Welcome to another week of work and dress shoes. On the bright side, next week is already Thanksgiving, so stay strong, and stay black. As usual, Hidden Track helps you adjust to the dimness of Monday with a healthy serving of links:
- A huge score for us: Wolfgang’s Vault adds streaming audio, with over 300 concerts available (more on this later…)
- More from the November 9th Avery Fisher Hall tribute to Uncle Robert Zimmerman: Rolling Stone found Phil Lesh disastrous, while more kudos roll in for The Roots and its version of Masters of War at the Dylan Tribute on Thursday
- As is fashionable, The legendary Toad’s Place goes on hiatus
- It’s so easy to name a string band when you’ve already picked out two of the words
- Tomorrow, Neil Young releases his first archive recording
- Here’s the Merlefest 2007 stage schedule; I bet the Burger King stage acts are gonna bring the heat, flame-broiled style
- Despite being Old & In the Way, David Dawg Grisman celebrates 30 years of playing a really tiny instrument
- Theo Epstein definitely had a better year as a guitarist than as the Red Sawx’ general manager
- Borat gets punched in NYC, and Dr. House helps him out
- Your air guitar and T-shirt are teaming up to make music (and believe it or not, an awesome demo video exists for this thing)
- Three books for our nonexistent Hidden Track book club: Blair Jackson’s Grateful Dead Gear: The Band’s Instruments, Sounds Systems, and Recording Sessions from 1965-1995; Andy Summers’s One Train Later: A Memoir; and Robert Greenfield’s Exile on Main Street: A Season in Hell with The Rolling Stones.
- Finally, let’s all caption the following picture:
As always, please put on your snarky dipshit hat and let us know of any news from the weekend we let slip through the cracks…
