Watch Wet Leg Perform “Ur Mum” at Coachella, 2023

Generally speaking, I hate algorithms on Youtube and music sites and the like. They tend to rotate in the exact same things over and over sending you into a insipid spiral of conformity. But every now and again they will produce something wonderful.

I’d never heard of Wet Leg before today. I turned on Youtube looking for something fun to post and randomly clicked on this video of them performing at Coachella. I was instantly mesmerized. This band has something special. I’ve since listened to several more songs and am really digging them.

Check it out.

Listen To Bob Dylan Perform The Grateful Dead’s “Brokedown Palace” in Tokyo

Dylan is obviously a fan of the Grateful Dead. He toured with them in 1987 and he’s played together with various members several times. Robert Hunter co-wrote a couple of songs with him, etc., etc.

The other night he covered “Truckin‘” in Tokyo and now he’s performed “Brokedown Palace at least a couple of times. Neither version sounds particularly well rehearsed and they drift off before the song ends. But there is something there that’s magic. I hope he does spend a little time rehearsing it (and learning all the words) so that they can perform it properly sometime soon. It would make a pretty little addition to his set.

The great Ray Padgett posted both clips on his Twitter page.
