Podcast #066: Phish, Best of Big Cypress Improv

January 1, 2010

Our illustrious Mr. Whitperson was feeling a bit under the weather today, but he had some time to put together a rocking podcast to pay homage to the 10 year anniversary of Phish’s Big Cypress NYE2000 celebration down in Florida, easily one of the most important concerts of the decade. Love it.

Phew. I’ve had one crazy summer! My sincere apologies for the radio silence. Moving to a big city will do that to a guy. For those that don’t know, I’m now officially a resident of Brooklyn and I couldn’t be more excited. Although there are ton of reasons to get excited about living in NYC, [...]

Back in December, I was lucky enough to catch a reunited Brothers Past play a killer NYE show outside of Philly. With their original drummer, Rick Lowenberg, back in the mix, BP reminded me why I became such a fan of their unique brand of live electronic dance music.
As I’ve been getting back into working [...]

Podcast #063 | Hippie Workout Mix, Vol. 3

October 17, 2008

With all the excitement of the recent announcement of Phish’s reunion, it may seem a bit odd that our Phish Friday posts have calmed down a bit here on the site. Although Justin and I have definitely been a bit nuts in our day jobs, to be frank, we have also gotten a bit burnt [...]

Podcast #062 | Keep On Votin’ in the Free World (Part 1)

October 2, 2008

Editor’s note: in my haste in switching over the site to WordPress I forgot to make sure our podcast feed was rigged up correctly. I’m working on fixing it, but in the meantime you can come and stream the podcast on the site using the built in music player on the site. We’ve [...]

A while back, I put together a little workout mix of some high-energy improv by the Disco Biscuits and added a tongue-in-cheek name just to have some fun. Although we knew it was a decent mix, Justin and I have been surprised at the warm reception we’ve gotten from it.
As a result, we’re [...]

Podcast #060 | Animal Collective

April 22, 2008

Even though it’s been quite a while since we’ve done a podcast here for the site, I really don’t feel any deep need to explain why we’ve been so silent in this category. The only thing I’m really compelled to add is that you can expect a lot more podcasts from us in the [...]

As we’re getting closer to the Spring season, I am trying to focus on getting back in better shape for soccer season. As a result, I’ve been piecing together some tracks from the archives, specifically creating mixes geared towards my workouts.
I know I’m not the only one who listens to a lot of [...]

Podcast #058 – KVHW ‘Down in the Wetlands’

May 19, 2007

For our 58th podcast, I’ve pieced together some highlights from two nights of KVHW at the Wetlands, which basically was the unofficial ‘jamband HQ’ in New York City until its closing last year. These two nights capture KVHW at its peak as a fresh, energetic, and exploratory improvisational rock band made up of amazing musicians.

Podcast #057 | Brothers Past’s Chicago Dance Party

April 30, 2007

Last weekend I caught Brothers Past at the Beat Kitchen here in Chicago as part of the Green Apple Music Festival. Although I already posted a cursory review of the show, I thought I’d throw together a few highlights to offer a little taste of BP in the process of re-discovering their mojo.

Podcast #056 – Bisco in Dub

April 1, 2007

For our 56th podcast, I went with another thematic mix, but this time with an old stand-by: the Disco Biscuits.
I’ve always been big fan of the Biscuits’ “dub” style of improvisation. While their take on Dub isn’t really the real-deal, classic style of Dub Reggae (by the likes of King Tubby or Augustus [...]

Podcast #054 – The Best of the Bays

March 4, 2007

Last week, I wrote a little round-up of some of the key bands that play some form of live, electronic dance music. But I realized that I neglected to mention a band that I really should have discussed:
The Bays
While the Bays definitely share similarities with bands like STS9, Lotus, and the New Deal, their approach [...]

Podcast #053 – New Slide Guitar ‘Masters’

February 10, 2007

For my second podcast, I decided to go with a slide guitar theme, piecing together a few live tracks featuring some of my favorite players of fretless slide guitars like the lap steel, Weissenborn, and straight-up 6-string electric guitar. Enjoy!

Podcast #052 – When Indie Bands Kick Out the Jams

January 28, 2007

Show notes:
Here at LMB we’re obviously open to a band stretching a song beyond its normal studio length or otherwise changing it for the live setting…that’s, in fact, one of the main reasons people dig live music. (Okay, duh, you can send my regards to Captain Obvious)
But while a band such as Phish is definitely [...]
