WatchPre-summer of love documentary about the Haight. Neat stuff. Includes awesome livingroom shot of Pigpen at the 21 minute mark during a brief visit to 710.
It’s curious to see this type of scene and realize nobody has their cellphones out taking pictures or statusing or whatever. Feels so much more in the moment and authentic and sincere. Also probably because of the beards. Damn right.

The Decemberists - Row Jimmy (Grateful Dead cover) by jp917
An unexpected Grateful Dead cover just showed up on the B-side of a new 7” by The Decemberists. It’s simple and true and after a couple of listens I’m gonna go ahead and just call it really nice.
