC/Adult Swim series, The Mighty Boosh – starring Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt – might want to schedule that long-planned trip to London for sometime between next Monday and the end of the year.

The show is entitled Brian Ferry versus the Jelly Fox, which makes sense when you know that Noel is a huge fan of the former Roxy Music front man (Ferry is referenced in the 2004 Mighty Boosh episode, Hitcher).

Roxy Music vocalist Bryan Ferry was born on this day, September 26th, in 1945. Gee whiz, what a great band (Favorite Roxy Music Song: “Street Life”). Bryan also recorded an amazing CD of Bob Dylan covers a couple of years ago, Dylanesque which is highly recommended listening. Happy Birthday, Bryan!

It is probably impossible for me to name just one favorite Bob Dylan song because, as the greatest living American songwriter, he has written practically every amazing song on the planet (with the exception of those written by any member of the Beatles, or Led Zeppelin). Think about it: “All Along the Watchtower,” “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” “My Back Pages,” “Tangled up in Blue,” these are all fantastic songs. Nobody can turn a phrase like Dylan. Continue reading Happy Birthday, Bob Dylan!→
