To continue down the long, winding, strange road, which is highway Dylan, Bob Dylan has turned to being a DJ. Dylan has launched “Theme Time Radio Hour”, available on XM Radio (XM Channel 40), introducing his favorite records, organized each week around a different theme — like cars, drinking or, this week’s theme, weather.

Who knew that the once reclusive Dylan had such an eclectic musical taste. Some of the artists featured in his collection are: LL Cool J, Muddy Waters, and Buck Owens. Talk about variety!

Most of the shows are recorded from the tour Dylan is on while traveling between gigs. Some are recorded at home, some at where ever Dylan happens to be when the mood strikes, but Dylan has always been his own man, doing his own thing, on his time schedule.

These will probably be podcasts soon, so if you’re not a subscriber to XM, just hang in there and I’m sure you’ll get a chance to listen this gems.

Somehow in the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I missed posting this on Friday. The Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Film Festival kicks off on Friday April 28th. Hot Docs is the largest documentary film festival in North America.

With its lively mix of public and professional events, Hot Docs is the ideal North American market and meeting place for the documentary industry. Last year, the festival attracted over 1700 delegates, including documentary filmmakers, buyers, programmers, distributors and commissioning editors from around the world.

If your in or around Toronto, be sure and stop by.
