TWoL 47: Stuff White People Like

Listen to Episode 47


We’ve got a very special episode of TWoL for you! Our guest this week is Caroline McCarthy from CNET. She comes to us to “defend” her comments on the 404 podcast episode where OkCupid reveals what white people like or at least they post on their dating page they like. Turns out what white guys over 30 like is Phish. It could be because many of them missed out on chasing girls in their 20′s because they were too busy chasing Phish around the country. You be the judge!

In a classic Bros vs. Brahs showdown we also discuss the difference in the female presence between a DMB show and a Phish show. Honestly way more females are at DMB shows then a Phish show, I don’t think it’s really an argument there. The point of discussion may be more around why? Leave us a voicemail and let us know your opinion on why such diversity between females at a DMB and females at Phish. 419-NO-WOOKS is the number to call!

Technology has brought the world together and information at your finger tips. People are more active and connected then ever, point in case Facebook and twitter. With the availability and connections you can create so easily, practical uses are exploding. If you’re an iPhone user there are now two Phish apps available, Live Phish and iTour.phish. If you’re an Android user there is only one Phish related app at this time, you can find it here.

Don’t forget there’s still time to sign up for the Atlantic City, NJ Phish tweetup. You don’t have to be on twitter to RSVP, come join us! You can RSVP at this link.

Last but not least we run through some voicemails. This week is a little interesting, we received all different kinds of voicemails. One of which appears to have been someones one phone call from jail. Thanks for providing a lot update even though you were locked up! For more details you’ll have to listen to the podcast. Don’t forget everyone that leaves us a voicemail during this Fall Tour will be eligible to win a Touropoly set from this month’s sponsor Touropoly.com.

Thank you everyone for the support, and we’ll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 22: I Traveled All This Way and all I Got Was a Broken Wrist?!?

This week our guest is Vortman, an old of friend of Steve’s. He’s spent 50 days traveling to each of the 50 states and creating artworks in each. He mainly creates paintings at music shows and festivals so you may be familiar with some of his groups work already. To find out how it’s possible to travel to all 50 states in 50 days take a listen and see how he did, the route he took is not actually that conventional. You can check out his art as well as a link to purchase artwork here.

In the event that you’ve been without the internet or living in a cave this week let us be the first to tell you that Phish announced their summer 2010 tour. They’re playing some of their typical spots and a few ones that they haven’t played in a long time are on the list this time. The much anticipated Telluride shows were confirmed as well as a three nights at the Greek in Berkeley California. Other than that if you live in the western part of the country you’re going to have to take a road trip to see them.  Our friends at Hidden Track from Glide Magazine have a good rundown on all the shows here.

In other news it seems that Barber from The Disco Biscuits managed to mess himself up again, whether it was another drunken accident we can’t say. Rumors are swirling about how it happened, it seems fishy that they don’t say any specifics on how he broke his wrist. They canceled the show in Montclair, NJ which Steve is very upset about considering he could walk to the show. They did continue with a free Boston show with guest guitarist from RAQ but had to cancel the show after first set due to rumors of police and fire marshals unhappy about backstage activities. Coventry Music blog has a good write-up on the whole situation.

TWoL 20: So I heard…

So I heard… Steve saw the The Disco Biscuits, Tea Leaf Green, and Galactic. He gives a rundown of the scene and the lot for each.

Turns out so I heard there’s a lot of rumors flying around about Phish tour for Summer and beyond. There’s still talk of a Euro or even Japan tour, and of course there’s also the American cities being named. The only one that holds an “announced” possibility right now is Telluride. It’s listed here in the Denver Post. They admit they’re still working on a deal but it may be possible.

Also apparently if you didn’t know The Disco Biscuits are selling themselves out for unspeakable pleasures and mindless activities. See all that they have to offer here. Nothing says I love you like Barber sleeping under your bed.

One more thing; so I heard that UM is having a UMBowl2010 where you can vote for the first acoustic songs to be played in the first quarter.  After that it’s still up in the air.
