Friday Mix Tape: Reprises Reprised

For most of us, the word “reprise” brings to mind one thing, Tweezer Reprise. But there have been plenty of other uses of the reprise over the years. For this

F4tF: Key West Eating and Drinking

Last week, I found myself in Key West, FL visiting an old chef friend, spending some time networking and mostly enjoying the general slow pace of life that the Southernmost City in the Continental U.S. can offer. I had the chance to check out a couple of interesting places while I was there. One was a cool burrito place, the other was a new craft beer bar.


When I arrived in Key West, I spent some time with my chef friend’s son, who is also a chef and a good friend. After he asked if I was hungry and I told him I was, he told me that he was headed to one of his favorite off the beaten path – as in non-touristy – places in Key  West, BadBoy Burrito.


I had never heard of them before he took me.  Not in any trade magazines, food blogs, Twitter or anything. The first thing you notice when you walk in is that there is no fancy menu, no gimmicky names for the burritos, just a list of the veggies and meats, sauces/salsas and toppings. The system is simple:  one meat, one sauce or salsa, three toppings.

Brett Dennen: Loverboy

There’s a bias among many that for something to be artistic, it has to be dark and moody. Poetry is only high art, they reason, if it dwells on the negative aspects of the human experience. For that reason, those who focus on positive vibes are often under appreciated. It is exactly in that positivity, however, that Brett Dennen thrives.

David Lemieux – The Key To The Dead’s Vaults

In Doug Collette’s conversation with Grateful Dead archivist David Lemieux. Lemieux’s enthusiasm is so highly infectious for his work in general and in specific about his current project Europe ’72: The Complete Recordings, that it only takes one statement or interrogatory for him to head off on another charged explication of the process behind that project, the general checklist for an archive title or the thought behind the genesis of complete Dead runs in the wake of Fillmore West 1969: The Complete Recordings.

The B List: Stage Setlist Porn, Pt. 6

Back in April of 2008, we kicked off a series of B Lists devoted to Stage Setlist Porn in which we presented images of 60 stage setlists that rabid fans had saved from the scrap heap. Each day a number of images tagged “setlist” have been uploaded to Flickr and once again we sorted through most of those pics to bring you a batch of 10 kickass stage setlists.


1. Grace Potter and the Nocturnals – 04/02/11 Colchester, VT


Grace often shares her stage setlists through the band’s Lockerz account and we particularly dig this one thanks to the list of “Tweezer Tease” with a hand-written note that it was in tribute to Phish’s 1992 performance at St. Mike’s College – the school where the Nocturnals were playing that night.
