    Cure For The Blues (His most well known CD)Knobby is a local legend where I live and he has the chops. It's a cryin' shame he can't make his night job pay. But I guess that is the blues and if you don't have'um you can't sing'um. He alternates between three different guitars in a power trio and he commands that phat sound. Catch him if you can, definitely worthy.

    “This odd museum merely documents, juxtaposes, relativizes – a perverse collection.”– James Clifford, “On Ethnographic Surrealism” In the Unofficial Channels column of the February issue of The Wire, I write about Flokimotheque, a YouTube playlist that revives the perverse poetics of ethnographic surrealism. The playlist contains more than 100 posts that each juxtapose a single still image with a single piece of music.

I've been into the Dead for a long time, but I'm sort of just now opening up my mind to the live stuff. Took me awhile to be able to sit through a 20 minute jam I guess, but I'm there, and now I'm loving me some 30 minute dark stars, and some of the really cool song sandwiches. Which (finally) brings me to my question: I'm freaking out over the Pauley Pavilion show with the Playing>UJB>Morning Dew>UJB>Playing sandwich (one of the most amazing jams/song medleys I've ever heard), and I'm noticing how different, much slower and soulful this Morning Dew is than an earlier version I have. Are there other songs that they significantly changed their arrangement of over the years that I should be on the lookout for?

They all sort of morph though time, and that's half the fun. But you used the word significant (significance outside of a strict statistical implementation is actually subjective and context-dependent, and I shudder when considering the implications of legions of statisticians and actuaries measuring Dead songs for Significance..."Excrement! Rip that whole section out!") so I'll assume you meant substantial instead. First, there's the glaringly obvious ones where Bob covers Pig (Lovelight, Good Lovin') and then Dancin' In the Streets (compare 60's versions with 78-on versions) and one of the biggest is Friend Of The Devil which transforms from a lively, up-tempo country ditty in the early 70's to an almost lethargic heroin dirge by the end of the decade.

There might be better versions available out there, but if you stream/download it from Archive as I have, there is a tape splice during the first UJB and the five individual tracks don't match up exactly right, which is a real drag when you're immersing yourself in the beauty of this jam, and how they morph the songs into one another. So I took the liberty of playing with them, taking out about 5 seconds of audio around the splice so that it passes by without notice, and matching up the tracks into one amazing roughly 40 minute or so mp3.

The Obvious Child Has been on full-bore repeat loop in my head all through a sleepless night. I keep hearing the same verse: Well I'm accustomed to a smooth ride Or maybe I'm a dog who's lost its bite I don't expected to be treated like a fool no more I DON'T EXPECT TO SLEEP THROUGH THE NIGHT So was this swirling all 'round my brain all night BECAUSE I couldn't sleep, or was it the REASON I couldn't sleep? Cause-and-effect, or self-fulfilling prophecy? Next up, Zevon's "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead," no doubt...and then the Beatles' "I'm So Tired." And so on...

oh, do please stop being so annoying gratefaldean!!! you're a troublemaker you are!! ha ha ha!!!i can see how that Paul Simon song could keep you awake; it has a rhythm like a train on the tracks which sounds mighty fine to my ears. man, those early simon & garfunkel records brings ol' jonapi to tears. absolutely beautiful music. these last few nights it's been The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds keeping myself awake; impossible to extract that bassline from the brain, infusing one's senses causing a flood of lucid dreaming like bobbing in warm cushioning water. ahhh, the sound of early '90's bliss; rural idyll, countryside bathed in sweet summer sunlight with a beautiful righteous doobie in the hand and my wife by my side. was that really 21 years ago? my how time flies.... have wonderful weekends everyone.

the night tripper - Gris-gris I'd perused the New Arrivals section at one of the local record stores, Euclid Records, and had moved on to this and that. When I came back to the NA section Gris-gris had just been filed under Blues next to the Louis Jordan compilation I was going to pick up. Well, Louis had to wait - this was the first time I'd seen Gis-go so I had to go for it fo' sho! 1968 drugged-out underwater voodoo!!!

I've had improvised variations on this infectious riff running in my head all day, and can't help wondering why Furthur isn't toying with this as a transition jam. I'd be shocked to find Jeff doesn't already know it well.

4/26/08, Merlefest This was the last time that I saw Levon play, am wishing that I'd been much more determined in pursuing my desire to see a Ramble at the barn. Levon was in good voice, the band was cooking. Writing this, I realize that a few hours earlier that day was also the last time I saw Doc Watson play. Damn.

FINALLY just picked up the Europe 72 stuff. Not the entire box set, but Volume 1 and 2. Great, great stuff. But one thing is jumping out at me, and I didn't see it mentioned anywhere else online. Does Vol. 1 play fast? Especially on the Morning Dew, that's the highest pitch I've ever heard of Jerry's voice, and other stuff here and there, the harmonies on He's Gone, it just sounds like it's played on a record player too fast and everything's a little higher pitched than usual. Has anyone ever noticed this or heard of it being an issue?

Indeed. E72 was speeded up a little, apparently (I read somewhere) in order to fit all the songs on a double LP.

I was on a mission to find hardware in our basement to affix a gauntlet of sorts to stymey our dog Guinness from escaping when I came across crateloads of tapes.Grateful Dead made up a good number of them, but I was a taping fool when I got into reggae so I decided I'd set up my cassette deck and tackle the mountain of music before me. This music will never see the light of day on CD. What I'm listening to is a tape comprised of Studio One 12" from the late '70's and early '80's. Sir Clement Dodd was a Jamaican producer who recorded just about everybody in JA who was a quality performer. There's a newly remastered package that includes a compilation CD, three hour DVD and 100 page book called the Studio One Story that I recommend highly. It's on the Soul Jazz label The names on the tape sleeve for the tape I'm listening to don't reveal who fronted the fabulous stable of Studio One musicians, but I think I can come up with a few: Heavenless - is an instrumental that features the incredible Don Drummond on trombone. What a riddim'! I can't remember the next, but then there are three by Cornell Campbell - Conversation, Queen of the Minstrel & What Kind of World. He sounds like a reggae version of Curtis Mayfield. The flip side of the tape has Alton Ellis and Sugar Minott among others. All feature tasteful dub effects and fine instrumentation. Needless to say, when I started searching through the basement "archive" this was one of the tapes I had to find. The date on the tape is 2/07/88. Is there anybody else out there who listens to this stuff? By the way, I'm extremely stoked about the next Dave's Picks - hope you are too!

hey Deadicated!yes, i'm a massive fan of dub and reggae, especially artists like King Tubby, Augustus Pablo, The Congos, Yabby You, Scientist, Prince Jammy, I-Roy, Burning Spear, Horace Andy, Lee Perry, Mad Professor etc. and yes, that Studio One box set is fantastic! I remember when Soul Jazz used to a have a little record store in the old Spitalfields Market in London (before they gutted the soul out of the Market and turned it into a faceless mall with a coupla stalls). saw many a fine show in London, £5.00 for Augustus Pablo; those were the days!! and of course those deep bass vibrations of the sound systems we used to get in Brixton, just down the road from me. fine weed, fine rum and fine riddims indeed. Cornell Campbell is great. you might want to check out the "I Shall Not Remove 1975-80" release on the excellent Blood & Fire label - http://www.bloodandfire.co.uk/ They mainly do CDs now but they still do limited pressings on vinyl which are mastered by Moritz Von Oswald from Rhythm & Sound/Basic Channel fame. Anytime you want recommendations or info on releases, old or new, then drop me a message, man.

..thanks for the reminder Deadicated...I have not had a roots session for quite some time (too many dang Grateful Dead releases to listen to ;-) ). I lost a lot of roots gems on a non backed up hard disc a while back and my vinyl is scattered around the globe. A lot can be recovered through the maze of blog sites but it takes so much time. Don Drummond is a barely recognised genius. If he had been playing jazz in New York at that time he might have been a star...I imagine him as a sideman for Miles...as it was his life disintegrated into a nightmare. The great Rico Rodriguez kept the trombone tradition going though. ahh yes..those heavy heavy roots and dub shows in London in the 70s and the chance to see Sly and Robbie almost every week. Prince Far-I was the hardest and heaviest..

yeah, Prince Far-I was mighty.and the On-U Sound guys are excellent. a good friend of mine handles all their artists for release in Japan. many a classic story too about Lee Perry arriving in Narita and immediately wanting to smoke a spliff; he simply doesn't recognise that it's illegal. to him it's a normal plant (i'm with ya there Scratch...). spent the entire time traveling with him from the airport into Tokyo with him asking every ten minutes or so, "can i smoke now?" "no, Perry-san, absolutely NOT!". he's like a big kid!
