The Cat in the Hat says:


Thor & Friends - Medieval


A video for the Thor & Friends song Medieval, directed by Andy Byers. "I met Andy in 2004. He was playing in great band called Minus Story made up of 4 childhood friends from Boonville Missouri. I was touring with Shearwater. I loved these young , smart men and their dark twisted humor. In fact Jordan, the singer and keyboard player of Minus Story is now a core member of Thor&Friends. Andy has gone on to make all sets and costumes for Isabella Rossellini's Green Porno film as well as other artistic achievements. He still does work with her and he started a record label called Cosmic Dreamer. I was over the moon when he offered to make a video for Thor&Friends."

Bob Weir - Live at The Capitol Theatre Port Chester NY (16/10/16)

Bob's 69th Birthday Show with Steve Kimock, Bryan Devendorf, Scott Devendorf, Jon Shaw, Josh Kaufman and Leslie Mendelson. Aaron Dessner also performed with the band for most of the show. He was originally set to tour with the band but had to cancel. Three unannounced female backup singers were also present.
Got to say that Weir's new album 'Blue Mountain' is one of the surprise albums of the year for me. I know a lot of my old deadhead friends had no time for The National curated 'Day of The Dead' covers album but it certainly seems to have fired new life into Bobby

Set 1:
One More Saturday Night

Notes From Chaos: Page 55 - John Murphy (1959 - 2015)


One year passed since John Murphy's death and Notes From Chaos takes a look at some of his works, associations and collaborations dividing the 2 hour podcast into two sections: First hour focused in the 80's and the second hour in the 2000's paying tribute to one of the most active and multifarious musicians in Australia. The episode's sounds varied from New Wave (The Associates) and industrial (Lustmord) to Neofolk (Death In June & Boyd Rice's Scorpion Wind) including bands being member like Knifeladder and Last Dominion Lost and less known collaborations with Espectra Negra (which i thank her for her contribution) and Australian experimental band Gum.
