Suddenly, a fan who may have once had a degraded and haphazard collection had access to thousands of gigs. You could spend a week listening to a year.
Read more about the afterlife for Grateful Dead fans in this New Yorker article.
Last week, we snuck Andrew Bird into our weekly recap, because we’re such huge fans and seek out any excuse to mention him, and kinda forgot that he released a brand new album today.
So, if you’re looking for a good Devil’s Night soundtrack (of the southern twang variety), stream it here for a limited time.
If you want to feel the full impact of Bird’s latest work, however, it probably helps to listen to the companion piece, Break It Yourself, released earlier this year. Most of these tracks can be found on his Live at Chautauqua Auditorium set that’s available for free, courtesy of the Internet Archive:

This particular concert, recorded live at Berlin’s Loft, on September 1, 1992, boasts a track list that heavily supports their breakthrough album, “Gish,” but also features songs from their forthcoming legendary release, “Siamese Dream.”
