This post is a reflectionary note that I haven't been listening to jambands at all lately! I'm not sure if its due to a shift in personal preferences or if its due to the death of all my favorite bands that has alienated me from the community. First love- Phish- Gone then back gone again. Second love- The Dead- (Briefly reunited for some shows at Red Rocks)- Dead (again). Third love- String Cheese- Adios. It is a crappy old cliche that it is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved (or something crappy like that). I agree but I'm still pissed that all my favorite bands are gone.
I've found some new tunes by searching the airwaves (This is not true because in fact I've been listening to these songs on my conmputer but I'm not sure what listening to music online is called). Here is one of my recent discoveries that is definitely not a new band but new to me (If I haven't heard it its new to me!! (Said like the NBC slogan from a few years back to promote their reruns)). The second song is probably my favorite song of all time.
Wilco- Jesus, etc.- I love all songs about Jesus thanks to the great music of Faith+1
Elliott Smith- A Fond Farewell- Sadly, Elliott's dead (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elliott_smith), but his music is unreal. Check out his albums Figure 8 and From a Basement on a Hill.
ps- COME TO IGLU THIS WEEKEND!!!
