They’re not the best at what they do…
Because obsessives tend to be somewhat catholic about their obsessions…here’s some great Dead-related stuff I’ve stumbled upon. The band has been reworking its website; one of the new features is The Taper’s Section where, every Monday, music from shows played during that week is posted/discussed. About 2/3 of the band’s 2,400 shows are represented. You can sign up for the RSS Feed and, best of all, everything that’s posted is downloadable. This week’s selections include a handful of ‘74 cuts, the first no-CA shows in the band’s history (Vancouver, ‘66), and a fairly insane Cold Rain-Sampson from Red Rocks, ‘82.
For all of you non-Dead Heads out there, commence mocking me…now.

Yankees suck. So do the Grateful Dead.

You know what my favorite Grateful Dead song is? The short one.

[…] (An aside: in response to Jack’s query on yesterday’s GD post, “catholic |ˈkaθ(ə)lik| adjective 1 (esp. of a person’s tastes) including a wide variety of things; all-embracing.”) […]
