I’m still reeling a bit after an amazing Phish Leg II tour (basically my second “tour” ever), but I plan on reviewing the run and posting a ton more content that you haven’t seen yet regarding how the shows went, what I thought the highlights were, etc. As for now, I’m on my way to [...]

We’ve long been fans of Nigel Godrich’s FromtheBasement.tv site, which features a ton of great live, in-studio performances by Radiohead and a bunch of other intertesting artists. Although that site itself doesn’t look like it has been updated in a while, we’re now seeing some fresh “From the Basement” videos on YouTube with Radiohead’s The [...]

Dr. Dog just announced a new set of tour dates the other day. Their music seemed to be featured prominently as “house music” on the set switchovers this past weekend at Outside Lands and me and my crew noticed it more than a few times… The band is currently in a Philadelphia studio recording a [...]

Phish played the second show of three at Chicago’s UIC Pavilion last night, and the energy was just as intense as Monday night with the crowd roaring and sweating with every twist and turn during the show. Highlights for me included a way-out-there “Chalk Dust Torture,” the text from Patrick at 143245.org that said “Mexican [...]

In last week’s post I already flagged Music for Money, specifically for fans of Battles and Tortoise. Those guys continue their run of [...]

I decided to shoot some video during the Phish set last night at the perfect moment. The jam out of “Rock and Roll” seemed to flow seamlessly into “Steam” last night, a song that people were definitely predicting would make an appearance more this tour and especially at Golden Gate Park. Predictions were correct amongst [...]
