not only is bob dylan still alive and kicking, but his first new album in 5 years drops today. called modern times, the new record is seen as the third release in the outstanding trilogy that also includes time out of mind and love and theft. rolling stone magazine gave it 5 out of 5 stars, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s bad - give it a listen for yourself and report back here.

he’s touring too, and with some really cool bands. kings of leon will open from the tour’s kick-off through oct. 28, foo fighters will perform an acoustic set from oct. 29 through nov. 8, and the raconteurs have signed on for Nov. 9 through the finale on nov. 18. tour dates are after the jump.
