    David Bowie
    I love David Bowie. And I mean LOVE. He's been among my all-time favorite artists since I was in high school, and I've owned in one way, shape, or form a rather extensive library of his work. So, needless to say, I was pretty excited when I heard about his new album, "The Next Day." I'm listening to the new album for either the second or third time now, and I just can't get into it. I'm not really sure what it is, but the songs feel very phoned-in. Maybe it's because he's been in semi-retirement for so long after his last tour, but I feel like Bowie's lost it, whatever "it" is. Now, don't mistake this as me saying the album's terrible; it's still a good album. It just doesn't blow me away the way his other albums have.

    cleaning house, found the tape James Olness made me all those years ago. It starts with Banks of the Ohio from Joan Baez's set. At the time, Joan had rather worn out her welcome opening every show on the run (let's just say a lot of us were tired of Children of the '80s...), but this one song was really lovely and the chemistry's great. So I asked James to include just that one on the tape. It was a really good show, maybe my favorite NYE. And now, the sort of Shakedown that tells you you're in for a great show.

    A rather good friend of mine is moving to London for the next 2 years for her Master's Degree, so I'll be listening to the Dandy Warhols today in her honor. Over the years, she and I have traded artists back and forth, but she has never taken an appreciation of any kind for Courtney Taylor-Taylor & Co. She apparently listened to one song, thought it was a rip off of "Brown Sugar," and has refused to listen to any other song the band has performed. And I continue to this very day to tell her she's horridly wrong about the band and is a fool to judge them based on one song. I mean, let's face it, if we all refused to listen to a rock band because they sounded like the 'Stones...we wouldn't listen to just about anything!

    And now for something completely different....
    John Mayer's new album - "Paradise Valley". Listening to it for the first time. It's not his best work (that would be either "Continuum" or "Try!", IMO), but it's far from being his worst. EDIT: After listening to a bunch of live Dead shows lately, this album seems downright short! Anyway.... Moving on to Blues Traveler's "Save His Soul", and then I see Yes's "Close to the Edge" album coming up on my playlist, followed by a virginal listening of the GD's "So Many Roads 1965-1995"

Sing the Delta I must confess that I've lost track of whatever message Randall Lard is attempting to send us in this thread. I'm afraid that if I go back and piece it together it'll turn out to be a prophecy of the apocalypse. Or a recipe for cheesecake. Or not.

Hapsash and the coloured coat with the human host and the heavy metal kids. Why I didn't buy it in 1967 is a mystery to me !!

It's spacy and a thrill to listen to, if you know what you're listening to. Happy Thanksgiving everybody! Hope it's happy, healthy and safe for everybody -- from the Macy's parade to packing Turkey sandwiches on Monday morning! Ain't that America?

"Electric Music For The Mind And The Body" -Country Joe and the Fish.Another case of a band most famous for one of it's worst songs(?). I find "Feel Like I''m Fixin' to Die", an annoying, unlistenable song. But there is some really wonderful music on this album.... Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone.

I've had more fun discovering this band this year than any other recent discovery. I have enjoyed out "music" by Derek Bailey, Fred Frith, and Henry Kaiser for almost ten years, but had resisted the pull of prog and Canterbury. Big mistake. HC and its peer groups were great, committed and uncompromising artists. Jump through the window!

At the moment I'm listening to the jam out of Playing In The Band. I picked this up on sale in a record store for $15. It's KQED's production and is done pretty well. There are some really good shots of the band as a family up on that stage. There are the two drummers in the back, the trio of guitarists, Donna between Jerry & Bob and Keith on his Yamaha keyboards to the right. Everybody looks so dang young. Bobby with glasses. Keith always looks so freakin' into his own world. This show is very California mellow. You sit back and scratch your head going "Man, I sure remember the band a lot more rockin' than that..." But, that was the way it was in the West in general and California in particular. The floor isn't overcrowded with tightly packed people, the whole scene is very mellow, like eating a giant Quaalude. Anyhow, I'm sure glad I picked it up. This is my first listen to this show.

In face of the harshest darkness there is light. It is like watching something beautiful appear out of the most mournful space-jam the dead ever did. Sometimes it was The Wheel, Sometimes Gimme Some Lovin, Sometimes Truckin' or Uncle John's Band. You never knew. But out of the confused gyration of meandering space there was something to be joyful with. This year's vortex seems to be grinding non-stop, yet still a beautiful tune emerges as the days start to become longer. Celebrate life and light and let the darkness fade on it's own. Thrive this season! Everyone!

Kingswood Music Theatre, Maple Ontario: Listening to the recording one is not struck by any superlatives, yet there is s total above-average quality of playing and smoothness here that cannot be denied. The BIODTL>Dupree's>LL Rain> Might As Well really shows some sustain to end the first set... Scarlet>Fire does not slouch to opens the 2nd. But it is of course the New Orleans; Big Boss man>Aiko-Aiko encore trio that steals the show, followed by Wavy's remarks about these being the good ole' days at the end is what marks this as a watershed moment. My favorite for all of '84 (And applause for those polite Canadians)

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/eight2theuniverse Got this from a friend, ahhh a miracle indeed as it is hopefully connected to the Furthur Show in SF. It's in between sets, finger's crossed it's a good stream. The FURTHUR poster is awesome, great job it's powerfully symbolic but with grand grateful dead custom adherence, xo! Wish I were in SF....ahh but alas I am. Love you all, xo

Listening to 9/24/1993 Boston. Flew up from Nashville with three friends, where we met up with more friends and stayed at my sister's house for the weekend section of the Garden run. Fri 9/24, Sat 9/25 and Sun 9/26. I'm building up the energy preparing for the spectacular "Standing on the Moon" on Sunday. Sitting rear of stage at the old Boston Garden had great sound. Our mail order gave us one night on the floor and two side/back stage on Phil side. From the back, the stage was open and we great view (and sound like I said) of Billy and Mickey during show but especially during Drums when the vast array of percussion instruments were put to use. Really fun weekend. Sunday night was insane in so many ways. Those of us who were there in my circle of friends recently had an email chain reminiscing the details of that night. I just love how the Grateful Dead's music is so wonderfully preserved. Listening to shows I went to literally take me right back to the venue and the friends and extended Dead family I was with at the time. Sensory overload, I can see it, hear it and even smell, taste and feel it. He's Gone from 9/24 that is queued up right now is very spirited. Later today, surely I'll be on the archive dialing up past New Year's Eve shows; and/or see what XM23 has to offer.
