We’d like to welcome yet another new member to our ever-growing Hidden Track staff, Jack Spilberg. Jack’s a longtime contributor to Glide’s main site where he’s written about Lyrics Born, Brett Dennen and Jack Johnson among others. Enough with the prelims, here’s Jack’s first column…
As a part of last summer’s Jack Johnson’s Sleep Through the Static Tour, a series of really slick-looking, limited edition concert posters were drawn up by select artists. According to Johnson’s site, the posters were printed up in numbered editions of only 300, and sold during the concert stops. You were lucky if you happened to score one of them during the tour, as they are not available for sale anywhere else right now. A full set of signed posters will supposedly be auctioned off sometime soon- check back on the site for a chance to place a bid.
It is not surprising that many of the artists involved with this concert poster art project are tied to the surf scene. While many of the designs have an organic, surfer-art vibe, there is a nice mix or urban and underground artists who give the poster series a more eclectic vibe.
Here’s a look at 12 of the 15 posters in the full set and links to the artists’ sites…

Ok, sure, I’m a bit late to the party on writing a traditional review of the inaugural Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival, but with that being said I thought I’d just weigh in with some observations on the three day fest that took place in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park a little less than a month ago with a bit of an open letter to it. So without further ado…
Dear Outside Lands-
First things first, so lets get this out of the way: I throughly enjoyed the time that I spent walking the grounds, seeing music and enjoying the general vibe of very well organized fest. How can anyone complain about the eclectic line up that was packed with both local and national powerhouse acts? Or one of the best food selections you’re going to encounter at a large scale event. Bringing in local vendors to serve high-quality fare was a welcome change of pace from what you’d find at the majority of multi-day events. Anyone that had the BBQ oysters, the pulled pork or the tasty Mexican food can back me up on this.
But with that being said, in order to make this a destination for out-of-towners or just a return trip for the locals there are probably some things we need to talk about before I can commit to returning for version 2.0. We know with anything in its first year there are bound to be some hiccups and no matter how much planning goes into it things will pop up at the last minute that you just didn’t think of. So we know that your hard at work thinking about next year. Here’s just some things that as an attendee might be useful…
