String Cheese Incident to release 9 disc set
September 23, 2009
From SCI Fidelity:
The String Cheese Incident unveils their new limited edition live release, Trick Or Treat, on October 27, 2009. The timing is fitting, considering the nine-disc box set was culled from a variety of epic SCI “Hulaween” shows. From Atlanta’s Variety Playhouse (1998) Philadelphia’s Electric Factory (1999), Portland, Maine’s State Theatre (2000), New York City (2001), Shrine Auditorium (2002) in Los Angeles, Sin City’s Cox Pavillion (2003) and the Exhibition Center @ Alliant Energy Center in Madison, Wisconsin (2004) – Trick or Treat journeys through the years to re-visit some of the band’s most classic Incidents from Halloween’s past.
This exclusive box set offers seven of SCI’s famous Halloween cover sets in their entirety, including String Cheese performing songs by such artists as the Beatles, Beastie Boys, KC & The Sunshine Band, Phish and many others.

Happy Birthday — John Coltrane
September 23, 2009
Bebop and free jazz saxophonist, John Coltrane would have been 83 today. To say that Coltrane was a great saxophonist is like saying Willie Mays was a good outfielder, translation = he was the best. Here’s John tackling the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic, “My Favorite Things”.
Hidden Track’s Best Of The 00′s, Parts I & II
September 23, 2009
Hidden Track’s team has picked the best albums of the 00′s. Several albums you’d expect and some you wouldn’t.
It’s been quite some time since the HT Crew got together for an old fashioned cookout, and frankly the ol’ grill was getting a bit dusty and feeling neglected. With the summer – and for that matter the decade – rapidly coming to a close we figured we’d round up the gang, throw some large hunks of meat on the fire pit and crack open a few 21st Amendment Brew Free! Or Die IPAs for another rousing edition of At The Barbecue. (Part I) (Part II)

An “ODD” conversation with Keller Williams
September 23, 2009
Jambands.com:
After the numerous high profile guests – Bob Weir, Bela Fleck, String Cheese Incident — who appeared on Keller Williams’ 2007 studio effort, Dream, the traveling tape looping troubadour goes it pretty much alone on his latest release, Odd. Fans of his live shows should feel as if they’re in a comfy environment as the 12 tracks find him moving from guitar-driven tracks to Keller-tronica, a ballad to ease the pace and much more. (more…)

Happy Birthday — Ray Charles
September 23, 2009
Ray Charles Robinson was born on this date in 1930 in Albany, GA. Born into a poor family in the heart of the depression, losing his sight at age seven, losing his brother at age five, father at ten and mother at fifteen, Ray persevered to become perhaps the greatest male soul singer of all time. Here’s Ray singing “Mess Around”, which you may remember being “air performed” by John Candy in Planes, Trains and Automobiles.
