NEW DVD/BLU-RAY: GET SLIGHTLY STOOPID WITH BOB WEIR AND OTHERS

slightly stoopidPREVIEW/BUY THE DVD/CD HERE

In 2011, Slightly Stoopid was invited by the Grateful Dead and Furthur’s Bob Weir into his state of the art TRI Studios and brought down some of their close friends, family, and musical guests for an unprecedented live webcast and in-studio performance. Their good friend Tommy Chong hosted the event and provided some “Wisdom.” Their extended family of musical guests joining and playing on the session included Karl Denson, Ivan and Ian Neville of Dumpstaphunk, Don Carlos, and Bob Weir himself!

The result is a 31-song/2-set acoustic and electric performance including behind the scenes rehearsal footage and a rare interview segment moderated by Tommy Chong & Bob Weir.

Last but not least, a portion of all proceeds will benefit two charitable organizations whom the band supports: Save the Children and World Food Programme.

VINYL WORD: HARD-TO-FIND MOGWAI FRENCH TV SOUNDTRACK IN STOCK!

mogwaiBUY THE VINYL HERE

“Les Revenants” (“the ones who came back”), a French TV program for which Mogwai provides the soundtrack, is a gorgeously subtle, harrowing drama that explores the reality of loved ones returning from the grave. These “zombies” aren’t grisly maniacs hungry for flesh, but humans in their pre-death state who return to their tiny community, a twin town to Twin Peaks nestled in the crook of some mountains and swaddled in perpetual night, as if they’d just popped out for air. The soundtrack album Les Revenants contains not a shred of the terror Mogwai is capable of wreaking, and it works terrifically — it rarely comes off overly dramatic or leading, and matches the unsettling feel of the show.

Mogwai had only seen a few English scripts for the drama before they started on the music. “We were aware of trying to keep it not as a typical soundtrack, more just music that doesn’t necessarily do anything that has a bit of presence,” guitarist John Cummings told the Quietus. That’s underselling it a bit; there’s no need to see the TV show (though I’d highly recommend it) to appreciate the subtlety of Mogwai’s score.Pitchfork
