A couple weeks ago FADER dedicated their current issue to Jerry Garcia, and on top of that, decided to distribute the .pdf of it for free.  Though the Grateful Dead will give any band a run for a spot in my all time top 5, I’ve rarely posted on them here at Burning Oak and the last two posts plus this one make up the first three Grateful Dead posts at the site.  Sad, eh?  Oh well, I’ll make up for it with a Garcia podcast, link, a free Garcia magazine, and if you stay tuned in the next week or so, a Garcia poster/shirt giveaway compliments of Burning Oak and FADER magazine.  Good stuff, no?

Obadiah Parker covering the Outkast song “Hey Ya,” with parts of the original music video mixed in. Video done by Brian Shaler. Apparently this went around on some music blogs last fall but I never saw it.

I pulled back into Urbana this morning after an exciting weekend in Chillicothe, IL, at Summer Camp 2007. Despite some inclement weather throughout the weekend and an unfortunate car accident along the way, it was a great weekend of music living up to all of my expectations for Summer Camp in the past. There are already some torrents showing up which I will be tracking here, and some news coverage from the local Peoria newspaper, including a police report (there was some heavier police presence than previous SC’s), and some coverage of Les Claypool’s activity, the events surrounding Summer Camp almost not returning to Chillicothe, and a report on the festivalgoers.

In the meantime until I get some more coverage up, enjoy some photos. My full photos from the festival can be found at Flickr.
