“Deadheads enact the answer to a simple problem. The alienation we all feel is real and unavoidable. What if we learned to understand it as good?”

Requiem for Dead and Co., Grateful Dead, and an American Institution

Dead and Company—the most successful and longest-running post-Jerry configuration of Grateful Dead members—has purportedly given up the road. We took one last trip to Shakedown Street to make sense of what it all meant and what it means if they’re done.

Hello #deadheads, #music, #gratefuldead fans. Thanks for the warm welcome. I don’t know a lot of you. I curate Grateful Dead and other music (mostly unreleased) into unique listening experiences. I write them up and provide mp3s on the Save Your Face blog. Check out the 65 tags menu on the left to quickly explore the range of mixes. Note the “not the Grateful Dead” filter (PiL, Miles Davis, etc.). https://saveyourface.posthaven.com/ Most of the Dead mixes also stream on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8yyM8q9j5gYkJCSTEeciFyUItDQjFxcK

I'm playing at Brooklyn Bowl tonight! Big gig with Dark Streets, playing a full run through of the classic Pogues album Rum, Sodomy & The Lash. We're followed by a Clash tribute band, Straight To Hell, who will be doing all of London Calling.

(I know Mastodon doesn't really have enough users yet to make gig announcements worthwhile but I'm going to keep posting them because I enjoy it.)

The twin winds of irony and paranoia slipping through each other create these vortex streets that become the persistent emergent entities known as memes, Earth's first new species entirely endemic and native to the noosphere.

Unfortunately, the memetic habitat is currently fractured due to the capture of its most fertile breeding ground by the new mad emperor, severely distorting its natural fitness landscape. The results could be disappointing, or evolutionary. Only time will tell.

incredible drumming esp on this little ditty

After growing up a fan of David Crosby's music, he became my closest older friend. I'm heartbroken to lose him. But the arc of our friendship was perfect. Please listen to the Osirispod series we created together, with tons of rare music. Goodbye, buddy.🙏https://www.osirispod.com/podcasts/freak-flag-flying/

Legendary rock icon David Crosby in conversation with his friend, author Steve Silberman.

One of my favorite pics of #DavidCrosby and me by the great Jay Blakesberg. Crosby had a well-deserved reputation as a cantankerous iconoclast, but he was always very sweet to me. I kept waiting for the "other shoe to drop," but it never did. We were very tender with each other.

Hey.

Our friend and sister Paula needs some help. Please consider doing whatever you can.
