Inspired by Bob Dylan’s Subterranean Homesick Blues video, Leandro Senna, an Art Director and Graphic Designer from Brazil, has decided to recreate those cards from the video with handmade type. According to Leandro, it took him one month to complete 66 cards using only pencil, black tint pens and brushes. I’m sure many typography enthusiasts will find this clip amazing.

Corrine, Corrina (original title) was first recorded in 1928 and has since been recorded hundreds of times, with variations on the title, lyrics, melody and style. Beck recently offered up his own interpretation, which is to be included on a new compilation to raise money for the maternal health organization, Every Mother Counts.

His primary point of reference is Bob Dylan’s 1963 version, which tweaked the title and incorporated elements from a Robert Johnson song. But while Dylan’s version radiated the sunny zeitgeist of the early 60s, Beck mines the heartbroken lyrics for their emotional despair. It’s a haunting and poignant take on a song that will surely continue to inspire musicians for years to come.

With their sophomore album, Providence-based trio The Low Anthem continues their Cohen and Waits-inspired folk-pop sound. Oh My God Charlie Darwin is a solid effort, displaying the band’s superb songwriting skills, channeling a wide range of influences – Nick Drake, Simon & Garfunkel, Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy, Bob Dylan, even a slight tinge of Bruce Springsteen – but the disparate voices haven’t yet congealed into one that is uniquely of this band. It’s still a great listen, sure to make it onto the soundtracks of many a romance, and it should be interesting to see where this young band’s obvious potential will lead it.
