  • Grateful Dead / Phish Alpaca Fur Hoodies

    There’s been a number of these bad boys floating around the lots the last year or so and I’ve seen a lot of people looking for them.  They’re made from Alpaca fur (naturally) and I don’t have one myself but they look pretty fuzzy and comfortable.  Many of them have the Grateful Dead dancing bears…

  • Top 24 One-Hit Wonders of the Decade

    Billboard just released their list of the top 24 one hit wonders of the decade.

  • Grateful Deadopoly – Now You Can Own Shakedown Street!

    As I was perusing Twitter last night I noticed a bunch of retweets from @DeadOpoly. It seems that someone went ahead and created the Grateful Dead edition of Monopoly.

  • Bob Lefsetz on Widespread Panic vs. Britney Spears

    For those who don’t know, Bob Lefsetz (@lefsetz) is a somewhat “outspoken” music-industry figure.  He can tend to rant in many of his articles, but his ultimate redeeming trait is calling bullshit where it stands.  He’s a voice for those among us, old and young, who believe the current state of the pop music industry…

  • The Bacon Brothers – Kevin Bacon Can Sing?

    While surfing through Facebook today I noticed a YouTube link to The Bacon Brothers on The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn Ferguson. Apparently Kevin Bacon not only can dance and act, but he sings and plays guitar? And he’s good at it? Quite the renaissance man if you ask me. Apparently they’ve been playing…
