At the very beginning of the year, I started a new series on my YouTube channel in which I set out to review Bob Dylan's studio albums in chronological order. I started back in January with 'The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan'. I didn't do a review of his debut self titled album from 1962 because most of the songs on there are covers and it took a little while longer for Bob to find his groove. I may do a review of it down the line, but for now I'm just getting stuck in with reviewing Freewheelin' onwards. After reviewing Freewhelin', I went on to review 'The Times They Are-A Changin'' and 'Another Side of Bob Dylan'. You can find the reviews below:
The Freewhelin' Bob Dylan
The Times They Are-A Changin'
Another Side of Bob Dylan
Please subscribe to my channel if you like what you see. I will be continuing with my Dylan album reviews throughout this year. I also have plenty of Dylan related videos up, as well as plenty on my vinyl collection!
I put up a new video the other day in response to my good friend Adam Nicholls' thread which revolved around the 50th anniversary of With The Beatles and the 45th anniversary of The White Album. It was a really interesting thread to answer and prompted me to go back and listen to these classics again.

14. The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest
13. Ballad of a Thin Man
12. Love Minus Zero/No Limit
11. Ballad of Hollis Brown

I have come back from the dead and finally released a couple of videos on my YouTube channel. This is the first one, just showing my most recent vinyl pick ups. I haven't bought many records but am very happy with what I have managed to find. I am hoping to get some money together over Christmas and put some of it into vinyl, so more updates are on the horizon.

I just started a second YouTube channel, just for the hell of it really! I have been watching more and more vlogs recently from various people on YouTube. I can't quite work out what it is about them that's so addictive, as often it is just documenting peoples daily lives, but I love it! I'm really gaining an insight into how other people live from day to day and that's helping me make more of myself too. So I though I'd try it myself.
I'm going to be uploading to the new channel from time to time so it would be cool if you could head over and subscribe. I made my first vlog yesterday which was really fun to do, but I think my editing skills have a way to go! I'm going to London at the weekend with my brother so the next one should be up then. Remember to check out my main channel (MrDylanRecords) for music and vinyl content.
Here is the second video I recorded over my long weekend. This is the first part of hopefully many more to come. I have over 25 unofficial Bob Dylan bootlegs and am still collecting. In this series I will just do a run through of my "essential", favourite bootlegs, starting from some of the large concert venues Dylan played in 1963.
Additional Details and download links on the bootlegs I mentioned:

I've had a productive long weekend video wise back at my home. Here is the first of them. I found out that my records had been put in the garage whilst I was away at uni, much to my dismay. After bringing them in and a bit of mellow recollection, I figured that shit just happens sometimes.
Check out my latest YouTube video counting down my 10 favourite albums of 2012! In a coming post I will analyse these albums in a bit more depth and expand it to my top 20 albums of the year.
