about me

 

the weirdo's guide to the grateful dead So I'm on this mailing list which is dedicated to weird psychedelia, noise, "forest punk," and other sundry topics of this sort, and talk has recently turned to the Grateful Dead. I'm not a Deadhead, but I recognize that there are some moments in the mountainous trove of recordings the Dead left behind that are undoubtedly worth hearing. For this reason, I've long been a happy owner of Grayfolded, a seamless collage of the "best moments" of recordings of free-form Dead jam "Dark Star," assembled by notorious cut-up artist John Oswald. I've long thought of this as all the Grateful Dead that any respectable weirdo should ever need. But I also just recently stumbled upon an hour-long GD mix from laptop manipulator / Vermont hippie Greg Davis, designed to (in his words) "highlight the weirder, more psychedelic side of the grateful dead at the same time supplying you with the catchy classics." The especially nice thing about that mix is that it's available as a free podcast, here: http://podcast.soundarc.net/ (Scroll down to #2.) Soundarc is also offering some other podcasts that may be interesting to readers of this site.

It was mentioned in the August 2008 issue of Relix in an article in-titled "How Jerry Got Hip (Again)". I've been doing some intense Google searching for the set with no prevail. I stumbled across this blogg, but the link posted above no longer seems to work. Can someone please point me in the direction of this interesting mix. I just recently acquired a copy of Phish's Jambient Mix 2003, made by the people at LivePhish.com. It seems like this set may be similar to Greg Davis's mix and I would like to compare them. Plus it would be a nice rare addition to my personal archive. # posted by  DarkStar32 : 8:12 PM   Post a Comment
