    Nowadays, the idea of a destination wedding photography in dubai is picking up a considerable amount of notoriety. Additionally, destination weddings are less expensive than conventional weddings.

    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....

    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

I've met a few with this potential...'s why I run, rabbit, run... Incidentally, yet another pedigreed member of the Fat Wreck Chords' talent stable. It's like having my own personal label; thanks Fat Mike!/peace, K Edit: LTH - brilliant vid w/ GA, TA & Trucks...one of my favourite versions hailed from the 2014 closing run @ the Beacon on 10/24, but the addition of Trey just might catapult this version to the top spot on any given day. I pinch myself to think that I live in a time when I can not only attend, but immediately order/download SBD copies of, epic shows by bands like Pearl Jam, Phish, Mule, and SCI that I'll be listening to for decades. Life is great!

I am listening to 9/3/88 (Capital Centre) right now. I needed something happy and peaceful to take my mind off of everything sad and warful (?). Someone on Chat said they were playing this show so I figured why not join him! Peace, -Dave

Have to admit when I heard Dave's 20 was gonna be an '81 show I was totally down with it, but when I heard the show that was picked (Boulder CO-12/9/1981) I was a bit bummed and confused. There are so many wickedly rockin' badass shows from earlier in the year (even just a few months before) and after quick grabbing the old compendium and reading the 12/9 review, I was even more worried. But oh, I guess I have little faith in Dave (and Dick's notes)! I had not heard 12/9 before so I went in blind. Immediately I was struck by a strange vibe throughout the show. The sound is great, being recorded onto reels instead of cassette. But there was just a weird electricity (including the strange mega-low frequency feedback that I think caused Weir to flub the lyrics in the "Jack Straw" screw up) and it seemed members of the band (especially Weir and Mydland) may have been a bit spaced out on more than music, as this is one of those shows that gets better with and more adventurous with each song to the point where by "Friend Of The Devil" (just the third song) the band is near perfect and they know it, laying down what I believe with time will become one of my fave versions of "Friend Of The Devil". "F. Of The Devil" leads right into a down and dirty, raunchy blues rock-a-thon version of "Little Red Rooster" with Garcia and Weir's slide guitar just tearing things up. A tight version that's just loose enough to really get down to the groove. One of the best versions of '81 (a year featuring a plethora of great renditions). The band switches gears with "Bird Song" leaving no question that they are way "on", going surprisingly way out there on several very far out jams. A very memorable "Bird Song" for this period. Garcia takes a nice extra long and rocked out solo in "Mexicali Blues", which is followed by a real nice reading of "Candyman". "Cassidy" winds itself into a spiral jam of supreme psychedelia and is a must hear and then Weir lays down one of the greatest post-Donna versions of "Looks Like Rain" I've ever heard. Totally amazing with Garcia's playing just drenched in emotion while Bobby raps with the sky!!! Following the unique "Cassidy" followed by "Looks Like Rain" pairing there's the "China Cat Sunflower" > "I Know You Rider". Seriously, this thing is SO badass and simply mind-blowing it alone makes this release essential. It's well-played and VERY jammed out (almost frantic, yet never off the rails) in that great almost hard-rock '81 way. Garcia's confident opening of "China Cat", Weir's killer transition solo, Garcia's soloing, the superb vocals throughout, and a spot on rhythm section, who just drive the hell outta this one, then pull it back for "I Know You Rider", all make this is a serious piece of Dead music that deserved to be heard. Then there's Set 2 which starts with a incendiary "Scarlet Begonias" > "Fire On The Mountain" and ends with a double encore of "US Blues" > "I Can't Get No Satisfaction". Set 2 is solid as a rock with a epic "Stella Blue" coming outta a very spaced "Estimated Prophet" > "He's Gone" > "Drums" > "Space" > "The Other One", nearly 60+ minutes of pure '81 Dead power on a night where the band wasn't having much trouble tapping into the cosmic vein (individually or collectively) or kicking out straight-up kickass rock 'n' roll straight from the gut. So I thank Dave for dropping a gift in my lap. I very well might of missed this show. After hearing it, the thought of that is quite unthinkable! An excellent choice of a show that many (like myself) who are pretty damn into this thing called The Grateful Dead may have overlooked. A GREAT 20th pick!!!! Wish I had your job....you're the luckiest guy ever! Cheers on a job continually well done and obviously taken with the utmost seriousness, as there are so many factors in deciding on which pick shall become a release. Just make sure that this thing keeps going and try and catch as many new (12-25 year old) fans as possible so that this trip can continue. The Dead are the greatest American musical combo of the 20th Century and their music has such longevity and continued relevance that it may truly have no expiration date. Hell, I've turned so many punks, metal heads, 70's obscure rock/psych fans, etc., into Dead fans it's amazing how potent their musical potion still is...

1/24/1969 Avalon Ballroom Very entertaining! There's quite a unique crowd interaction and a horn (I'm gonna guess trumpet, maybe Earle Davis, I have no idea) playing Star Spangled/Taps/Here Come's the Bride at the very end. I love this band!

I am hiding in my home office/cave today. Going to avoid all media, if possible, and deal with tomorrow tomorrow. So, I have let relisten again pick a show for me. This morning it has given me Fillmore East on 1970-02-11. "Our love is real, not fade away!" Peace, -Dave
