Maribou State Exclusive Video for “Olivia”
26 January 2012, 5:03 pm
A few weeks ago Maribou State put up a preview for their new EP, ‘Olivia’, and although I think it’s a bit difficult to fall in love with a snip of a track on SoundCloud, somehow I was hooked. While keeping with their signature tropical-tinged drums & xylophone sounds, they add very well-placed chopped vocals [...]...

There was this MC on stage at the end of the last night of Sonar at first he was shouting a bit and I wasn't too keen; then he started bubbling, riding the beats. He was brilliant and I said so to Claire & TomDodd who informed me that he was Pavan from Foreign Beggars (who I'd sort of heard of); and that he'd played their night Plat Du Jour a few times. So I grabbed a couple of photos of him for them which meant luring him to the front of the stage with a couple of come here hand gestures; ...

Whilst I am largely a candid photographer of the same school of thought as Ronis (I guess) I still have a desire to make portraits yet still haven't gotten over my dislike / fear (whatever it is) of approaching strangers and asking for photos as for example Oleg Tolstoy (thanks to Foreign Beggars for linkin...

The gator that ate my pot bellied pig
14 January 2012, 1:19 pm
I need help catching the gator that ate my prized pig. My pig (Rudy Belle) was wearing a very expensive necklace, a generational necklace, which was in my wife's family for years. The emotional distress I have had from losing my pig is nothing like the stress I will receive from my wife if I don't get it back. It happened at the Blue Cypress Golf Club and it scared the bejesus out of me. I spoke to management and they said there was nothing they could do. If anyone has found the necklace or has ...

My day began pretty normal. Wake up, eat cereal, pull on jeans, call in sick to work and head to Dolo. Turns out my roommate (that lackluster ass-hat, dirty water, dick-lipped, anti-poon waste of sexual organs and air) decided to break up edibles in my cereal in hopes that I would eat it and then go to work super high. It worked, I was high. Really high. So high I could taste colors and touch emotions. Up was happiness and left was pink. But, unlike the joyful acceptance that comes from willin...

Yes, it's true, I've never seen "Star Wars." I was 14 years old when the original came out (you do the math) and somehow I never managed to see it, or any of the sequels. It's time. I'm ready to hand in my Star Wars V-card. I know this might seem like pretty hot stuff to some of you, introducing a Star Wars virgin to the film that shaped you into the person that you are, developed your sense of virtue and cultivated your concepts of right and wrong. Imagine how hot will it be to sit next to me...

Great for the holiday season, this 2005 Fat Cat is on special this month.

In fact, this particular Cat was stored entirely indoors, and has no more than a half mile or so on the odometer. This model is very low maintenance and purrs like a kitten. This Orange Tabby was recently given a full 152-point inspection by a local kitty mechanic and has been certified t...

Hey there, Emily? We met last Friday morning. Well, maybe "met" isn't the right word. I believe the first thing you said to me was, "Who the FUCK are you?" That's a funny thing to say to a guy after wandering into his apartment, passing out in his bed, and accosting him wearing nothing but a bed sheet (your own, might I add) the next morning. Before I get too far, know that I'm not mad. Actually, I think you were pretty funny. And apparently, cute. I was, however, hungover as all hell, lying h...

It's the couch that left a scratch on the door frame because it hardly fit through, heck they had to take the door frame off to fit the dang thing through. They never put it back. They plopped the BNC in front of their TV and invited 16 people over and all of them fit. When they moved, they tried to sell the c...

T-Rex Taqueria had just opened. Maybe they didn't have their act together. My burrito took a while to make and somehow the hot sauce was left out. The wrap was a little messy and ingredient distribution was poor. And they only had black beans. While waiting I did enjoy the decor: an eclectic mixture of fossil logos and vintage photos of professional wrestlers. If I were in the area I'd go back, maybe even regularly. But T-Rex is no destination....

Burrito speed eating rivals John Liu and Sheb both brought T-Rex Taqueria to my attention mere days after its opening.

Expect nothing less from the self proclaimed king of taquerias.

Pass through the membrane. Be the membrane. There never was a membrane. You're back at a Grateful Dead show.

Under Eternity Blue - Soul Funk

The twelfth installment of the Under Eternity Blue radio program hits the Internet airwaves this weekend on Spirit Plants Radio with two show times: Saturday, July 30 at 11pm EST, and Sunday, July 31 at 11am EST. It's been a scorcher of a summer so far, and nothing reflects the heat quite as nicely as Soul Funk - that pocked genre of music from the late 60s to very early 70s that was born out of James Brown and had an unmistakable imprint of the dawning of everything we know...

GRATEFUL DEADSaturday, May 25, 1974Campus Stadium, UC Santa Barbara -- Goleta, CAAudience & Soundboard Recordings Judged across the entire 30 year span of Grateful Dead music, 1973 and 1974 possess tremendous similarities. However, when viewed in detail they reveal stark differences at many levels. The explorative playing style in 1974 has an aggressive and intentional bent. The band was pushing in ‘74, whereas in 1973 things seemed more about open discovery. By 1974 the dis...

GRATEFUL DEAD Monday, March 9, 1981 Madison Square Garden - New York, NY Audience Recording The maturation process for a Deadhead tape collector is a very interesting thing indeed. Whether it's in the way one slowly develops an ear to "hear" a year from just a few seconds of a song, or gains the ability to call a tune long before it starts based off of random between-song noodling happening on stage; with more listening comes the perception of subtleties and nuances which can elude other l...

Spirit Plants Radio asked DJs to give this week's show some level of a seasonal theme. During the busy holiday season, this episode opts to explore the solitude and peace that may be found on a late night walk in Winter. The show attempts to paint a musical landscape to acc...
The Music Never Stopped
26 November 2010, 7:30 am
We as Deadhead's are typically a musically sophisticated bunch. Most of us are hard wired to enjoy music deeply, and often our tastes expand far and wide. As I've mentioned here from time to time, the Dead only fill about 10% of my musical universe on a daily or weekly basis; often far less than even that. In many years of pushing my musical horizons, I have always looked for resources in the sphere of "all music" that can do for me what I try to do here in the Grateful Dead sphere - take my ha...

30 Days of Dead: Free Downloads
3 November 2010, 7:57 am
The Grateful Dead are digging into the vault to offer up daily gems for free listening and downloads, and chances to win stuff. In their own words: "The 30 DAYS OF DEAD celebration honors the spirit of camaraderie exemplified by the tapers who diligently documented the Dead’s concerts and trade them freely with other Dead Heads. Encouraged by the band, this practice of sharing helped foster not only a legion of devoted fans, but also created a unique sense of community that has transcen...
Jesse McReynolds - Songs of the Grateful Dead
9 October 2010, 7:33 am
Once in a while Grateful Dead tributes appear in the world of popular music. Given the subtle underpinnings of what actually makes Grateful Dead music worth honoring—that often being much more than the songs on a Grateful Dead record—the thought of a tribute album often struggles to appear as anything more than novelty. This is not the case with Bluegrass legend Jesse McReynolds’ Songs of the Grateful Dead: A Tribute to Jerry Garcia & Robert Hunter. Released earlier this week, here t...
Dead Symphony No. 6 Comes Alive
25 September 2010, 8:03 am
Road trip to Georgia, anyone? Something good's sure to go down when the LaGrange Symphony Orchestra performs on October 5th, 2010. The iconic Deadhead adage of "we are everywhere" never seemed more true than when I first heard about Lee Johnson's Dead Symphony No. 6. The Grateful Dead's infusion into the world of classical music was something of a Deadhead community triumph, yet I really didn't know what to expect from this fusion, and I'll admit that I leaned pretty heavily on the skeptic side...

Things I have been listening to but not had time to review properly because I’ve been moving house and all my records and decks were packed away and then it’s all been a bit crazy changing the locks and plumbing in a washing machine and fixing a TV aerial to the wall whilst dangling precariously from a ladder and generally figuring out where to put everything
24 November 2011, 3:16 pm
We’ve been in the new place for over a month now and I’m still catching up with myself. Although actually I’ve not been on top of things for ages, come to think of it. Lots of work to do here, but more space to do it in. My desk is now on a landing instead [...]...

R.I.P. Hollertronix series, that club staple borne in Philly by Diplo and Low B that, in its lifetime, has seen the pair rise from small time basement collaborators and underground party hustlers to major label players and arena rockers. It helped introduced the world to Bmore and Balie Funk music and let DJs know it [...]...
Audio Bullys: ‘Kiss The Sky’
17 December 2009, 10:02 am
London’s Audio Bullys never fail! This tune is massive in the playlist. I love the Bullys because they always have A-game production and good, catchy, songwriting with signature delivery. They can do it all! The new heat is ‘Kiss The Sky’, a big room electro house stomper—and def. a mad reapeater since the Audio Bullys [...]...

Lil Wayne: ‘Drop The World (feat. Eminem)’ & ‘Get A Life’ from ‘Rebirth’ album. Remixes from Flying Lotus & Stenchman
17 December 2009, 12:48 am
New Orleans’ MC champion Lil Wayne has an infectious one with Detroit underground-com-pop-raper Eminem on ‘Drop The World’. Eminem’s frequent pop-parody raps have made him more pop-than-pop like a US Weekly magazine—but still, the man’s got talent and now-and-then pulls off something really special that reminds me why I used to excuse myself on going [...]...

My Cat Drinks Tap Water, or MCDTW—for usability purposes—have captured a sound similar to [...]...

It’s just a track to find and appreciate on it’s own merit. Well here’s one, which I, admittedly, gave a listen to because it’s obviously a dubstep remix (because [...]...

Wise Blood
8 November 2010, 4:07 pm
Little is known about Wise Blood, except that his name is Christopher Laufman, and the few short, hazy lo-fi pop tunes he's been posting online this year have earned him a lot of attention. His songs are blurry collages based around samples with his own faded, soulful vocals riding on top. In a "Rising" article, he told Pitchfork, "I want to sign a big contract and take over pop music...I think it could [work out]. Pretty confident." Expect big things in the future. He just released a new song,...
