This week, Christopher K. Coffman curates the setlist as returning champ Drane is joined by Dave, Paul, and Bart.

Chris is a Master Lecturer of Humanities at Boston University, and the author of Clowns in the Burying Ground: The Grateful Dead, Literature, and the Limits of Philosophy, out now via Duke University Press under its Grateful Dead Studies imprint. The book examines how the Dead’s lyricists drew from European and American literary traditions, using intertextuality and fragmentation to shape meaning in their work.

This week’s prize pack is provided by Seastones, which makes custom hi-fi speakers with psychedelic, custom panels. Seastones recently shared prototypes for the new speakers drawing from the Dead’s pre 1974 sound system, and featuring vintage surfboard inlays.
