Shakedown Street is the tenth studio album (fifteenth overall) by rock band the Grateful Dead, released November 15, 1978, on Arista Records. The album came just over a year after previous studio album Terrapin Station. It was the final album for Keith and Donna Jean Godchaux, who left the band a few months after its release. The record was produced by Lowell George (of Little Feat) and John Kahn.

Recording
Toward the end of the Grateful Dead's 1974–1976 hiatus, they rented a Front Street warehouse in San Rafael. In 1977, when lead guitarist Jerry Garcia was rehearsing with the Jerry Garcia Band for the recording of Cats Under the Stars, they decided to capture the sound of the room, installing studio recording equipment. The rehearsal/storage space was then convenient for recording Shakedown Street, as lobbied for by Garcia. The Dead again worked with an outside producer, but this time they sought a fellow and respected musician. Drummer Bill Kreutzmann said "We didn't want to work with Keith Olsen again, but we had to keep our promise to Clive Davis and have someone in the producer's chairso we hired Little Feat's Lowell George."

Drummer-percussionist Mickey Hart exerted greater influence than previously, earning three co-compositional credits in addition to assisting with the arrangements of several songs, including Garcia/Hunter's title track (influenced by his interest in the Bee Gees and disco). As with the previous album's "Terrapin Flyer", Hart and Kreutzmann wrote a percussion-based instrumental track ("Serengetti"), recording it at the compound of Rolling Thunder, in Nevada. Hart's reggae-informed "Fire on the Mountain", with lyrics by Garcia's writing partner Robert Hunter, evolved from "Happiness is Drumming", which appeared on his Diga Rhythm Band's 1976 album. Although an attempt to record the song for Terrapin Station proved to be unsuccessful, it rapidly evolved into one of the band's principal jamming vehicles (often paired with Garcia's "Scarlet Begonias") during their spring 1977 tour. Hart and Hunter's "France" was sung by Donna Godchaux and rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, who devised the final arrangement and earned a compositional credit. Donna made her second, and final, singing-songwriting performance on a Dead studio album with "From the Heart of Me". (In between her two contributions, she also wrote and sang "Rain" on Cats Under the Stars.) Her background as a gospel-soul session singer at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio is evident in her vocal delivery.

"Stagger Lee" is an original Garcia/Hunter composition based on the oft-covered folk song. The duo also contributed the torch song "If I Had the World to Give," an atypical work in their oeuvre. According to Hunter, "Jerry and I sat down and on a lark decided to write a romantic song, just for the heck of it. We were feeling sensitive because someone said 'Oh you write songs about guys for guys.' Something that would sound good in an old '50s cocktail loungethat was the idea."

Contrasting with disco, California soft rock and ballads were the songs brought by Weir. Written with lyricist John Perry Barlow, "I Need a Miracle" is a rave-up rocker featuring his longtime friend and Kingfish bandmate Matthew Kelly on harmonica. Two Weir-sung covers
Noah Lewis's "All New Minglewood Blues" and the Young Rascals' "Good Lovin'"originally dated from the first years of the band (the latter previously sung by Ron "Pigpen" McKernan) but were presented in more contemporary arrangements. George would take "Six Feet of Snow," a collaboration with Keith Godchaux, to his next Little Feat album, Down on the Farm.

With studio sessions uncompleted, the Grateful Dead made three concert appearances. To help pay for the opportunity to play three dates in front of the Great Sphinx of Giza and bring a large entourage to Egypt, they performed two concerts at Red Rocks and one at Giants Stadium. The shows gave them the opportunity to test five of the songs in front of audiences and work on the arrangements (see also Rocking the Cradle: Egypt 1978). Concerned with finishing the album in time for a US fall tour, the Dead then cancelled concerts scheduled for the UK that were to follow Egypt concurrent with returning borrowed equipment to The Who. With Lowell George no longer available, the album was finished with Jerry Garcia Band bassist John Kahn producing and taking over the organ seat for the troubled Godchaux. George died just months after the album's release.

Release
The album cover art is by underground comix artist Gilbert Shelton. The front cover features the cartoonist's reimagining of the San Rafael warehouse district where the band had their practice and storage facility.  Characters in the illustration resemble those from Shelton's The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. The back cover features the "Invisible Pimp", Shelton's character in a green zoot suit, twirling the fob of his watch chain and finger snapping. Sometimes called the "Doo-Dah Man" (after a lyric in "Truckin'"), it was originally drawn as a skeleton, but then rendered bodyless, except for smiling teeth and a pair of eyes. It became one of the many icons associated with the Grateful Dead, appearing in all manner of official and fan-produced art.

At the height of punk rock's California-centric second wave, the Grateful Dead were perceived by critics as having gone out of touch and abandoning their experimental edge by producing an album informed by disco and softer rock. Disco dominated the charts in the year following the massive success of Saturday Night Fever, but the dance-floor rhythms and production standards of the genre were seen as antithetical to traditional rock by many fans who viewed such changes in style as trend-following and mainstream-baiting. Fans were uneasy with what they sensed was a sell-out attempt, though ultimately the band's crucial live performances continued on their own organic trajectory as the new songs entered set list rotation. According to Kreutzmann, "Deadheads refer to this album, and even this era, as Disco Dead. I can see why. … Given the material and the producer, Shakedown Street just wasn't as good as it should have been." However, Hart has been forthright about the collusion between band and label to make a commercial-sounding album: "We were trying to sell out'Oh, let's make a single and get on the radio'. Sure. We failed miserably once again. I mean, we could never sell out even if we tried, and we tried". Although it ultimately attained a RIAA gold certification in 1987, the album was the band's first studio effort since Aoxomoxoa to fail to enter the Billboard Top 40, only peaking at #41 during a nineteen-week chart stay.

Comparatively few of the album's songs can technically be considered discochiefly the title track, which features the four-on-the-floor beat, chicken-scratch guitar, syncopated bass and off-beat, lift-and-close hi-hat that were hallmarks of the genre. Other songs have the Latin syncopation and production sheen associated with the style, but rely on rock arrangements and guitar-based instrumentation, lacking the synthesizers and horn sections favored by disco. The larger stylistic change from the previous studio album was the move toward polyrhythmic backing and steelpan and cross-beat drumming, centered on Hart, and the increase in soft rock or ballad tracks. Donna Godchaux called the light and bouncy tone of the album "almost tongue-in-cheek".

The week of the album's release, the Grateful Dead appeared on Saturday Night Live at the behest of Al Franken and Tom Davis. Their first of two appearances on the show, it was also their first time on a major network broadcast. They performed twice, playing "Casey Jones" and "I Need a Miracle>Good Lovin'" (the former was released on SNL25, The Musical Performances, Volume 1).

Two singles were released from the album. "Good Lovin" (b/w "Stagger Lee") is an edited version, with one verse excised and an early fade-out. It was followed by "Shakedown Street" (b/w "France"), in an edited version that excises a verse, a chorus, and a guitar solo.

The new arrangement of "New Minglewood Blues" had been in live rotation for two years and that of "Good Lovin" for more than one year. Both remained in the group's rotation for the duration of their career, along with "Shakedown Street", "I Need a Miracle", "Stagger Lee" and "Fire on the Mountain". After just three performances, "If I Had the World to Give" was dropped by the end of 1978 due to its challenging vocal range. "From the Heart of Me" was performed for the rest of Godchaux's tenure. "France" and "Serengetti" were never performed live.

By the late 1980s, the name "Shakedown Street" was co-opted by Deadheads as an ironic name for the midway-like area for vending, performance and socializing that would appear in parking lots and locales adjacent to concert venues, set up by those following Grateful Dead concert tours.

Shakedown Street was released on CD in 1987. It was remastered and expanded for the Beyond Description box set in October 2004. This version was separately released March 7, 2006, by Rhino Records.

There are a lot of new brands making audio accessories such as headphones and wireless speakers, and Zaap is among the newest. The brand was founded in 2015 and has since gained a following thanks to its strong pricing and feature-filled products. The latest product from the company is the Zaap Aqua Xtreme, a pair of wireless earphones, priced at Rs. 2,949. The earphones have a water resistance rating of IPX7, making them capable of submersion in up to 1m of water for up to 30 minutes.
The Zaap Aqua Xtreme also has what the company calls a Nano-X coating, which is said to further enhance the protection against water. The water resistance rating makes it ideal for working out, use in wet weather, and even listening sessions at the beach or by the pool. The earphones are available to buy online and offline, and are currently on sale on Amazon India for Rs. 2,499.
The wireless earphones come with Bluetooth 4.1, and have a Qualcomm CSR Bluetooth chipset that also supports the aptX Bluetooth codec and the Qualcomm-developed CVC 6.0 noise cancellation technology for voice calls. The Aqua Xtreme has a 90mAh battery, which is claimed to offer up to 9 hours of use on a single charge. The earphones also have dedicate volume control buttons and a multi-function button that controls power, call functions, and playback.
Zaap, with its latest product, is hoping to cater to fitness and outdoor-focused listeners thanks to the IPX7 rating for water resistance. Blaupunkt also recently launched a similar product called the BE-10 Floatz, which is also IPX7-rated and is priced at Rs. 2,499.

What you might be surprised to find is that email carries its own set of lingo. If you're not used to these, opening an email to find it full of "EOD"s and "LMK"s will send you on a long trip to Google just to decipher a message — even if you know other internet slang 30 Trendy Internet Slang Words and Acronyms to Know in 2019 30 Trendy Internet Slang Words and Acronyms to Know in 2019 The internet is constantly evolving, making it difficult to keep up with modern slang. Here are some trendy internet words you should know. Read More .
Don't worry, we're here to help. Here's a big list of email acronyms so you can get caught up on what they all mean. Once you've mastered them, using these to create catchy subject lines will improve your own messages!
1. OOO (Out of Office)
Let's start with an easy one. OOO, or out of office, means that you're not at work when you reply to the email. Perhaps you're on vacation for the week and are only checking email periodically. This acronym lets people know that they shouldn't expect an immediate response. It's typically used as an automatic responder How to Set Up an Email Out of Office Responder Before You Go on a Trip How to Set Up an Email Out of Office Responder Before You Go on a Trip Wouldn't you love to go on vacation knowing you don't have to check your email? If you can't rely on an assistant while you're away, turn to autoresponders in Gmail. Read More .
"I am OOO until Friday, August 25. Please direct all questions to Mark Simmons."
2. WFH (Working From Home)
Like OoO, this one lets others know that you're working remotely for the day Want to Work Remotely? Here's How to Convince Your Boss Want to Work Remotely? Here's How to Convince Your Boss Do you really have to be at the office to do your job? If you could work from home, follow this step-by-step guide to convince your boss to let you try it.

One good thing about working from home is you get to set the dress code and the dress code here is always 'pants optional'.
— ?Lisa? (@lasergirl70) August 3, 2017
"WFH Today. Our meeting in room 24B will instead take place on Wednesday."
3. EOM (End of Message)
Here's a big time-saver. If your entire message fits into the subject line, people don't need to waste time opening it. Thus, ending your header with EOM allows people to read the subject, take action if needed, and delete the message.
"Sam let us know that we're clear to proceed on this project. EOM"
4. PRB (Please Reply By)
We all know some people who take forever to respond to email. If you're sending a message and need to know everyone's input by a certain time, include a PRB date to request a swift reply.
"I need to know who can help out at the charity event this weekend. PRB Thursday 8/24"
5. NRN (No Reply Necessary)
Have you ever been chugging along at your work, only to see an email notification that draws your attention How to Do More in a Day by Blocking Mobile Distractions How to Do More in a Day by Blocking Mobile Distractions When you're trying to concentrate, distractions are a nightmare. It's time to block distractions and get things done with some free apps for Android and iOS. Read More ? Upon opening it, you find a simple "Great, thanks!" This wastes your time and email space. Including NRN in your subject lets people know that they don't have to respond with a two-word answer.
Just write, "I know you're thankful, no reply email necessary" on your next 3 or 4 emails and the problem should go away.
— Grand Rapids Library (@GRapidsLibrary) April 25, 2017
"We're meeting in Room 5A instead of 4C. NRN"
6. NSFW (Not Safe for Work)
This is a common abbreviation you'll see elsewhere online to indicate that the content you're about to open is explicit How to Ban Windows 10 Ads & NSFW Content from Your Desktop How to Ban Windows 10 Ads & NSFW Content from Your Desktop Windows 10 may be crossing a line with desktop ads and NSFW content. Microsoft and third-party developers can push promotional material directly onto your desktop. We show you how you can defend yourself. Read More . Usually this refers to sexually explicit material or an influx of swearing that you wouldn't want to have open in the workplace for your coworkers to see or hear. You should probably think twice about sending this kind of content through business email, though.
Just been sent an email with the heading "Is mesh underwear practical" #NSFW I reckon.
— Darren (@DazzlesOfficial) August 9, 2017
"[NSFW] This new Chris Rock stand-up bit is vulgar but hilarious!"
7. SFW (Safe for Work)
Flipping the above acronym on its head gives us SFW. You can use this acronym when you're sending a file or linking to something that sounds inappropriate but really isn't.
"[SFW] The pictures on the EarthPorn subreddit make for great desktop wallpapers!"
8. FYI (For Your Information)
You've probably heard FYI in everyday life, but it can have a few different uses depending on how you use it. Used in the body of an email, it can indicate a side thought. But in the subject of an email, it's commonly used to let the receiver know that you're providing this email just so that have the info contained inside and don't expect a response. This is commonly used when forwarding a message.
"FYI: Next month, IT support will be upgrading everyone to Office 2016."
9. AR (Action Required)
Sometimes it's tough to determine whether an email is requiring anything of you or if it's just for information. The AR acronym can help clear this up. Use it to let the recipient know that you're giving them a specific task to complete. You'll probably expound on this in the email body.
"Frank wasn't happy with last month's performance. AR: Create a report of our hours worked."
10. LET (Leaving Early Today)
If you're heading out earlier than usual How Just 4 Steps Can Help You Enjoy a 5-Hour Work Day How Just 4 Steps Can Help You Enjoy a 5-Hour Work Day Spending long hours on work isn't necessary. You can use some proven methods and tools to help you achieve a 5-hour work day and maximize productivity. Read More , include this message in your subject line. This lets others know that you won't be around until the end of the day.
"Can't help clean up after the presentation — LET"
11. EOD/COB (End of Day/Close of Business)
When giving a timeline for when you plan to send something (or when you need something done by), these are useful acronyms. They're basically interchangeable. As a plus COB can generically refer to work hours somewhere else, such as "I need this by COB Pacific Time."
"I'll have that spreadsheet to you by EOD."
12. BTW (By the Way)
You've almost certainly used this in informal conversation. BTW works to add an afterthought to an email message. If you forget to send some important info and have to send a second email right after it, including BTW helps people realize it's connected to your past message.
"BTW, I forgot to mention that anyone who's willing to help with this will get lunch on me."
13. TLTR (Too Long to Read)
Nobody likes an essay of an email 5 Email Sins You May Be Committing... & How to Redeem Yourself 5 Email Sins You May Be Committing... & How to Redeem Yourself Email is here to stay but there are some sinners who are making it worse for the rest of us. Even if you are a sinner, you're not doomed to an eternity of suffering. Read More . Taking ten minutes to read through a complicated and lengthy message is a lot to ask of some busy folks. You can use TLTR to kindly let someone know that their message is too long and you'd appreciate a summary.
"TLTR. I'd love to help with this but I don't have the time to digest the full message right now."
14. TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read)
This is a sister to the above acronym and is also wildly popular online 30 More Internet Slang Words and Acronyms You Need to Know 30 More Internet Slang Words and Acronyms You Need to Know These are just some of the slang words and acronyms today's youth is speaking online or in the real world. Add them to your street speak. Read More . Whenever you post a big chunk of text, it's customary to include a TL;DR section at the bottom summarizing it in a few sentences or bullet points. Then people who don't care to read the entire email can just get the highlights. It's not as common to include in a subject, but it could still work.
TL;DR is Too Long; Didn't Read. As in "what's the 140 character summary for those who don't want to click the link?"
— Matthew Klippenstein (@EclecticLip) August 9, 2017
"TL;DR: The Rogers case has become a big problem. Don't bring this up until we've made an announcement on Thursday. Reach out to Dan with questions."
15. Y/N (Yes or No?)
When you ask a question in an email and need a response, sometimes you just want a quick yes or no. If you don't need people to send a lengthy reply, indicate that a simple positive or negative response will do.
"Is the new internet restriction affecting your work? Y/N"
What Email Acronyms Do You Love?
These aren't the only email acronyms, but many others are variations of the core group listed here. Knowing these will help you process email more quickly, and even form more engaging emails when you're the sender.
However, you should beware of using abbreviations too often or in the wrong situations. A quick WFH to your best friend at work lets them know you're working remotely, but it's probably not a good idea to respond to a vice president's email with TLTR. Sometimes typing out the full phrase is worth the extra space so your email looks professional.

Some of these examples show how email can be misused, at least for internal comms. Things like upgrading to a new version of software, for instance, is better served IMHO by an instant, Twitter-like message to All. That message *was* for users of the office network, wasn't it? And your office network does have IM, doesn't it?
Ken Mitchell
Some of these are obvious; "FYI", for example. Most of the others are not really suitable for BUSINESS usage. If you need a "TL:DR" in your email, then condense the message and only include the relevant parts. But if you're writing a BUSINESS email, probably all of the message is important. Consider paragraphs and bullet points to break up the "walls of text".
dragonmouth
Why not just use l33t speak? It's much kewl-er.
If I received an email filled with acronyms I would reply "DNU. PLZ translate into Engrish"

" We did the two trips back to back, up to Wrangel and down the Kamchatka coast, our second time with Heritage Expeditions.
What struck us the most was the camaraderie of the expedition crew, and their inclusiveness in sharing their knowledge and thought processes with us. We were so lucky to have Helen and Samuel as expedition leaders, they were excellent. As keen birdwatchers we also appreciated the support we were shown to indulge our passion on the second voyage.
We were so lucky with the weather, with the sightings and with our fellow passengers. There were too many highlights to mention and it's a trip that, for us, rivalled Antarctica for the scenery and beauty. "
" We have been back from our amazing trip for just over a week now so I thought it was time to give you some feedback. The whole trip was fantastic and we were very glad that we had the Heritage Suite for a voyage of that length because it was great to have the space. It did mean that we noticed the rock and rolling of the ship more than the lower decks but we do not get seasick so that was no problem. Overall the weather was great but we did have a few days typical of the roaring forties, furious fifties and screaming sixties as well as katabatic winds off the Ross Ice Shelf one day and Mount Erebus on another. The latter were phenomenal, particularly as we were trying to visit the Historic Huts, so we could really appreciate the conditions that those early explorers had encountered - and we were in a nice warm ship with all the latest technical clothing!!
Rodney Russ was the expedition leader and what a legend! If there is something he doesnt know about the whole area - history, wildlife, weather, economics, you name it, we didnt find out what it was! He certainly went to every length to make sure all the passengers achieved their aims whether it was the history, the penguins, the albatrosses or the Barrier (or in our case all of the above!). His team was also first rate, and Heidi as the cruise director was quite outstanding. She was always working but never seemed rushed or flustered and she never had to be reminded about any request no matter how trivial. The two chefs worked wonders as well!! How they produced the food they did so efficiently and sometimes in such bad conditions was nothing short of incredible!!
The subantarctic islands are a real wonder and far exceeded our expectations. We are not ones to be ticking of species we havent seen before, but to have had real quality views of eleven different albatross and eight penguin species, plus all the other birds was amazing (sorry, I keep using that word!). The Ross Sea component was, for us, definitely a one-off simply because of the number of sea days to get there and back. We were lucky with the weather and although we had some rough seas we could usually manage to get out on deck somewhere sheltered (relatively) to watch the sea, birds, whales or scenery. The historic huts were very, very special and we were delighted that we could spend quite a bit of time viewing both the sites and the interior of the huts themselves. The visits were very tightly regulated in terms of numbers of people ashore and also in the huts at any one time, and of course we could not touch anything, but beyond that we could spend a decent amount of time in the huts and return if we wished for a second look (which we did at both Scott's and Shackleton's huts). Scott's hut in particular we found very moving, and we could recall all Ponting's superb photographs of Scott's party in the huts, and see exactly where they had been taken.
The Ross Ice Barrier and Mount Erebus were stunning, and we cruised along the ice edge at McMurdo seeing many Antarctic Type C Orca and more penguins including distant Emperors. We coudnt get to Cape Adare becasue of the ice conditions but that gave us the chance to sail near the Balleny Islands and we were once again blessed because as we arrived at Sturge Island in the early hours of the morning a lunar eclipse was taking place!
Our final port of call was Campbell Island and definitely one of the best wildlife experiences I have had, with groups of gamming Southern Royal Albatrosses at times literally within touching distance. What a finale!!
One last thing to note about Heritage and Rodney was the quality of the documentation that they sent out, and then once on board Rodney's drawings of each landing site with all the relevant information included. I dont think we have ever had such detailed and pertinent information from any company.
Last but not least I have put a selection of images on my web site - http://www.jennymvarley.co.uk/Ross-Sea-and-Subantarctic-Islands/. "
" In the safe hands of expedition leader Rodney and ship captain Dimitri, The Spirit of Enderby took us on a journey of a lifetime. The adventure of crossing the notorious southern ocean, the remarkable history and huts of the 'heroic age' explorers, the mesmerising wildlife encounters, the scenic snow clad mountains of the Antarctic continent, Mount Erebus and the Ross ice shelf. This trip is remote, exciting and quite unlike anything you will experience anywhere else on earth - if you are interested and able my advise is 'Just do it'. "
" Thank you, Heritage team and Russian Captain and crew - I really loved this trip, every minute. The islands, the birds, the sealions, the megaherbs, the lectures, the people I met - the whole experience occupies a special place in my memory. Thank you also for slideshow, the log and the list of birds. You did a great job - your enthusiasm for the islands and the wildlife was catchy and your care of us was much appreciated.
