Phish - "Joy"
Phish albums have never been known for their musical utility; they simply exist to offer proof that the incredible music the band plays on stage was conceived at some point in time. Phishheads certainly collect the albums along with the multitude of ...
Noel Gallagher quits Oasis
Oasis has sucked for years, so this doesn't come as much of a disappointment. However, it does add momentum for my theory that Phish will cover (What's the Story) Morning Glory? during their Halloween festival this year. Not that there was any moment...
"We Enjoy Myself"
This looks cool and all, but I can't help but think that their 2009 comeback kind of dampens the heartfelt value of the emotional and physical toil that Coventry fans experienced; it almost seems all for naught, in a retrospective sort of way (via):...

Phish - Toyota Park (8/11/09)
When you're hitting up just one Phish show, in the middle of the week, it can be kind of a crap-shoot. Of course, this was not always the case back in the glory days of Phish, when practically every show on a day ending in "y" was an incendiary barn-...

Festival 8
After an arduous and not-surprising-to-anyone marketing campaign, Phish announced "Festival 8" today, and it's slated for Indio, California. I'm pretty excited that they've melded Halloween with "the festival," but what's with the name (if it's not o...
Phish Halloween Festival
Phish has announced a three-day festival that will fall on Halloween this year, and already the speculation has begun as to what "musical costume" they will don as a cover set. My money is on Dylan and the Band's Basement Tapes. But what I really wan...
An open letter to "Phish" people
From a Craigslist ad posted after the Phish Alpine Valley shows:I HAVE LIVED OFF OF COUNTY HWY D NEAR ALPINE VALLEY FOR THE PAST 24 YEARS AND OFTEN FEEL THE RESIDUAL NEGATIVE EFFECTS OF THE CONCERTS. NEVER HAVE I HAD AN INCIDENT SUCH AS THE ONE THAT ...
Phish - Alpine Valley (6/20-21/09)
The two-night stand at Alpine Valley was a tale of two shows. The first night suffered from what most post-first-hiatus shows have failed to achieve: the cornerstone jam. And on a night that featured "Runaway Jim," "Stash," and "Ghost" (can you imagi...
Phish - Deer Creek (6/19/09)
The confluence of oppressive heat and vicious lightning and rain storms was, for most fans, the story of this show. Yeah, "Fluffhead" was extremely tight, and "Stealing Time from the Faulty Plan" is growing on me by leaps and bounds. But this show wa...
