Great for both background music and intentional listening. 36+ shows by one of the greatest bands to ever do it. If you only listen to one, pick Volume 4 or 29.
Iāve always been a casual fan of the Grateful Dead, but I decided this year I would go all in and listen to the whole Dickās Picks series. I wanted to find something I can really lock in and listen to for long stretches. The project appeals to me on several levels. I enjoy the distinctly Americana themes and motifs of the lyrics, I like all the elements of the Deadās sound, and I love the iterative nature of their canon. For most artists the canon is the studio discography. Not the Dead. So many versions of songs with big and small differences, so many cool improvisational setpieces. I finished this one early today. 1972 has the Dead riding a songwriting hotstreak and entering what many consider the finest years of their career.
for music lovers! small books each on a single album. i always see them at the bookstore and i recently purchased the liz phair āexile in guyvilleā one which supremely rocked my world. i love an album dissection / some good old music history
Part 2: Ellie is basically a toddler. Sheās a very chatty Siamese mix. She meows at us so we can hold her like a baby and it makes her so happy she drools uncontrollably.
