Flagging Down The Double Es: Ray Padgett : Bob Dylan LIVE!
Two Nights in Berkeley (by Ian Grant)
2026-06-13/14, Greek Theatre, Berkeley, CA
Bob Dylan has spent the last two nights performing at the famous Greek Theatre in Berkeley, California. Each night featured a slightly different setlist—the return of “I Shall Be Released” to close night one, and the perennial “Every Grain of Sand” to close night two.
Ian Grant attended both nights and reports in. Ian is probably well-known to many of you. He’s the co-host of two excellent podcasts, Jokermen and Never Ending Stories (and I’m not just saying that because I’m an occasional guest on both). Jokermen just finished their epic Beach Boys series (I talked about my favorite Brian Wilson solo album), and are taking a summer detour through indie punks Death Grips before revealing their next full series. Ian also writes for Aquarium Drunkard and GQ and has his own Substack, Hard Disk.
I’ll turn it over to Ian… (subscribe and catch Ian’s review here . . . .)

The Adverts: Crossing The Red Sea With The Adverts 1978 + Cast Of Thousands (The Ultimate Edition) 1980

The Adverts was an English punk rock band who formed in 1976 and broke up in 1979. They were one of the very best acts to come out of the first wave of English punk, with a stellar debut single, "One Chord Wonders" and "Gary Gilmore's Eyes". "Gary Gilmore's Eyes" reached the UK top 20 in August 1977. The Virgin Encyclopedia of 70s Music described bassist and founding member Gaye Advert as the "first female punk star". The band was formed in 1976 by T. V. Smith (Tim Smith) and Gaye Advert (Gaye Black). Smith was from the town of Okehampton in mid-Devon, and Advert was from Bideford, a small coastal town in North Devon. After relocating to London, the two young punks recruited guitarist Howard Pickup (Boak) and drummer Laurie Driver (Muscat), and the Adverts were born.
Duane Michals - Phartography
Duane Michals appears on several episodes of this Yale sponsored art podcast. And they mention that Michals had a series of PDFs he made to send to friends starting in 2020 during the pandemic, where he takes items from his archive, new drawings, etc. And the archive (with the short emails he attached them to) has 87 PDFs linked. They also link to his Vimeo account, with dozens of shorts. One of the PDFs, called Phartography, has an overpainted Cartier-Bresson photo.
