40 years ago today, bob dylan & the grateful dead play together for the 1st time & it’s rather absurd. i wrote about it for for @raypadgett.bsky.social's newsletter (with videos): www.flaggingdown.com/p/bob-dylans... tapes, notes, newspaper clips, etc.: heads.social/@bourgwick/1... #deadfreaksunite

A cool ALL ONE SONG shoutout on the Neil Young Archives today!

The 'wolf's first cover story!

Judging from recent unfortunate developments, we may have to rebrand this thing — but in the meantime! Here's the latest edition of my Bandcamping column, featuring new sounds for your long hot summer.

I finally finished all 3 1/2 hours of this "Down by the River" mix and it is a doozy. The malleability of the song is a revelation as Neil approaches it in different ways than the usual turn-up-all-of-the-amps blueprint

well this rips:

New Prairiewolf tune amidst other greatness on last night's Frow Show on @wfmu.bsky.social! wfmu.org/playlists/sh...

Stay at home on the Fourth of July and listen to more treasures from @ajc-project.bsky.social — two stellar tapes of Galaxie 500 in Chicago, 1989-90.

Simply the best

50 years ago tonight — the coolest band in the world (Television) playing the coolest club in the world (CBGB). Pure elevation.

The early reviews are rolling in! www.theselfportraitgospel.com/reviews-prem...

Reintroducing Hypnolovewheel! Check out a great new comp (put together by @dumpland.bsky.social) of this semi-forgotten 80s/90s indie pop band.

First Prairiewolf gig of 2026 was super fun — looking forward to a few more shows this summer.

While battling World Cup traffic to see Dylan last week, I amused myself by imagining Bob circa 1979 fire-and-brimstoning: "World Cup, huh? More like *Worldly* Cup! Only cup I wanna hear about is the Cup of Christ!" (Intense rendition of "When He Returns" follows)

Via @andybeta.bsky.social + @wfmu.bsky.social + @obsofdeviance.bsky.social, a remarkable previously unheard 1972 Alice Coltrane broadcast (and much more!).

this week’s grateful deadcast (our last “steal your face” episode) hits the road with the band’s 1976 comeback tour, featuring ‘70s band manager richard loren, promoter john scher, the just-deposed ron rakow, unheard jerry garcia interviews, & many rad dead freaks. www.dead.net/deadcast/ste... /1

The latest Jeff Parker ETA IVtet LP is a masterpiece — and its accompanying concert film is a must-watch.

👀

A killer recording (via @rmhayes.bsky.social) of one of the SML-XL performances at Big Ears this past spring — Jeff Parker and Mikel Patrick Avery along for the ride. 🚀

A new season of @aquariumdrunkard.com Transmissions starts now w/Don Was, joining us to rap about cult Detroiter Ted Lucas, @thirdmanrecords.bsky.social, @bluenoterecords.bsky.social & more. Listen wherever you get pods via @talkhouse.bsky.social & direct at AD: aquariumdrunkard.com/2026/06/24/t...

Some scattered thoughts on Bob Dylan's dreamlike / supernatural set last week in Highland, CA.

🚨 uncirculated 1972 AC in here 🚨

I can't be there — but if you can be there, you SHOULD be there! SML was absolutely on fire when I caught 'em earlier this year, they are probably even better now.

You can see Colorado's finest Americanambient outfit Prairiewolf this Friday in Longmont at Absolute Vinyl.

Way higher than a mile high — Denver's Osmium House crafts luminous instrumentals that are guaranteed to send listeners spiraling into a blissful daydream.

Gotta love that Yo La Tengo played Mama Tried and Forest Hills in the same month.

Tune in tonight for a SPECIAL Father’s Day / Summer Solstice edition of Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard - 4-6pm PST. www.dublab.com/schedule/1g2...

To bring All One Song season two to a crashing finale — here’s a 3.5-hour “Down by the River” megamix spanning 55 years. Shakey sickos only. doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/8198505...

Father’s Day weekend begins

The day before ODELAY — Beck solo acoustic on the radio (including a little harmonica snippet of “Diamond Sea”!) doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/8197611...

This is a fitting finale, both guest and song choice. Kudos to Tyler and everyone at @aquariumdrunkard.com who help make the series possible!
