Song Review(s): Grateful Dead - “China Cat Sunflower” -> “I Know You Rider,” “Uncle John’s Band” and “Greatest Story Ever Told” (Live, July 31, 1974)

In addition to their knack for controlling the weather, the Grateful Dead had this other skill wherein the instrumentalists could be playing what sounded like different pieces of music that somehow gelled into one coherent song.

Take the July 31, 1974, version of “China Cat Sunflower” as a prime example. It’s out along with “I Know You Rider,” “Uncle John’s Band” and “Greatest Story Ever Told” to tease the vinyl reissue of Dave’s Picks Vol. 2, which compiles the entire show on one pristine recording. Behold drummer Bill Kreutzmann going in one direction, bassist Phil Lesh tugging the other way, pianist Keith Godchaux and guitarist Bob Weir each playing to the sounds in their heads and Jerry Garcia stitching it all together with spiderweb leads.

Amazing.

The band abandons this tack on “Rider,” and plays as a single unit with a single purpose. While the music is watertight, the Grateful Dead of ’74 cannot be accused of singing harmony well. But the playing - geez.

The singers tone it down a bit on “Uncle John’s” and actually do a passable job - despite muffing some lyrics - on the notoriously difficult-to-pull-off number. They also tone it down on their instruments, so this one is no classic.

Donna Jean Godchaux makes her only appearance in this four-pack to sing with Weir and add some solo yeah-yeah-yeahs, which aren’t helpful. Garcia is ripping throughout. But the singing - geez.

Grade card: Grateful Dead - “China Cat Sunflower” -> “I Know You Rider,” “Uncle John’s Band” and “Greatest Story Ever Told” (Live - 7/31/74) - A/B-/B-/B-

Hear them here.

2/5/24

So, about that one AU that's been marinating in my mind for years

#'second canvas will be just simple sketches' *half cleans sketches* *adds base color* *adds shading* *adds bg* WHY AM I LIKE THIS 😭#anyway- you know how the flower that gave Rapunzel her powers (and also the Kingdom) is associated with the sun?#well. here it's the opposite bc Deeva is moon coded! :]#Gotta love the fact that her wings emphasize the bird in a cage symbolism....#Ofc she doesn't have much experience flying in this AU since Mother Gothel forbid her from going outside #Talking about Mother Gothel... it's Azul HGSAHD #at first I thought maybe Vil or Crewel? but since the character later kinda makes a deal w the twin thieves it fitted him more(?)#Also yes. Cater's alias is Cameron Mägi bc... Mägi Cameron..... Magicam.... 💀💀#it doesn't sound as cool as Flynn Rider but honestly I didn't know what to call him LMAO #I'll be back w this AU someday! I still haven't drawn the iconic lantern scene!!!!#twisted wonderland #twst #twisted wonderland oc #twst oc #twst cater #deeva twst #cateeva #my art

"I was gonna say you're like a son to me.. but you're more than that."

"It ain't that complicated!"

How quickly that shoulder pat of comfort turned into a condescending one.

#he makes me feel so emo #this life was never meant for you but your fate was forced #the way dutch (and hosea) talks to arthur like he's stupid will never sit right with me #like they've been by his side over 20 years they KNOW he isn't stupid because if he was he would have been gone a long time ago #not only is arthur incredibly emotionally smart but he's a trained conman vault breaker gunslinger horse rider you name it #the fact that his own adoptive parents break him down like that hurts #it's a manipulation tactic on dutch's end - break your victims self esteem to make them chase your praise and approval #hosea I believe has just gone along with that kind of attitude but in a different way he just likes to jest lightheartedly #arthur doesn't see the difference though and it's understandable but he takes it to heart #the worst part is that hosea sees through his tough guy act and has called arthur out on it #his act is a defence mechanism to protect himself from being too vulnerable - in arthur's mind #and it isn't a sudden thing it's very likely something that has built over the years given the life he has lived #and hosea notices he knows this #but they still jab at arthur #oh it hurts #is he your son dutch? or is he your guard dog? your personal workhorse?#playing through the second time is opening my eyes more and more #rdr2 #red dead redemption 2 #mick squeaks #mick rants #mick gifs #arthur morgan #dutch van der linde #liveblogging #you guys gotta understand - arthur seeks and longs for dutch's approval he'll never say it but it's the key motive behind his loyalty #and arthur *rejects* dutch's comfort #he doesn't *want* dutch to pat him on the shoulder because he knows dutch is digging them an even deeper hole #he doesn't want that touch he craves #it's so insanely monumental for such a small scene because it shows us how arthur feels without telling us

i know that it's at partly just that i do not generally post when i ride, but fang duobing, bounciest boy on the screen at all times, posting incredibly dramatically, is very funny and charming to me. he really wakes up and is like 'fuck yeah, every day is leg day, work them thighs!'

like, sir. please. you're gonna die. how far are you riding. how can you possibly sustain that, you cannot, it is impossible. how will you walk when you get off that horse. your thighs will be of steel, by which i mean utterly incapable of moving.

#mysterious lotus casebook #fang duobing #anyhow i've remembered how to make gifs and it's gonna be everyone's problem #also this is not at all a dig #it's genuinely very charming to me!#he's a keener! he just can't help it!#but also for real: the thigh pain #excited to see how bad the tumblr compression fucks this up #sorry to actual horse people #i am not really a horse person just a person who grew up around horses #and so i know how to ride them for like...transportation reasons #you know?#i will never be a Good Rider or anything like that

Yassen (Novel version)

#Alex Rider #yassen gregorovich #fanart #you know #the blond one #“close cropped hair”#“clear blue eyes”#“pale”#“incredibly good-looking”#“Sleek”“dancer's body”#“almost feminine eyelashes”#I like all version of him but cant help myself to draw his appearance in the novel series #at least tried #not sure about chiseled lips would look like but my art style is not suitable to represent this feature i guess

Alex going behind Scorpia's back to get the Invisible Sword file. Alex Rider, S03E05: Revenge

#alexrideredit #alexridertvedit #useremz #yassen gregorovich #julia rothman #alex rider #alex rider tv #alex x julia #alex x yassen #my edits #i feel like a real conspiracy theorist for this but i went over the scenes again and alex doesn't need the lockpick for the mission!#he only needs it to break into julia's office and he's using the mission as an excuse to put it on the list #you can argue it's still useful but they seemed to know all the security measures already and we didn't see him use it #while we specifically saw him fail to break into the drawer without a lockpick and then later use it

“China Cat Sunflower” -> “I Know You Rider” -> “High Time” -> “Dire Wolf” for Day 28 of “30 Days of Dead”

If the song sequence doesn’t give it away, the sound of the band will immediately reveal the 28th of “30 Days of Dead” is culled from the early days of “China Cat Sunflower” -> “I Know You Rider” -> “High Time” -> “Dire Wolf”’s time in the Grateful Dead’s repertoire.

The keyboards - presumably Pigpen’s - are inaudible, two drummers are on the back line and it’s atonal amateur hour at the mic as Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir and Phil Lesh try and fail to harmonize on “Rider” and “High Time.”

They do better with the embryonic “Wolf” that follows, as the sparse, still-developing arrangement mandates a gentler approach that restrains the singers’ worst instincts.

Leading things off, “China Cat Sunflower” only hints at what it would become on stage. The same can be said not only of the entire 23-minute segue but also of the song-oriented iteration of the Grateful Dead that was emerging as the 1960s faded into the 1970s.

Hear them here and read Sound Bites’ previous “30 Days” coverage here.

have you seen the new kamen rider series yet?? i think it’s super cute!!

my watch group has gotten behind (alas, scheduling tomfoolery), but I'm hoping to catch up on it soon! :D what I've seen has been fast-paced but really cute; the lighter tone and premise are a nice breather after the last few series, and the Chemy are just adorable. I want my own Hopper1!
