Special Report: Camp Bisco 9, “The Silent Podcast”

Listen to Special Report – Camp Bisco 2010

Hey guys, this week we have a special report for ya, live from Camp Bisco 2010. This is a unique episode, as it will bring some firsts to the program. As usual, we hit you up with an episode discussing the scene. This week, the players are “Noob” Laura, PhanArt Pete, and myself (Steve). We review the camp grounds, our favorite sets of music, and all the “WHOMP” we ran in too (WHOMP is the new UNTZ). Next, I hit shakedown and scored interviews with vendors and artists. Finally, we add some updates during the rain delay that occurred on Saturday night, delaying the Biscuits final throw down.

In addition to the episode, I also have put together some photos and videos of the weekend. There is so much to do at Camp Bisco, it would be impossible to do it justice in the half hour broadcast. True to our mission, we are bringing you a snap shot of “the lot”, but I couldn’t help but throw in some band photos and coverage. This was my 5th Camp Bisco, and without hesitation, I can say it was for reals the best one. If you have never been, you have to go next year. I know I will be going.

Finally, I would like to apologize for the crappy audio on my mic during the first half of the episode. Laura and Pete sound good, but I had some weird shit going on. I hope this isn’t a deal breaker, the rest of the audio is great, but I wanted to acknowledge it. Also, big ups to Laura and Pete for joining in this episode. Thanks to the carenwest pr for having TWoL on the scene.  Finally thanks to the Disco Biscuits for putting on one hell of a good time!

TWoL 7: The first rule about the Rhombus is you don’t talk about the Rhombus!

Festival 8 is right around the corner and this weeks podcast focuses around all things 8.

We talk about the eliminations of more albums and our thoughts about what we think we’ll be the last album alive. You can see the full list of remaining albums here.

Phish has revived their radio station The Bunny for Festival 8 so be sure to tune in, whether you’re stuck in line or just chilling in your RV or tent!

HeadCount has announced they will be having a “Reality Check” trivia contest at Festival 8 and the grand prize is an uncut sheet of four Pollock Halloween masks! Can’t wait to see the contest go down,  I’m sure this grand prize will bring out the serious Phish nerds.  = )

Mr. Miner blogged about the 5 reasons why he thinks this festival will be incredible and we have to say that we agree with all 5.

Phish also announced that they will be putting all the Festival 8 shows out on 24 bit flac, available for preorder as we speak. So for all you audiophiles out there it’s time to rejoice!

As always we take a listen to your voicemails and one particular caller this week is believed to have been abducted by a wook. If you’re out there caller our thoughts and prayers go out to your family, don’t ever give up hope.  = )

One more thing, we will be having a contest and giving away a pair of tickets to the Phish MSG show on Friday December 4th but you’ll have to tune in to the podcast to find out all the details.

See you at Festival 8! (our 8th episode!!!)

PS: Check out the pics of our trip to the Rhombus

episode 7

TWoL 6: Don’t forget the Gold Bond!

We’ve got a great episode for you this week. Our guest this week is Scott from the YEM Blog. We talk about his site as well as his work on Hidden Track for Glide Magazine.

Festival 8 is rapidly approaching and as it does so shrinks the list of albums for the Halloween show.

If you’re a noob to festivals you’re definitely going to want to pay attention to this weeks podcast as we discuss essential items as well as some great travel tips you need to know.

Phish also made a news announcement regarding all the activities that will be going on at Festival 8. It’s going to be one hell of a busy weekend if you are going to try and do it all.

The amount of nitrous on the scene seems to have really gotten out of control. We review a great article by HeadCount talking with a former fan turned security company CEO and his thoughts around how big of a problem this has become.

The beacon of wooks is lit in NYC tonight. It’s kind of like the batman signal except instead of a super hero arriving you get a ton of hippies.

Caribbean Holidaze makes the annoucement that this will be their last year in Jamaica.

As always we take a listen to your voicemails, we have an especially incoherent one this week I’m sure you’re going to enjoy!

DIY Merch

Want to rock some TWoL stickers or merch? That would be great, but as of now we don't have any funds or resources to hook you guys up (unless you see us on lot, then we might have some stickers).

Not to worry, there is a solution. We have no problem with anyone downloading the logo and using it however you see fit. Get some sticker paper at Walmart. Print some labels at Staples. Grab some "Iron-On" T-Shirt transfers. Upload the image to Cafepess and make a mouse pad. It's really up to you. We appreciate the free advertising and have no doubt you will look fly in that TWoL hoodie.

"High-Quality Logo Here. Right-Click > "Save Image As . . ."

PS: We'd love to see pics of any merch you make.
