Ew no

Page's Charli xcx diss track is crazy!

Steve compared "Trinidad" to a YEM jam, and he was right do so!

The only interesting angle is that these genre labels...don't really mean anything any more? Geese sounds like a jamband sometimes, Goose covers Spoon and The National. And it's all just "rock" to 99.99% of people, because as guitar-based music shrinks, it flattens.

Just gotta go through all the double vowels. Gaase. Giise. Guuse. Gyyse.

I have unlocked a new allergy symptom I'm calling Blood Eye. At least it's seasonably appropriate.

I haven't seen it yet, is there slide whistle?

Yup, there it is.

It's mostly got the flavor of "who cares about their views if they like to PAAAARTYYYY" which could be worse I guess but also, not defensible in 2025.

I have not loved the glimpse of Phish scene politics I've gotten since posting the Kid Rock essay!

Dream Operator 9/30/00, Las Vegas, NV, Thomas & Mack Center

On 9/30/00, Trey officially announced the band's first hiatus. Then he described a dream that maybe wasn't as reassuring as he intended.

I wonder if Gibby and Bob Pollard ever played one-on-one?

Thank you for bringing up a positive guest appearance to wash out today's anniversary opposite.

Got a "is this even music?!?" from one of my kids about "The Diamond Sea." Sonic Youth's still got it!

25 years ago today, a low point for Phish.

Baseball is great because Jon's boring baseball stat bit still ends up being a Remembering Some Guy about the relief pitcher who was the lead singer for Ten Foot Pole.

All of your Geese takes could be Geese lyrics. Not sure if that helps.

I didn't realize until reading this that Winter's not yelling "There's a BUG in my car" in "Trinidad." I think my version is more relatable.

I chose that photo to illustrate your input. Look at that slope!

As you could probably tell, I enjoyed it! The Gumbo especially.

I want to shout out the people who are just now subscribing even though there's basically a week of shows left. Must be Kid Rock fans.
