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.

And here are those all-important bandcamp links I promised:

Tacoma Park's new, self-titled album is available here.

Double Drummer

Hey there, Dead Freaks! We've got an epic episode coming at you to help pass a bit of these weird wild times. Drummers, Ryan Jewell and Joe Westerlund join the show in separate chats to discuss their new albums, music that inspires them, and The Grateful Dead!

Ryan Jewell is returning (see ep. 49) to discuss his previously delayed but now available Mosses album, T.V. Sun (digital, Physical direct via Ryan instagram). We also get into some of the shows I've seen him play since he was on and several new other records he's been on, too!

Joe Westerlund is a player that I've know since he was in the terrific group, Megafaun. These days, in between working with Sylvan Esso on a recent tour and backing Mandolin Orange, Joe has made a beautiful record called, Reveries In The Rift (digital, physical).
