Justin thought this outro jam from “Roggae” was one of the more interesting moments from last night’s Phish show at the Gorge. Since he was able to nab a decent video, I thought I’d post this up for the rest of us to check out. Nice to hear them stretching out a tune that doesn’t [...]

One of the biggest events on my calendar for this year was my trip to the Gorge to see Phish, something we’ve all been planning for at least four months now. Coming down from last night’s show, I’m fairly confident that I just saw one of the more interesting shows in 2011, with the band [...]

My Morning Jacket released their video for “Holdin On To Black Metal” and it seems to carry that quirky sorta brand the band has been able to maintain now, a mix of serious musicianship, craftsmanship and skilled playing with throwback swampy eclectic Southern rock. Or something like that. Plus it’s a bit spooky in its [...]

The schedule for this year’s Outside Lands has just been posted. The first day is “classic” jam-rock vs. indie rock (!) with Phish going opposite Big Audio Dynamite and the Shins at the other side of the park. The Friday schedule is a doozy for me; it’s looking like Lotus > The Original Meters > [...]

Toro y Moi just released their official video for “How I Know” via Pitchfork. It’s a haunted affair, a video befit for a release around Halloween more closely than a release on the second day of August. But clearly the project is back at home getting some work done before hitting this year’s Outside Lands [...]

The lineup for Voodoo Experience 2011 seems to have jumped up in caliber quite a bit with the additions of both The Raconteurs and Fatboy Slim to this year’s festival. Wesley’s thinking that the Watch the Throne tour is a lock, but obviously these rumors could have something to say about that instead. They’ve also [...]

In honor of today being Jerry Garcia’s birthday (i.e. Jerry Day), I thought I’d at least drop some memorial of sorts by posting by favorite Dead song at the moment, “Loser.” I got turned back onto it when I saw the Furthur set at Outside Lands and it’s been a song I cue up from [...]
