my golden road was first time hearing Box of Rain
Today’s daily dose of the dead is the song “The Golden Road to Unlimited Devotion” from the March 18, 1967 show at the Winterland Arena in San Francisco. The song cuts in but this is a great song and the only live version I have. This is also the first time the dead ever played this live and they only did it 3 times.
I have heard great live versions of this by the Other Ones, Ratdog and Phil & Friends. This song is also played often during inning breaks at Fenway Park.
Of course the song describes well the devotion that many of us have for this music. For me the “Golden Road” was hearing the album Terrapin Station for the first time and then my first show on 1/10/79.
A really nice rarity for this Saturday!
“Well, everybody’s dancing in a ring around the sun, nobody’s finished, we ain’t even begun. So take off your shoes, child and take off your hat, try on your wings and find out where it’s at.”

this is one of the gentlest songs I have ever heard, and I only heard it for the first time now. Onto my 6th listen, I’ll hit at least 10 before I have to get up and go

BadBadNotGood are pushing to the forefront of modern music. Whether it’s doing interpretations of infamous thug emcees such as Gucci Mane or of 90’s legends A Tribe Called Quest, rap music has never sounded so different, so fresh, yet so familiar.

BBD by Azealia Banks
I can definitely get behind this. I’m one of those old people that hasn’t been able to get into anything since 212, but I really like everything about this.

Album Club #24: Tim
Members present: William A. Rawls, Swedish Oxers, Cuban Pete, Plan B, Charlie Face, Consigliere, Crackity Jones, Miss Mistoffeles
Favorite songs: “Swingin’ Party”, “Bastards of Young”
Discussed: Transition album, between band’s earlier, more punk sound and later commercial incarnation; group known to most AC members by name but few knew the music, to which all members responded positively; Paul Westerberg’s original vocal style — not perfect sounding, but distinctive and varied; Westerberg as the obvious, most talented member of the band (although Tommy Stinson became Guns N’ Roses’ bassist); Westerberg’s juggling act of trying to please the other member’s different musical tastes; melodic beauty combined with lyrical darkness; band’s notorious track record in live concerts — brilliant or awful; band’s tendency to shoot itself in the foot when big success came calling; memorable “SNL” performance; welcome rockabilly sound in some songs; very American quality to band’s sound; “Here Comes A Regular” as a great album closing song
Next album, courtesy of William A. Rawls: Either/Or, Elliot Smith (1997)
Great pick!

The Best Inexpensive Earphones for Running (and Talking)
I’m sure I’m not the first person who enjoys music to search of the best and least expensive earphones with which to run and use for talking with my iPhone. There are a lot of “sports earphones” out there, but they all sound like shit. I probably read reviews of at least a dozen inexpensive earphones on Amazon. and finally decided on a set of Ultimate Ear 350vi’s. Terrible choice. The volume mysteriously adjusted when I ran with them and one of the earphones shorted out pretty quickly. Needless to say, I sent them back.
I’d been hesitant to try a pair of less expensive earphones, especially since I hadn’t heard of most of the brands. I dropped $27 hard-earned dollars on some MEElectronics M6P-BK’s and absolutely love them. I’ve been running with them and use them as my daily work earphones for Skype calls. It was hardly a risky purchase and since I bought them on Amazon, I knew I could send them back if they had issues. So far, they have had none. They have memory wire so they tuck behind the ears and stay securely in my ears, even when I’m running, come with a great assortment of ear pieces and sound terrific, especially for the price. I would definitely recommend them.
As an aside, while I was doing some research, I also recently came upon an article about the Monoprice 8320 earphones, which cost, get this, $8(!!). Whoa is right. They don’t come with a microphone, but at $8, they might be worth a try as well. For now, I’m happy with my MEElectronics. -
