Watching Miracle: The Boys of ’80 and immediately started thinking of a favorite @stevenhyden.bsky.social theory about the Grateful Dead playing every midsized hockey barn in America. Of course I went digging…

Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

Thank you! Brought a smile to my face and Rick is riffing great bits somewhere.

Bob Weir’s Cosmic Touch The inimitable Bobby Ace played guitar alongside Jerry Garcia for over three decades. His unique style and merry personality helped shape the sound and spirit of the Grateful Dead, and his lifelong de...

This and a few other of Willie’s 80s records show him giving back to people who helped him when he was on his way up. Paul Buskirk’s name was on the label of the first official release of Night Life (Nite Life featuring Hugh Nelson). Loyalty.

@bourgwick.heads.social.ap.brid.gy Do you know the date/location of this photo?

I’m so glad you didn’t bail on Willie. He’s one the artists I’ve seen most in my life and was a little worried when I went to Outlaw Festival on July 5. And he absolutely killed. Held the crowd just where he wanted them for a full hour. Pin drop moments to standing ovations. Long Live Willie!

Did you hear that idiot yell “Will you play us some Grateful Dead?”

That was me.

Ronald McDonald is such a good clown name. You wouldn't have thought of it. You would have given him something obvious like Bloopers McBurger, the name of a clown. They gave him the name of a man.

wild/wide new '90s san francisco tape collection, now added to @livetapes.heads.social.ap.brid.gy, supposedly made by an usher who worked at shoreline/warfield/greek, etc., with microphones on wristband. not the highest of fis, but lots of cool stuff. tons posted already: archive.org/details/@nee...

Get a box of Ticonderoga pencils. You won’t go back.

Let us not forget that aside from his musical contributions, Garth Hudson RECORDED The Basement Tapes!

Rest easy, Garth. Thanks for everything.

In the episode I mentioned a letter I wrote to Garth Hudson in 2022 (at the encouragement of @harryhew.bsky.social) when he was in the hospital. Kind of sums up how I feel about the man.

“I think it goes without saying that [Garth Hudson] is the greatest organist in rock history. But that is a little too reductive to what he was as a musician.”

@stevenhyden.bsky.social nailed it.

Dead of the Day: December 22, 1978 Dallas Convention Center in Dallas, Texas

There is only one extant show from this day in Dead history, and it includes a sweet LL Rain, Candyman, and Stagger Lee in the first set. The second half is highlighted by a rocking Scarlet which finally gives way to a relentless, searching Fire. Enjoy it all! gratefuldeadoftheday.com/12-22-1978

Apropos of absolutely nothing, a good holiday watch this year would be the Station Eleven miniseries (on Max in the States). Moving and surprisingly life-affirming, I promise it’s not just about a deadly pandemic.

40 years ago today, the very first yo la tengo show, with antietam, at maxwell's in #hoboken. happy birthday, YLT!

I love the little metal chain that his soprano sax is attached to. Little details…
