Rush is my third-favorite power trio where the bass player sings, after Primus and the Police.

Let's see… section Y, row Y, seat Z…

Bad Dead is really bad. Good Dead is really good. A lot of Deadheads couldn't tell the difference, unfortunately.

The article is wrong, 20 years ago was the last Grateful Dead concert (which was at Soldier's Field). I think the four of them have played together since then, but not as the Grateful Dead.

Futhur doesn't have the original drummers (Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann), and their future is indefinite because Bob Weir apparently is retiring from touring. Hard to say, but this might actually be the last of the post-Dead projects featuring actual members of the band, which is significant to some folks. Of…

Why does his neck need headphones for this?

"The film’s efforts to function as a character study, on the other hand, are decidedly clumsy, with Cumberbatch working a little too hard at making Turing a socially inept robot who learns how to pass as human."

I always thought of him as the jamband world's equivalent of Dennis Chambers (insane jazz drummer, similarly crazy chops). Too bad no one else in the band could keep up (excepting maybe the bassist).

The first time I heard DMB was in 1994 or 1995 - I was a sophomore in college in Massachusetts and very into music of all kinds (playing guitar in a '70s-style funk band and a jazz quartet and listening to a fair amount of Grateful Dead at the time). Someone gave me a tape of a live show containing mostly songs from…

Went to a lot of Dead shows. Never saw anyone selling baklava in the parking lot. Burritos, grilled cheese, pizza, beer, various drugs and paraphernalia … but never baklava.

So what you're saying is, I couldn't have gotten my GoT "Red Wedding" action playset in the UK? Your loss, suckers.

My pawn-a-piranha shop is doing quite well, thank you very much.

Wow, it sounds… just like pretty much any band tuning up. Not sure why it's particularly relevant that it happens to be the Grateful Dead. If you went through a couple of years of any other band's live recording archive and pieced together all the tuning bits, I imagine it would sound pretty similar.

I see you've played knifey-spooney before!

It's "pop" as in popular music (not "art" music or "genre" music). But it's not "pop" as in the current category of highly produced, dance-oriented, mainstream fodder. The term (like most music genre terms) is pretty loose.

What's so funny about peanuts on pizza? I think that sounds quite tasty.

"Stuck in the Closet with Vannah White." The line about giving him some velcro and an order of fries still makes me laugh out loud.

Too bad Lawrence Tierney's dead. He'd be perfect.

As opposed to the old Q, whose role was "dorky guy rolling his eyes at Bond and saying tech stuff."

You fail grammar? That's unpossible!
