Morning Jeff and Avant-ghettoites. Forgot my headphones this morning, so i'm listening to this Avarus through tiny built-in laptop speakers, ZERO bass but still sounding great...

I dont like the grateful dead

Ok.

Jonathan Herweg:

Yeah I've really tried my hardest to get into the dead with very limited success. That being said I like a lot of dead-esque music.

sorry butt

the Canterbury wood-elf:

it's a long-term osmotic process
  5:15am
Mark:

No need to apologize ever for playing the Dead (or anything else). You'll never please everybody all the time, so the best thing to do is just follow your muse wherever that takes you (and us). I was listening to another show last week and I commented that the record they were playing made me think the neighbors upstairs were vacuuming. The DJ responded that he was sawing the turntable in half with a table saw. That's how you handle hecklers.
  5:16am
sorry but:

I like this Peter Walker though....
Avatar 5:17am
Jeff Conklin:

I don't hold it against anybody for not liking the Dead if they've given them a fair shot.

And I didn't mean to give the impression that I was sorry for alienating anybody by playing the Dead because I'm not ;)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:18am
coelacanth:

the dead would have been good for many years after their first few (good) albums, had bob weir never existed.
...but even with his vacuous,bland-at-best input they did make a patchwork of excellent music almost through the 70s.

Jonathan Herweg:

It's a shame that Phil Yost record Bent city is out of print, I'm dying for a copy.

pierre:

I don't get what are the main griefs against the Grateful Dead.
But again, maybe if i'd live in the US, it would be more obvious.
Avatar 5:23am
Jeff Conklin:

This new **cough** reissue **cough** is the only Yost I have on vinyl
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:25am
the Canterbury wood-elf:

@pierre Yeah, the Dead have a very different meaning within US culture (and subcultures) than they do in the UK, where no one knows much about them, and liking them doesn't come with a raft of associations and assumptions about yourself!
Avatar 5:30am
pierre:

@the Canterbury wood-elf: yeah, that's what I find absolutely fascinating about popular culture in general. You've said it very well, and very clearly.

And one of the (many) things that WFMU has taught me, is that there is no shame, or no problem with liking whatever you would like to like. I know it sounds stupid, but when you go to places and you're surrounded by poseurs, it a breath of fresh air.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:33am
coelacanth:

pierre, i'm no authority- even with 30+ years association with the band & "dead culture"...but i do think a lot of the negative feeling toward the band is an extention of negative feeling toward the "deadheads"....and i do think "deadheads" represent shallowness,apathy,mindlessness,etc....and generally assuming the role of puppet.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:36am
Sem Chumbo:

Never got the whole Deadhead subtext, likely because I never read reviews or any opinion pieces. Just followed along with the music's evolution and took it as it came.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:36am
coelacanth:

personally,i really like their first 3-4 albums -esp.the first and "vintage dead" on sunflower records; love SOME of the material from 1970-'77...then i think coke got the best of them.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:46am
the Canterbury wood-elf:

@pierre I think listening to DJ Stashu removed the last inhibitions I had about allowing myself to enjoy ANY kind of music! It's much easier now...

@coelacanth Yeah, if you read the comments left for GD shows on archive.org (the great majority from self-defining "Deadheads"), it's generally quite depressing. I can't relate, despite sharing a love of the music. The WFMU comments board, contrastingly, is one of the most nuanced, civilised and enlivening online forums I'm aware of.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:47am
coelacanth:

Sem, i think if one takes in the grateful dead as one would any other band, & not be influenced by the "culture", it would be perceived differently. they were good musicians,for the most part- especially while pig pen was around.
i own many 'dead albums (by non-deadhead standards) but- would i follow them ("tour" with them,as it's laughably phrased) around the country? NO!
i actually have a life!...and i think that regarding of grateful dead "culture" as a religion,as deadheads do, is what repels most people.
  5:50am
sorry but:

I have fpllowed Dylan round for many a year. Its not a religion.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 5:51am
Sem Chumbo:

@ coel:The quality of the process of creating art, I think, reflects the value the artist places upon it, at a singular time and place. If the quality resonates with those who experience it, the experience is satisfying.
The difficulty for early adopters is that the initial experience can never be repeated. Both the musician and the listener are always changing, and, I think, change is anathema to *being part* of something.
Good to see you here, btw:-)
