Grayfolded - John Oswald (and the Grateful Dead)
It has been a weird and uneasy week. I don't know what to make of world events like yesterday's bombing in Spain, the churning and somehow stationary United States economy, and the ever-widening push to 'clean up' our airwaves.
So out comes two full CD's the Dead classic "Dark Star" put through the Oswald filter. The source material was live Grateful Dead recordings spanning nearly their entire career. The result is somehow both disturbing and soothing.
