If I had a nickel for every time I developed a new psychosomatic symptom pertaining to an otherwise innocuous scent after consuming a piece of media about the suffering caused by a difference in ability to remember the past, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it is weird that it's happened twice.

“Jam” -> “The Other One” -> “Wharf Rat” -> “Sugar Magnolia” for Day 24 of “30 Days of Dead”

More than any music that’s preceded it across 2024’s “30 Days of Dead,” the installment for Day 24 is an in-the-moment, played-once-and-left-on-stage segment.

Running some 40 minutes and thankfully preserved on tape, this Godchaux-era linkage of “Jam” -> “The Other One” -> “Wharf Rat” -> “Sugar Magnolia” finds the Grateful Dead aiming not to be just exactly perfect, but to instead let the inspiration flow through them, to the audience and, ideally, back to the stage.

It opens with drummers Bill Kreutzmann and Mickey Hart and bassist Phil Lesh revealing their fondness for the fusion of the 1970s. The full band is soon in on the action, which continues for seven minutes until the rhythm section turns the clock back to a 1960s-styled entry to “The Other One.”

Perhaps confusing the track for “Truckin’,” Bob Weir botches the one verse he sings and the song becomes a wild improvisational vehicle with elements of “Space” eventually emerging and opening up to “Wharf Rat.”

It’s quite mellow. There’s a splice that excises the some-other-fucker’s-crime verse and drops into Jerry Garcia and Donna Jean Godchaux singing tenderly and tunefully on the bridge.

The “Sugar Magnolia” that closes the mystery gig is a missing-link type of rendering, with elements of the earliest arrangements and the full-blast scorcher it would become by the 1980s.

Today’s clue from GDHQ: “A classic set closing sequence from 1973 onward through 1995.”

Tune in and turn on here.

"You make me so excited,

And I don't wanna fight it,

I start to blush,

You are my sugar rush,

Ain't nothing better, baby,

Is it for real, or maybe?

I start to blush,

You are my sugar rush,"

13 years today 💕✨🌸

Getting older with someone you love is wild. The ups and downs, the health scares, the cheerleading, etc.

He has been the kind of support that has forever changed my life and perspective. I love my silly goat man and how he puts up with my Leo attitude.

I’m doing this cheesy exercise inspired by a recent @thisamerlife episode, finding little moments of joy in everyday life and it’s been a powerful experience, even for this grumpy old witch. After 50 turns around the sun, it’s sometimes hard for me to find joy but this exercise has been rewarding; with this eyeball issue it’s been easy to adopt a bleak outlook. But reminding myself everyday to find things that feel joyful has been good for me; I feel less stressed, not as quick to anger, more engaged with nature, more meditative, more patient. So I thought I’d share a few things that brought me joy this week and invite you to share if you feel so inclined. It feels really good, I promise.

—I heard a rumor that Kate Bush is recording a new album. If she tours I’m there.

—My favorite birds, Bewickii’s wrens have been visiting my garden and eating up aphids.

—I bought a wine bottle corker and I want to give mead to all my friends when it’s ready.

—I listened to a podcast about the Tudor musician William Byrd and cried when they played his music.

—I went to see Barbie alone and smuggled in a sandwich and a can of wine and I laughed and cried nonstop. Someone booed Jared Leto during the previews.

—I had an amazing conversation with my friend Ceci about sexism and I haven’t stopped thinking about it. Read Merlyn Stone’s book When God Was a Woman if you need some feminist bolstering.

—I was singing Sugar Magnolia on my way to the candle supply place and I stopped at a convenience store for a cold drink, and Sugar Magnolia was playing when I went in.

—My ancient feeble cat Moxie is in love with a cardboard box and is suddenly a kitten again.

She's got everything I need

Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double

Pays my ticket when I speed

OCs As Tarot Pairs

Tagged by @corvosattano to do this uquiz for some of my girls and their terrible men!! Thank you!!

+ Raphael

the devil + the emperor there's only one religion for the two of you, and that religion is the other. you two are very nearly unhealthily obsessed with one another, and that's just how you like it. when they touch you, they can feel the blood pumping under the surface of your skin. your hearts beat for one another. when the day comes that one stops, the other will soon after. until then, you both will live out your lives in perfect, gothy paradise.

+ Reese Bobby

the tower + the lovers meeting this person shook your whole world. crumbling down is everything you thought you knew about life and love. their warmth, their generosity, their naivete, their knowing...! you don't know how anything made sense before them. all you know is that nothing will make sense afterwards.

+ Holland March

Knight of pentacles + the magician if there's something you want, you will GET IT. nothing escapes your fingertips. after all, you're the power couple. your pairing sparks pure cosmic energy. you're fiercely driven to your goals - whether that be status, fortune, or power. you're also fiercely protective of one another. with the knight's earthy energy, you both prefer to purposefully make your way towards your ambitions, rather than playing cards too early or acting too loosely. meanwhile, the magician's half makes gives you a little fire. if they get too close, onlookers and threats to your relationship may get burned.
