Tune in Sunday for Episode 8 of VICE on Beats 1

We speak with L.A. music journalist Jeff Weiss about the Grateful Dead farewell shows and preview Swedish metal monsters Ghost B.C.'s new album.

VICE's weekly show on Apple Music's Beats 1 radio marches into its eighth week this Sunday. The show begins with a megamix opening with "Doctor Pepper," a whimsical cut from K-pop star CL with help from Diplo, Riff Raff and OG Maco (with a respectably ridiculous video), and continues through cuts from FKA Twigs, who just released a new EP and video, Awful Records rapper/producer Father, punk heroes Royal Headache and more.

Then we'll jump into a conversation with L.A. music journalist Jeff Weiss, who recently catalogued the scene of the Grateful Dead's career capping "Fare Thee Well" shows for us in the epic "Ready to Die: Three Days of Drugs and Disintegration with the Grateful Dead." Following our talk with Jeff we'll catch up with the occult rock Swedes of Ghost B.C., who just released the towering Meliora, by all accounts one of the band's best. The early edition runs Sunday, August 23 at 10 AM EST / 7 AM PST, and you can catch it again at 9 PM EST / 6 PM PST. Check out the show's tracklist below.
