TWoL 127: You’re Gonna Need a Shower

Listen to Episode 127

This week, Steve and I were joined by a special guest from the Dirty Soufth. That’s right, everyone’s favorite lot reporter Underground Villain (a.k.a. William) was our guest host. Thanks for chatting with us UV!

With less than fifty days ’til Phish terr we thought it was a good time for a ticket check and a review of the new rumors coming down the pipeline. And if you are headed to SPAC, schedule some time to check out the poster show on July 6th.

We also discussed:

Thanks as always for the voicemails! You might recognize the voice in one of them as a former TWoL host. Next, UV filled us in on the goings on at Georgia’s Best Buys and on the Purple Hatters Ball. And if you are looking for a ticket hookup down south he recommends checking out Magnolia Miracle.

Keep your voicemails coming and we will see you on Phish terr. Until next time, be good and enjoy the new Daft Punk album. :)

Peace,

Katie

TWoL 124: I Guess I Just Wanna Get SPAC Lawns for Sure

Listen to Episode 124

This week, TWoL was saved by a last minute host substitution. So to begin, special thanks to Fee the Prodigy (Matt) for bravely jumping in as the guest host about 10 minutes before we aired!

We covered a variety of topics this week, beginning with Trey’s announcement that Phish will begin to record a new album today. Sounds like some Trey trickery to us, but TWoL definitely supports a new Phish album this year. Also in Phish news, the venue on Northerly Island in Chicago has officially been approved to expand to fit 30,000 fans. So no worries about getting a ticket for those shows.

In festie news, we checked out the new Jamcruise boat and we suggest you do the same while you await the May 1st lineup announcement and site launch. Also be sure to scope the initial lineups for TWoL favorite, Gathering of the Vibes and the perennially popular High Sierra.

We touched upon Raq‘s upcoming reunion tour and Umphrey’s new Headphones & Snowcones initiative. And we had two great voicemails this week from the Dirty South. Underground Villain and ATL Mel never fail to disappoint!

To round out the ep we talked about our goings ons for the last few weeks. Fee caught some Juggling Suns, Hot Buttered Rum, and Cabinet and is looking forward to Marco, Keller, and UMBowl. Steve briefed us on the French wook situation after his experience at Wayne Krantz. And we briefly discussed TWoL NYC’s trips to Bowlive and Ghosts of Jupiter at Brooklyn Bowl.

We will be back in a two weeks, hopefully with fistfuls of Phish tickets. Thanks for listening!

TWoL 123: PHISH TOUR 2013

Listen to Episode 123

The long wait for Phish dates ended yesterday with the announcement of a 25 date summer tour spanning from the July 3 through September 1. Scotty B posted his always thorough review of all the dates and venues over at Hidden Track. We jumped on the mics last night to give you some quick thoughts on the tour. You can tell that this episode was unplanned because Toonces doesn’t even get in on the action until half way through. Thanks to the chat room for playing along at home, as always. Let us know your thoughts on this tour/what the rest of the year holds for Phish and what shows we will find you at here on the blog or on our Facebook or Twitter. Don’t forget to submit your PTBM requests and stay tuned for a full TWoL episode in the next week or so.

Happy planning!

TWoL 122: STFU

Listen to Episode 122

We’re not gonna lie. It was a tough night, kids.  A slew of technical difficulties almost kept us from getting an episode on the books.  Some perseverance from UNO finally got us off the ground a little over an hour behind schedule.  Get that man a cigarette!

We dove right in to the news stories with a nod to our show’s title.  You don’t want to get on Bobby’s bad side and we here at TWoL are in agreement with him.  In other news we broke down the lineups for Camp Bisco, All Good, and Big Up and take a look at the Bowlive IV guests.  Furthur has sold out 8 nights at the Cap and if you find yourself there you just might get questioned by DanMar.  We’ll let her explain why.  In other tour news, we’re “Still Waiting” for those Phish dates but SCI and WSP fans have something to shout about.

Tech News Tidbit: get on those Umphrey’s free ringtones this week.

After two nice voicemails (keep ‘em coming!) we debuted a new segment: Ask DanMar.  This one already looks to be promising and we can’t wait to have the next batch of questions answered. If you want DanMar to answer your questions, (any and all questions) send inquiries to:

Have a great week and see you soon!
