30 days of the Dead

It’s the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos), but the folks at Dead.net are expanding the holiday to fill the entire month via “30 Days of the Dead.”

Every day this month, Dead.net is offering a new song to download free. Most are soundboard recordings that never have been officially released. I’m listing to a nice version of “New Speedway Boogie” that I just downloaded. Can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings. I guess it won’t be the first time the Dead have feasted on my brain …

More Rory on the way

JamBase reports that two new posthumous Rory Gallagher releases are on the way, including a DVD biography of the guitar great. Can’t wait to see that. He’s one of rock’s most underrated guitarists, especially when he picked up the slide. I’ve been a fan since I was a kid and managed to see him open for Jefferson Starship at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh in 1979. He blew the doors off the Stanley, and he blew the Starship off the stage. Rest in peace, Rory.
