For episode 67, I'm joined by Alex Bleeker of the great band, Real Estate. They released a new album, "The Main Thing" on February 28. We talk about the band, the record, Alex's solo projects and, of course, The Grateful Dead.

"The Main Thing" is out now on Domino Records and is available wherever you find your music including the band's website, https://www.realestatetheband.com/.

Alex's side project Alex Bleeker and the Freaks can be found at http://www.bleekerfreaks.com/. The great record "How Far Away" is still available via Woodsist.com.
