Black Tempest - Secret Astronomies superb 3rd outing from Squid, as equally excellent as the Proxima/Ex Proxima pairing-recommended and due to the oddities of mozilla/the post office it seems to be I'm the only person it has arrived at so far or I'm sure more folk would be raving about it


On first listen this is an absolutely magnificent effort. Nice cover too. Bollocks to the Brits, it is in such nooks and crannies where the interesting stuff is happening!

The End Of The Road (1995) - doc about the last Dead tour and death of Garcia. Focus is on the audience not the band, and the vibe is sad & bittersweet -- not just because of the "end" factor, but because a lot of deadheads are pathetic! Reminds me why I hated this band when they were still around . . . .




And now they're all into Phish - as evidenced by my visit to the Berkeley University campus on the very night they were playing. We didn't see them, but the whole place was so full of tie-dye, weed fumes and patchouli oil it felt like a full blown time capsule ride back to 1967.

When was that Phish gig exactly? (Recent or years ago?)

Another thing I found bittwersweet about the movie was the flashback-to-1995 nostalgia.

I remember those years (I had long hair & a beard too, though was not a deadhead)!

It seems to me there are a lot fewer of those freaky "hardcore hippie" types around these days (or maybe they only exist in places like Berkeley now?) And I'm only talking about the last 15 years (of course there were a lot fewer hippies in the 80's before then -- guess it's a recurring cycle and the early 90's was just the most recent peak.)

One of the major thrusts of that documentary is the conflicts between "old school" deadheads, and "the new kids" who are more into the party-party-party aspect and have no respect for the "sharing & caring" 60's mentality. Guess those kids are the ones who moved on to getting arrested in Phish parking lots, but what happened to the old geezers? Some of them seemed like they were basically homeless when not "on tour".
