Shoutout to the classic style mothers who give birth and raise em up, shoutout to all the other kinds of mothers of every style and gender who take care of found family with loving kindness, and as always an extra big hug and shoutout to everyone who didn't or doesn't have the mother in their lives we all need and deserve.
hey #GratefulDead fam, what is going on in the left channel here? Because it sure as shit sounds kind of like Keith is playing a theremin, but pitched too accurately for me to believe that. What is this? Some kind of weird Rhodes effect? @theheatwarps thoughts? It clearly resolves into glassy '73 Rhodes tone at the end
Anyway check it out, it's great regardless. Shoutout to the GD Discord for the find
@theheatwarps it's pretty much just song title, track numbers, instrument, musician, and then separate documents with how many takes by who. Those have some notes like "nice" or stars and such. That's about it
@anne interesting! I read it on the surface as reducing her role to a style commentary. Especially since her actual role seems to have been to enable a Trump showcase. But my response is about the way it fits a pattern of commenting primarily on womens' appearance rather than accomplishment
@mrcompletely My assumption is that we are living in one of the nasty alternate timelines, wherein neither the newspaper nor Collins understands the significance of her outfit. The extra bizarro timeline has Collins intentionally wearing white but for all the wrong reasons.
"Smoky" the dancing skeleton. Completed part of an in progress set. Wildfire theatrical luminescent paint and acrylics on jigsaw cut quarter inch high grade ply. Double sealed and mounted on a stake frame for outdoor installation. First shot is under strong UV light.
Smoky is #1 of 5. The other four are in stages from end carpentry to priming to the third color coat so this very fun commission project is now entering the finish stage.
Here's a memory that came to me while listening to the new Tony Rice pod. There a line like "anyone who saw him knew he was someone even if they didn't know who he was" due to his bearing. I saw him a handful of times live but at the 1992 MerleFest Midnight Jam (linked next post) I was backstage (long story). I ended up standing right next to him for a minute in the stage right wing as he was waiting to go on. Of course I would never bug an artist in that moment so I let him be (1/2)
@mrcompletely I had a similar experience when I worked backstage at the Boston Opera House in the 80s. Stevie Wonder did 5 nights and normally I worked a spot light but was backstage when the band is cooking and Stevie is led on stage. Walked right by me and he was in the zone already. I could feel the power the same way you describe it.
Those were memorable shows.
@creckling oh man I bet!!!! Stevie is a HEAVY cat and I'm sure he had that radiance. Prince of course had it by the truckload, I know that without ever being near him lol
OK which one of y'all coined "Stoner Dad" as the name of the currently ultra trendy orange and blue color palette? Because it's cracking me up. I see new examples of it every couple days in album covers, posters etc
@rowjimmy was it you that coined "Stoner Dad" for that Dave's 46 cover color palette that is now absolutely everywhere? Because I see it all the time and it's cracking me up daily
In case you don't have enough #music podcasts stacked up here's one for #bluegrass heads: The Bluegrass Jam Along 40th anniversary of Church Street Blues, the landmark Tony Rice album. Featuring Bryan Sutton, Chris Eldridge, Mike Marshall, Alison Krauss (!!) and Wyatt Rice (!!!!) & more. I've already learned a lot and I'm not even thru it and it's part 1 of 2. This is the most interesting Tony content since the Toy Heart series after his passing.
@mrcompletely I finally got around to listening to this. Incredible stories! Who knew Rice was so anxious? The insights from all the players were super interesting too.
