Beefcake Lando?

Have you seen Josh's new Profile photo???

I'm speechless.


This goes far far far beyond all bounds of decency.

[taps mic, sharp feedback] Sup Yall.

Which songs from the last jam are your current favorites? Let's hear some nominations. Post 'em.

Man, there are so many good ones...
I like Lay Down, Wedding Song, and Something On Your Mind the best right now.



Also, do you listen to jams at which you were not present? Is physical presence at a jam required to care about it?

(Update 5/8/06) I gotta admit that it is hard to get interested in a sans-Sid jam. I fight that urge, though, because I realize it's an expression of selfishness. Indeed, these jams are not about egocentric glory or competition. Listening to them is not about individuals. It's about a collective, synthetic (i.e. "from synthesis, the integration of disparate parts'') product of a group of dudes in the moment. Inherent in 'being in the moment' is a relaxation of one's Ego, one's sense of Self, and of all artificial boundaries, to be open to all possibilities. In those moments, we discover our true natures as open vessels of flowing transient sensations. Like smoke in a vase, we take on the characteristics of our experiences. Thus, these recordings are then actually the sounds of those Moments (the smoke), not the sounds of the people there. This is why the cast of any particular session or track is irrelevant to its substance and value. Every Moment we capture is worth everyone's attention. Even yours.
