Signs are still pointing to the eventual rollout of something likely called Google Music which TechCrunch originally reported on earlier this month. The Wall Street Journal has a story today detailing what they know. [via Hidden Track]

Chris Kuroda, ’s famous lighting man (and fifth member, duh), is now spelling the band’s name in lights during the shows. This guy knows how to please a crowd, that’s for sure. Here’s another shot via Phish.net.

The fine folks over at iClips.net just announced that they’ll be broadcasting live from All Good Music Festival this year. We haven’t written much about that fest yet but we’re excited to see what comes out of it, and it looks like we’ll be watching it on . READ MORE

Jefferson Waful’s Jambands.com interview with Chris Kuroda is quite interesting, albeit slightly over my head in terms of all the “lighting guy” geekiness. Only issue, they didn’t address Justin’s “Open Letter to Chris Kuroda.” Heh.

Hey, did you know it’s Friday? How about a little “Best of Phish Summer ‘09 Improv” mix — our latest LMB podcast — to help you wait it out until Festival 8?

Hey Chris –

Can you do something like this for Festival 8, maybe at the late-night set*?

Screengrab from Wilco "Ashes of American Flags"

Here’s some links to help you get through your work day:

  • Watch “Side With the Seeds” from the new live DVD, Ashes of American Flags. [EW.com]
  • and his new band, , are getting out and playing their first show next week in NYC. I can’t wait to see what kind of stuff he’s got on drums. [PRODUCT SHOP NYC]
  • does “The Old Days” on a hacked together stage setup at Laundromatinee. Very cool. [YouTube]
  • went all double-bass on everyone’s ass at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. “Master of Puppets” killed it. [YouTube]
  • played a last-minute show here in San Francisco on Tuesday night, and Stereogum got a clip from the show even with Billy Joe telling everyone to put their cell phones away. LULZ. [Stereogum]

Finally, I thought I’d round up a selection of -related links separately considering that there’s going to be a huge focus on this band in the coming months. We’ll probably have tons more to share, especially when we start heading out on the road ourselves.
