    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.

Stories Don't End I'm struggling with this band. I think that I want to like them but I just can't quite get there. Taylor Goldsmith sounds much too much like Jackson Browne, and the band has that SoCal Laurel Canyon vibe, but the songs just don't quite grab me. "Stories" is their third album. Jackson Browne's third album was "Late for the Sky." Nearly forty years later, I'm still playing "Late for the Sky." Right now I'm doubting that forty days from now I'll still be playing "Stories." Maybe it'll grow on me...

4/26/72 Jahrhundert Halle Frankfurt, West Germany It's the show that brought me back to the bus. The 1st official release, however, in 1995 pales sonically. Robert Hunter's write-up in the "gatefold" is wortth hanging on to for sure though. I'm still in complete disbelief I'm listening to show after show from the Spring '72 Europe tour.

Transferred my copy of 'A Nice Pair' from vinyl to MP3 the other night and am currently groovin' to the first two PF releases on my iPod at work. It makes me wonder in what directions PF would've taken if not for the collapse of Syd's psyche. 'The Piper at the Gates of Dawn' truly is a fantastic album, especially side A.

'Women in Technology' - I bought this CD for one song, "Your Woman," which was my JAM in the late '90s, but I've grown to appreciate the album as a whole over the years. My iPod played two songs from the album back to back while on shuffle, which made me realize it's been a while since I'd listened to the whole record. And here we are....

In honor of the forth-coming May '77 box, thought I'd try something a little different. Oh, my. I've been listening only to '69 & '72 and I'm finding this quite odd. But inna good way. Things have slowed down so much it's mind boggling!!! La esposa and I are going to a new restaurant, Mission Taqueria, featuring a menu loosely based on that of the culinary styles found in the Mission District, S.F. Promises to be riquisimo! Happy Cinco de mayo!

I'm maybe halfway through the show from July 7, '89, and it's a pretty solid piece. Started off slowly and a little shaky, but it's certainly picked up steam after the fantastic jam at the end of "Let It Grow." Sadly, I found this show's renditions of "Ramble on Rose" and "Box of Rain" rather weak an uninspired; totally digging the "Scarlet Begonias" > "Fire on the Mountain" jam, though. Perhaps this is some of that '80s inconsistency that many have commented about in the past.

Just finished the Fox Theater concert, and WOW, what a show!! "Turn on Your Lovelight" > "Not Fade Away" > "Turn on Your Lovelight" might be one of the best 'Dead jams I've heard in...well...EVER! The "Dark Star" > "St. Stephen" > "Mason's Children" jam set is also a booty-shaker; it was all I could do to keep from dancing out of my cubicle! And "And We Bid You Goodnight" was the utmost perfect way to end that show--bring it in slow and steady, rock 'em 'til their socks fall off, then lay them down gently to sleep. Quite possibly the best of Dave's Picks so far!

Well, sort of. Right now, the 2013 bonus disc. I truly do love this mix of Pigpen with the first glimmers of that explosion of incredible songwriting that starts around this time. May 77 box ordered. Ain't life grand?

Grooving to the DP6 bonus disc and really enjoying the early rendition of "Dire Wolf." Also, this rendition of "Mason's Children" is far superior to the previous night's that's featured on the main release. I can't recall exactly when 'Workingman's Dead' was released, but I like how the song still felt new at the time, how it had to build up steam before the band could really rip into it. Speaking of DP6 proper, I was a tad disappointed in the 12/20/69 performance of "Dark Star." It was sonically intriguing but felt less ambitious than other performances. Not to say it was "bad," per se, but the band seemed hesitant to really explore the perennial jam session. "St. Stephen" and "The Eleven" that followed, however, were lightning-hot, and that 35-plus min. "Turn on Your Lovelight" burned the house down. All-in-all, another great show to love and cherish! Also, as a side note, when I ripped the CDs to iTunes, I put the Fillmore show in the proper order. No need to interrupt the jams when you don't have to change CDs!

After several times listening at different sound levels my opinion has gone up slightly. I don't remember which Dark Star it is, St. Louis I think, that has a jaw dropping catapult into space courtesy of Jerry. I mean, they even pause in the song for a very slivery split second after this sonic boom. The other highlight for me is The Eleven. It is blistering. Conversely, the New Speedway Boogie seems like a tacked-on after-thought. I guess the purpose of this release is to fill in some not well-lit moment in Grateful Dead history. I accept that every output is not going to be scorching through and through.

5/07/72 Bickershaw Festival Wigan, England The one with the Dark Star and Other One. Yep, it's smokin' from the git-go! I'll see if I can suck it up and listen to the Boston, '77, show later - got the place to myself. '77 might just have to wait 'til tomorrow though. The eighth's a pretty good show, too, isn't it?

I found a used copy of this box (for umm$) but I am loving it. I am currently on the 2nd show and the Dark Star is getting really spooky. This sound quality is amazing too. I absolutely can't get enough of the DaP 6 too. I think the 2/2/70 is a better but its all on fire to my ears...especially the Eleven>New Speedway Boogie. 1st one ever...what a great snapshot in history! I love it. DaP 6 is actually what made me break down and get the FW 69 complete...

And then he rips his all-about-the-nuance solo, flirting with harmonics all the while - so sweet! Sure's good to be alive in the middle of May!!! Ain't it?

In the mood this morning to listen to Paul "H.R." Hudson's other band, H.R. (a.k.a.: Human Rights). A rather big leap away from the thrashing, smashing, and screaming of Bad Brains, I have most but not all of his solo albums. More to the point, I have his SST releases and his most recent album, 'Hey Wella', but don't have any of the early '90s or early '00s records. And since I'm a bit of an O.C.D. stickler when it comes to listen to an artist's complete catalogue, I'm listening to the albums in chronological order:- 'Human Rights' - 'Singin' in the Heart' - 'H.R. Tapes '84-'86: It's About Love/Keep out of Reach' - 'Charge' - 'Hey Wella' plus the album's two singles, "Didn't I Tell You" and "Hey Wella" You can also get a CD of the band's latest tour, which features members of Fishbone and Suicidal Tendencies (if you're into that kind of stuff) as well as a limited edition split 45" with Valient Thorr and some other goodies through the band's Facebook page, "HR Human Rights."

Happy New Year Vol 1 A compilation of live tracks from 2012. A definite goosebumps moment on "Phoenix Story/Mr Bojangles." I'll not do it justice, it must be heard, but here's the gist: Todd is a big fan of Jerry Jeff Walker. One night in Phoenix the two of them closed down a bar and were wandering back to their hotel. Heard a tune, walked around a corner to investigate, there's a guy on a street corner at 3 am singing Mr Bojangles to nobody. Todd and Jerry Jeff stop and listen, Todd's mind racing ("Should I tell this guy, does he even know who this is?"). Song ends, Jerry Jeff throws some money in the hat and they go on their way. The story segues into the intro to Mr Bojangles, the crowd cheers, and the intro just goes on for a while. The crowd suddenly goes wild, very wild, and the first verse starts...Jerry Jeff singing. Pretty sweet...

Listening to last year's expanded re-issues of Bob Mould's short-lived second band, Sugar. "Copper Blue" is a solid album, starting off with a heavy punch to the gut but goes out with a bit of a whimper. The second, live disc is where this expanded edition really shines. While the songs on "File Under: Easy Listening" don't pack as much visceral power as the hard rockers on "Copper Blue," I feel that it is overall a more balanced record. Really, the live discs on both of these re-issues make buying the expanded editions worth your money. I snagged 'em both when they were just $5 apiece from Amazon, so I'm missing the re-issue of the E.P. "Beaster" that comes with the CD/LP version of "Copper Blue," but I plan to eventually get both these albums on vinyl. If you're a fan of Bob Mould's work and have never listened to Sugar, get these albums. Like, now.

Been on a bit of a reggae kick of late (after ODing on Bob Mould). If you're in the mood to check out/support a killer indie band, check out the Idlers from St. John's, Newfoundland, and Labrador, Canada. They have two albums out--"Corner" and "Keep Out"--that are simply DYNAMITE. Both were produced by none other than Darryl Jenifer of the Bad Brains and the White Mandingos. This ten-peice outfit is no joke--these cats can groove with the best of 'em! Check out their website, idlers.ca, or grab their tunes directly from CD Baby.

his "some humans ain't human" song written about the ole asshole from El Paso - Dubya reminded me of what a talented song writer he is. I got to see him live at the beautiful Coronado Theater in Rockford, IL. back in the late 90's. Outstanding performer; just wish I could've seen him with Bonnie Raitt.

I met a woman a couple of weeks ago who had just seen Bob Mould, was raving about the show. Then Parkas4Kids does some raving of his own, seems like Bob Mould is calling me? My favorite post-Huskers albums are Copper Blue and Workbook, I should try them on this evening, take a spin around the block. It's been a few years since Mould was part of my music rotation, can't begin to understand sometimes how artists drop off my radar without any real intent involved. Too much music, too little time. But then again, I do like that John Prine album mentioned by slo as well. And I'm seeing CSN on Sunday, feeling compelled to take a trip through their catalog. I need about 4 sets of ears and a much more talented multi-tasking brain, it seems. I know, 1st-world problems, eh?
