Vice or Virtue: an Eggy pod

that would be awesome! as long as it’s not a windy couple days (happens in spring sometimes) vegas in april is usually pretty great

great selections! the thing shallow rivers and the portland trixie are the only outliers between us, and i think both of those are very good

👀

these are (chronologically) all the “big boys” imo 2nu.gs/44r1U3U

las vegas jam band fans who don’t hit on phish tickets have reason to smile

i was listening to your (pretty sure it was yours) eggy 25 nugs list the other day. love how comprehensive it is! and thanks, it’s a great consolation for (probably) not going to the sphere ha ha

100%. pretty epic finish to '24 led to a pretty epic start to '25

both are definitely on my final list (say, top 25) of the year. backyard bear a good bit higher than graceless. but each is spectacular imo

been spending time with these big jams the last couple days and there's just so many good choices. will be intrigued to hear what you think!

HELL YEAH HOMETOWN EGGY

would love to see your favorite 5 eggy jams from 2025 if you’re so inclined. i’ll start:

#1 treehouse figure it out
#2 pittsburgh shatter
#3 ann arbor finding and losing
#4 atlanta way of the stone
#5 dallas sweat equity

The 100 Best Albums of 2025 …According to some guy in Chicago. Plus, every album and more I recommended in No Expectations this year.

I wrote about more music than ever this year at No Expectations, so I compiled what I think are the 100 Best Albums of 2025. If you don't recognize a lot of the names here, don't worry. That's the point. I hope you find something new to dig. www.noexpectations.fyi/p/the-100-be...

reviewing these big boys and making a few tweaks to my overall thinking. really great moments in so many places!

happy 12-11-97 Rochester day

feels like because this SBD circulated widely i’ve listened to this show more than nearly any other

not mad about it!

Unfortunately, I can’t make it to @taperschoice.bsky.social tomorrow night in Venice. Anyone want a free ticket? Very special show. They’re celebrating the one week anniversary of their West Side debut.

I’m reviewing the best Eggy jams of 2025 for an impending pod episode. Turns out 2025 was

10 years later, "escape from spiderhead," "the semplica girl diaries," and "my chivalric fiasco" still occupy some space in my brain

that's awesome!

i was just listening to the 1-11-25 waiting game slash first tube slash dwd extravaganza this morning, speaking of eggy-meets-phish jamming

i had never considered that before re: mike but i hear the quasi-resemblance!

my friend! i really dug it even if it did belie my mogwai n00bishness 😊

sadly that means it probably doesn’t exist (just a guess). a few rare recording mishaps on the band’s end back then, and probably no tapers. but 🤞
