Mickey Hart--and the Archive

Jason Hoffer emailed me this week and called my attention to this conversation with Mickey Hart. In it, Hart discusses his interest in the sonic aspects of deep space and his new album, "Mysterium Tremendum." Very trippy. Also very timely for those of us in the Bay Area, since his band is playing the Fillmore tomorrow.

Speaking of timely, the Grateful Dead Archive at UC Santa Cruz opens today, and I'm planning to be there. Yesterday Krista Almanzan of KAZU, an NPR affiliate in Monterey, stopped by my office in Berkeley to tape an interview. (She wanted to hear from someone who will use the archive for research purposes.) Not sure when the story will air, but it was fun to chat with her.
