Mark Neeley

 Greetings Dead Freaks!

Back again and this time with excellent guest, Mark Neeley an animator and frequent contributor to one of my favorite online publications, Aquarium Drunkard. We talk about his work, Grateful Dead, and more. After the talk, I play you an extremely relevant selection of Grateful Dead music. Also in this episode, I have a stack of outstanding new and upcoming music to share with you so, get ready to fill up your Bandcamp carts with some terrific new tunes.

You can find a bunch of Mark's work on Aquarium Drunkard but you can find so much more via his own website, MarkNeeley.com. In order to put a visual to our discussion, here is a lovely example of Mark's work; the music video for Spencer Collum's Coin Collection's "Imminent Shadow":

Here's a great piece from Cincinnati's "City Beat" on The Independent Eye and Neeley's work to archive it.
