    same as advertised
    The problem with music is there's too much of it, so I haven't listened to the Dead much in a few years. Listening to them now makes me want to talk about it on the internet. I just listened to the 11/11/73 Dark Star, Eyes, China Doll. Not bad really. Now I am listening to Scarlet>Fire from Jacksonville, 4/8/78. It has long been my opinion that, while there may be versions that are more fiery, trippy, interesting, long, or unpredictable, this is the most beautiful version of the combo that the band ever played. If anyone disagrees I'd be interested to check out their candidate, which I will listen to immediately. It would in fact be nice to be wrong, or at least wrong-ish, since there would be a big payoff for such wrong-itude. In any case, anyone not hip to the Jacksonville version should run off and listen to it today, don't wait until tomorrow for we cannot know what the night may bring... Today I am also listening to the new album by The Fall, [i]Sub-Lingual Tablet[/i]. It is fantastic, very impressive that a band on its 31st album can produce greatness of this sort. It is rare, for some reason most rock and roll artists seem to decline with time. This is curious I think because it is not necessarily the case in other art forms, where late masterpieces are much more common (for instance literature, painting, all that stuff). Today I also listened to much of [i]Trout Mask Replica[/i]. I am also lately listening to Can, Hawkwind, and the Allman Brothers. Is there a place to discuss specific other (non-Dead) music, or is this the place to do it? I shall poke around a bit, I've never really spent much time here. I used to frequent a site called [i]Lost Sailor's Pub[/i], do ye know it? but not much GD internetting for me in general, right now I have to urge so perhaps I'll Google around a little too...anyway, if anyone reads this stuff, I greet you. EDIT: How does one do italics here? Clearly what I did above isn't it...

    Fillmore East June 14, 1968; Bob's comments at the end are particularly interesting considering today's holiday (and my own debauchery of the night previous ;) Speaking of Bob, that Long Strange Trip video is AWESOME! I watched that last night too. What a time to be alive (with The Dead)! Happy Memorial Day everyone!

On most days I'm now certain that Phish's Amsterdam box contains the finest music I've ever heard (other days it's Hampton/Winston-Salem, Ventura, Chicago...). Trey's play here exemplifies a couple characteristics that were central to Jerry's style, that is, the note unplayed and emotivity. Check out his resurrectory solo beginning at 4:20 (!) - following a midsong wind down to baseline pulse - that is at first poignant, then positively uplifting after rebirth from pregnant pause at 5:42, and which finally soars at 7:28 under power of an updraft generated by Page's piano...

I wonder, just how the heck is it I've never heard of NOFX(?); yet, between a generally aging fan base across my favourite Dead sites and an odd fealty to the increasingly blurred country/pop/hiphop genres here in Appalachia, punk play (like "Charlie don't surf..."). Anyhow, I've discovered an early penchant for later material, so I began by ordering Wolves and Coaster as well as the '99 opus "The Decline"...to the hardcore among you tsk-ing me for neglecting Drublic, White Trash, and the 2 live releases, I assure both you and Bank of America (my warm, fuzzy, caring, corporate VISA underwriter) they'll be coming soon!

Archivist David Lemieux pulled out 5/8/77, beginning w Scarlet Begonias, this morning on his Grateful Dead history show on SiriusXM. Wonder if his copy is a digital bootleg too?

A. Identify Problem B. Implement Solution C. Fail D. Rinse E. Repeat I've all the resolve of cooked fettuccine. Not even al dente. Apparently an internet moratorium is required to arrest expenditures on new music. Discovery of Fat Wreck Chords (think about it) yielded a profligate spree that hooked the VISA for child support toward my collection's new sextuplets, all with punky, alt names like NOFX, Pear, Tony Sly, Fat Mike, and Me First (the last being a uniquely American patriotic gesture). Ah well, good cause you know, patronage of the arts, starving musicians, and all that.../p,k
