hope everything was well grounded - yikes.

My local place was out the Fresh Squeezed - he said his supplier is out of stock --- picked up the Union Jack - don't think I ever had it, before ----- the Union Jack was only about 2 bucks cheaper than the Sculpin -- I actually enjoy the Ballast's Big Eye more than the Scuplin and it's about $5 or so cheaper. My go to IPA's are Bells Two Hearted and Stone IPA. I belong to a 'mug club' at my local brew pub (Flossmoor Station) --- I never realized that there were 'trading circles' amongst drinkers, before I became a member a couple of years ago. Every couple of months the members get togeth

Listening to the above on Spotify --- decent comp (just came out to celebrate the 50th). Nice to see some Brent tunes in the mix, too. Probably won't buy it, though will seek it out from the library --- on Spotify it sounds great- I imagined the actual discs will even sound better.

It looks like Indiana will be adding the 'anti-discriminatory' language to the bill - so maybe the show will go on. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-indiana-religious-freedom-law-20150331-story.html

I am listening to a 9/72 show tonight, too - 9/27/72 - Dick's Pick 11.

The new one did mesmerize the kids into silence and relaxation on the little road trip --- so it's good for that, at the very least.

Listening to DylanRadio.com this morning and the played Dylan's version of Restless Farewell from Sinatra's 80th birthday tribute -- great rendition. Heading on southern road trip this evening -- will listen to Shadows again - at the very least it may help put the kiddo's to sleep. Do enjoy the cd, though.

I should be getting the new one in the mail tomorrow --- looking forward to it. She did a Tiny Desk (npr) somewhat recently - very nice stuff. http://www.npr.org/event/music/302900658/courtney-barnett-tiny-desk-concert

I wonder who gets the money from the auction --- do the 4 members and Garcia estate split it up among themselves? I guess there is still a 'Grateful Dead Staff or Organization', perhaps they get a cut . I wonder if Hunter or Barlow get a cut, too. I don't remember the toilet being up for auction - that's weird.

Definitely an interesting read -- sorry about the bad week, Crow --- condolences.

I didn't know crap about him, though after hearing the tunes while watching the documentry, I kept thinking "oh, I know that song" over and over again. Also, you're most welcome Sir Stew.

http://www.head-east.com/bandhistory.html All this Head East talk - I had to look into it - our friend's dad was an original member (Piper) and he was guitarist, not keyboardist. My brother-in-law took lessons from Rich Creadore in beautiful Sparta, IL . (I am sure everyone was wondering...slow day at work for me.) I see that they are still out there touring down there - no wonder they are more popular than Wilco...

Remember a M&R Rush - but not Mahogany Rush ---- seems to be a lot Rush's back in the day.

Sounds like a fun weekend.

My electric kettle went out last year -- back to the kettle on gas stove. My electric stove went out out last month -- $500 or so later - it's fixed. NoJ can go my parents route -- kettle on gas stove and a cup with a scoop of instant.

So far my current fresh press hasn't failed. (though I did drop it and it busted about 10 years or so ago - still using the same press, though - just needed to buy a new carafe)

You should of asked them about Farrar. I suppose that is a main reason that Tweedy headed North --- every time I saw Wilco/Jeff solo in St. Louis/Southern IL area - he had something snarky to say about the area. (plus I don't think anyone really needs to check out Head East)

I think he wrote that he was missing the next few gigs.

Yeah Head East is popular down there -- A friend of my wife's dad played keyboard with them at one point during the 70s and my bro-in-law took guitar lessons from a member in the 80's --- I think every Southern Illinoisan musician was in Head East at one point. While I was down there, a friend use to book local shows for Head East during mid 90's.

I got an email, stating that Phish will be doing a three day fest again this year --- as per usual, the Fest website is pretty funny. My friends use to go to all their fests in the 90's, I think the last one they went to was Big Cypress - I never did make one. http://phish.com/magnaball/

Hear, hear!

A little bit of me thinks that Lennon did it on purpose --- of course they were both f'd up.

This is only issue I ever remember buying --- I bought it while I was on my first trip to Colorado.

Dick's Pick 12 is one of my favorites. Did you find the Picks used or did you buy the down-loads?
