The Music Never Stops with Barry Smolin: Recent Episodes
Barry Smolin
The Music Never Stops is dedicated to exploratory rock and roll in the form of Grateful Dead concert tapes, contemporary jam-rock, local freakiness and miscellaneous psychedelia. Each edition of the show features a live Grateful Dead set from a variety of eras in the band's history, as well as contemporary jamband madness and new music from various experimental, improvisational, accidental, avant-freak, wyrd-folk, and psychedelic cabaret artists or any other aural anomalies emanating from the nethersphere. Special emphasis is given to interesting offbeat local acts currently making the scene in Los Angeles.
