    It's my utmost pleasure to supply you some narcotic salvation (salivation?), Kate_C. ;)If it in any way should lead you to the transformative universe of Coil I shall die extremely happy. p.s. you would have to go some distance to appal me....

    "...the sycophantic slags all say..."
    I've trouble identifying another artist in my collection with a track-for-track discography that rivals the Smiths for uniform excellence; perhaps the Doors or, now that I think about it, the ABB, even up to the '15 farewell stand at the Beacon, which is no mean (4+ decade) feat. Nonetheless, there aren't many, even my beloved Dead produced late-era stinkers and some of the Beatles early hey-baby-I-love-u-bubble-gum-pop could've driven Noriega into the streets. Road tripped a friend to the doctor today, which, here in the eastern mts., can mean quite a journey when you're talking about a specialist in The Big City. Made it through all but MiM from Marr's brilliantly remastered box set. Honestly, aside from Waters-Gilmour and McEnroe-His Temper, I'm pressed to think of a conflict that rivals Mozza-Marr for having torpedoed greater career potential. I love Mozza's voice, it's lushness borders on decadency and seems to wrap itself around even the hardest instrumental angles with a mellifluous grace that handles the bite of venomously sarcastic or darkly cynical lyrics like a velvet glove. Anyway, here's his scalding editorial of the recording industry (though it's not quite that simple), which, while less caustic than Rotten's "EMI", delivers the same blunt message with an inimitably playful tone and razor tongue that leave the target bleeding by a thousand small cuts rather than massive head trauma. A veritable case study of the Punk v. Post-Punk modus operandi(i)(s)(?)/p,k

    What's an iconoclast to do?
    While I'm certain that some assignation of blame is apportionable to our beloved RandallL, I suspect that as a Ph.D. in electronic music he'll be at least mildly appalled by my selection. Specifically, I have developed an acute proclivity for the work of Grimes. Worse yet, I prefer Art Angels to Visions, GP, and Halfaxa; as well, and this is truly the proverbial straw that compromised the dromedary's thoracolumbar integrity, I've been freebasing California off AA, which is - of course - the most commercially accessible track in her entire catalogue. The real concern, however, is that G is just a gateway drug; but, no worries, I've planned decisive action: a self-intervention comprising a cover-to-cover reading of the Taping Compendium, Volume One (primal stuff), while listening to the FW 69 box, with bonus disc, until dawn. This, and 200 "Hail Jerrys", is Bishop Bozo's Divine Diktat for Absolution (sounds like a Blues Brothers' movie)./p,k

First, and of greatest import: RL, I do hope all is well; p'raps holiday or simply self-imposed hiatus for the Patron Poster of this ongoing thread. Second, what a difference a week makes! Early last Saturday I matched running mileage with air temperature at 8...an early trek to the one of the neighboring "big cities" in order to see a matinee performance of "Annie" necessitated an extraordinarily early Saturday morning appearance at the trailhead. Wow. Even with insulated tights, I suffered patches of minor frostbite on my left bum and thigh. However, this afternoon, I perspired through 9 miles in the mid-50s while wearing only a T and shorts (with a 20oz. H20 bottle that had to be refilled in a stream). Okay, to the music. Last weekend, I intentionally matched bizarre meteorological circumstances with a queer GD performance, specifically, what I call the Bermuda Triangle show of 6/23/74 in Miami (a reference to Bob's comment regarding chronic electronic issues (or, as Phil said on a similar occasion, "electronic spiders")). Moreover, think of the audience's reaction upon initial exposure to Seastones, as this production does - in fact - encompass that unconventional prog-rock experimentation's debut appearance! And, quite frankly, it's phreaking awesome! Indeed, an appropriate accompaniment to the persistent 'ghosts in the machine' that manifested throughout the first set. Upon first blush this past June and July, I thought much more highly of this show as a whole; however, the gravity of repeated listens has grounded my perception in reason. Still, it's not to be missed for jam-spewing pyrotechnics that commence at the end of Set 1 with an awesome WRS I > LIG, the spirit of which resumes post Seastones with a clever improvisation that spawns a Phil-heavy SOF and, a few tunz later, catapults into - HOLD ON TIGHT - a mind boggling 17.5 minute DS Jam > Spanish Jam (Yeah, you're reading right! - and the Catalonian influence is brazen (listen to the wondrous synchronicity of Jerry, Keith, Fuzzy Bob, Phil, and the disciplined percussive rat-tat-tat)) > 10.5 minute US Blues sequence that is simply phenomenal. Here's yer Relisten.com link... http://relisten.net/grateful-dead/1974/6/23-4 (Would I give you something less than a Seamons' production? Heck no!) (Okay, one last note: just listen to the sublime organic transition from the Spanish J to USB...holy smokes!) Darn it! I've written War-n-Peace without touching upon the selection for today's run and ride home: 4/22/78. But that's another post./peace y'all, K

Live Stream? Are there any plans for a live stream of the GD50 shows?I know there are a ton of people that cant make the show, but total will be there in mind and spirit. Is there a plan for a live stream? I am offering my services and equipment to video/audio live stream the shows. Or if there are plans, I will be the first to sign-up and pay. I'm sure there are a few tapers that will be doing audio streams, but wanted to see if we can do this not only as an additional revenue stream (no pun intended) for the band but also to make all the folks that cant make the trip still feel as if they are part of the family.. PM me if interested in discussing.

Ol' Glory More swamp/soul/rock from JJ Grey, some guest licks by Derek Trucks and Luther Dickinson, sounding good after my first couple of spins through the tracks. Weather permitting, I'm seeing JJ next week at Ziggy's in Winston-Salem. I thought that I moved to North Carolina to get away from this snow and ice crap. On the other hand, at least I'm not still in Rhode Island!
