Sometimes when someone draws a picture of Skrill-axe and Jerry Garcia, you have no choice but to plop their tracks together.
Filed under: News Curious Sense It won't be the first time people have played Grateful Dead while puffing and gaming, but the three hippie pastimes have never before been so intertwined as on today, thanks to the launch of Grateful Dead Game: The Epic Tour . Released very much not coincidentally on April 20 , the international pot smokers holiday , the game, created by digital media company Curious Sense, features [...]
As we previously reported , auction house Bonham's will give Grateful Dead fans a chance to buy items from Jerry Garcia's estate through an auction on May 8 titled Visions of Garcia . Back in 2008, when Bonham's put a number of items from various GD family members up for auction through More Skeletons In The Closet, I prepared a B List detailing the 10 items I would purchase if money was no option. Since there's some real gems in the Visions of Garcia offerings, I figured I'd do the same to spotlight the [...]

Many potential Great GoogaMooga attendees were frustrated today in their efforts to sign up for free admission to the two-day food, drink and music festival , which is set to take place in Neathermead Meadow at Brooklyn's Prospect Park on May 19 and 20.

What's up, kids? Today: not so melancholy for me, what with spring break and all, but because I know so many of you are not so lucky, this one goes out to you. Hope you make it through the day! 1. Artur Rubinstein: Frederic Chopin's Nocturne #7 In C# Minor, Op. 27, CT 114 ("The Chopin Collection: The Nocturnes," 1967) 2. The Byrds: Everybody's Been Burned ("Younger Than Yesterday," 1967) 3.

What thoughts flutter through your head when you hear "supergroup"? I would imagine it's not similar to what goes through my mind: The Highway Men , The Super Friends , "We Are The World" ... I digress. 2012 has graced us with yet another supergroup that may not be as influential as Johnny Cash plucking along side Willy Nelson, but when you mix members of Deer Tick , The Black Lips , Los Lobos , Dead Confederate , and Six Finger Satellite , you got yo' self a SUPERGroup. Diamond [...]
Jerry Garcia era el guitarrista, cantante y principal compositor de Grateful Dead . Algunos dicen que es uno de los mejores grupos de rock de toda la historia y, la verdad, no es para menos porque su música cambió la manera de entender el concepto de estilo musical. Gracias a ellos escuchamos canciones con infinidad de matices procedentes del blues, folk, reggae, country o jazz y llegaron a convertirse toda una referencia en el entorno de la psicodelia. Por ello, era casi una cuestión de tiempo que alguien se animase a trabajar sobre el que fuera [...]
Roughly two and a half years ago we reported that Jay Farrar (Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt), Jim James (MMJ) and Will Johnson (Centro-matic) had headed into the studio to a record a new batch of songs inspired by Woody Guthrie's unrecorded lyrics, a la Billy Bragg and Wilco's amazing Mermaid Avenue records. According to Paste , the trio were personally invited by Guthrie's granddaughter, Nora, to sift through the songwriter's notebooks and scratch pads to gain insight on the artist and his unfinished work. On February 28, the trio will [...]
In July 2010, director Amir Bar-Lev ( The Tillman Story ) announced that a biopic on iconic Grateful Dead frontman Jerry Garcia was in the works . However, the film was almost immediately put on the back burner due to stalled negotiations with Garcia's estate . While that flick remains in developmental limbo, music documentary filmmaker Malcolm Leo ( This Is Elvis , The Beach Boys: An American Band ) and Garcia's personal manager John Hartmann have announced a forthcoming feature-length documentary on Garcia's life and times, as Deadline points out. Leo will direct the [...]

The final release in the Dick's Picks series finds the Grateful Dead in fine form.
As 2011 comes to an end, we are taking a look back at some of our favorite posts of the year by our guest editors. In 2008, Oneida began the Thank Your Parents triptych with Preteen Weaponry. Since, the Brooklyn band—Kid Millions, Bobby Matador, Baby Hanoi Jane, Showtime and Barry London—has completed it with 20092s [...]
And that we did when the Furthur bus rolled into town. The night began with some pre-show "tailgating" in the parking lot, (even though it was a blustery November night in Wisconsin) with stories of first shows, how many shows attended, Jerry shows and post-Jerry shows being shared. Ahh... some things never change and that makes me smile. However, being the wimp that I am, freezing my ass off overtook the nostalgia and I didn't last long in the parking lot and had to move it on in. As Bob and Phil waltzed on [...]
A great night for the Grateful Dead, recorded back in 1977.
Armadillo World HQ poster by Jim Franklin Editor's Note: This is a blog post that originally appeared in 2010, repeated here in case you can't get home to the Armadillo this holiday season. Long as I can remember, the corner of Riverside Drive and Barton Springs Road in Austin, Texas, has been a Thanksgiving Day oasis. Today of course that's the location of Threadgill's World Headquarters , a down-home restaurant with killer chicken-fried steak and the best tattooed waitresses in town. [...]
I kicked this week off with a "vintage" live performance, so figure I'd close the week out in the same way. Lately there have been a few Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band discs that have been getting a lot of play time of my iPod, namely the highly recommendable Ragged But Right and Pure Jerry: Lunt-Fontanne, New York City - October 31, 1987 . Both releases feature Jerry backed by a formidable band that includes John Kahn (bass), David Kemper (drums), Kenny Kosek (fiddle), David Nelson (guitar) and Sandy Rothman (mandolin, dobro). The [...]
