TWoL 79: We’ve Got Cymbals in the Band!

Listen to Episode 79

I’m sitting in the airport right now waiting to board my flight to Phish Superball IX so I’ve got to make this quick! Be on the lookout for live streams and updates for TWoL this weekend as 4 members of the our crew are attending Superball IX.

First on the agenda this week was a quick discussion of Hidden Track survey results of leg one Phish tour. We’re very excited that TWoL and our sister site type II cast received shoutouts. Big Ups to Parker for putting this together. We appreciate everyone that voted for us and we promise to keep the updates, news, and lulz coming!

Speaking of Phish there is a great deal coming out of Sirius radio this weekend. You can stream all the shows live as they are happening if you have a Sirius connection. Furthermore you can sign up for one for free and if you decide you don’t like it just cancel within 30 days. Get your couch tour on for free!

Headcount is back again with their photo contest at Superball IX. This time you can win a Jim Pollock custom illustration! All you need to do is head to the Headcount booth in the SuperBall IX concert field and get your picture taken. The photos are then uploaded to Facebook and whichever photo gets the most “likes” will be the winner. Even if you don’t win you still get a free voucher for some Ben & Jerry’s ice cream so how can you lose!

While 80% of the TWol crew will be at Superball IX we are going to have some West Coast representation at High Sierra Music Festival. Emilie will be attending this festival and also sending out tweets. Make sure you keep an eye out for the hash tag #TWoLWest if HSMF is something you’re interested in.

TWoL can’t be everywhere and this year we won’t be at the Electric Forest Festival. If you’re attending this festival make sure to leave us a voicemail and we’ll play it on air. The number is 419-NO-WOOKS make sure to program it in your phone!

We only received one voicemail this week people…one! You can do better than that! Remember we accept voicemails from concerts, lots, parks, your living room, anywhere is cool with us!

Ok, we’ll I’m getting paged to get on the plane here so I’ll see everyone at Superball IX on lot!

PS: We will be at the Phish Twibe meetup on Sunday, be sure to stop by and say Hi!.

TWoL 63: Dust off your tent

Listen to Episode 63

Dust off your tent because it’s festival time! Lots of festival announcements and news this week, let’s get right to it!

The initial lineup for High Sierra Music Festival was announced! Looks like MMJ and Ween are headliners.

The heavily rumored Dave Matthews Band festival appearances are starting to get some more press. They are rumored to be in Atlantic City at Bader Field on June 24-26th according to jambands.com.

The Electric Forest Festival headlined by String Cheese Incident is taking place in Rothbury, MI. The lineup seems to be a bit all over the place but diversity is a good thing so take it or leave it.

The Rock n Roll Resort festival is kicking off the festival season. This unique festival combines the cost of your hotel (all shows are held on the hotel grounds) with your admission to the festival. Next to a state park this festival offers amazing scenic views and outdoor opportunities while being able to sleep in comfort and style. This festival is also a good way to start into the spring/summer musical spirit as it’s being held April 1-3 in Kerhonkson, NY.

Bisco Inferno is back again this year at Red Rocks. Come get your untz on in one of the nations most scenic parks!

If Bisco Inferno wasn’t enough untz and electronica for you then make sure you check out The Governors Ball Music Festival.

Now that we have all the festival announcements out of the way, save the official Phish announcement of Wakins Glen, let’s get to some other news.

Phish.net has starting tracking and posting Sideshows from the different members of Phish. Basically this will keep track of setlists from the personal projects of the members of Phish. The initiative is still a work in progress but we look forward to it. Thanks to everyone at Phish.net for all the work you put in, it’s truly appreciated! Also, they have a sweet Cactus contest running right now.

Target has starting selling a womens Phish shirt. Surprisingly enough it appears PT has not yet got wind of this as there are no douchebag comments left on the reviews. Either that or Target regulates their comments and reviews very strictly. In any event happy shopping ladies!

Last but not least we run through all the voicemails we had leftover from last week. Thank you to everyone that left a report!

We’ll see you next week on lot!

TWoL 35: I’ve Been Partying Since June 17th

After a few weeks on Phish tour and at High Sierra Music Festival the entire crew of TWoL is back for this episode! Emilie has been going nonstop since June 17th wooking it up with the best of them and has tales of tour from coast to coast.

We have a review of all the Phish lots we’ve been to since the last time we left our listeners at Merriweather. There were a lot of wooks, even more cops, some serious bust outs from the band, and Steve learns that luke warm wine from a bag doesn’t sell well on the lot. Just goes to show there’s always a lesson on the lot.

We received a TON of voicemails since our last full episode and we appreciate everyone leaving us amazing lot reports. There was so many we couldn’t get to all of them but we tried to bring you the best of the best. Looks like a lot of folks from Phish tour left us messages as well as some from Furthur. Keep them coming!

Last but not least we try out a new segment on the show reviewing a random search term people used to find our blog. We’re not exactly sure how the googles navigated people to our site from this term and even what the person really meant. You be the judge!

Thanks again to PhanArt for sponsoring us this month and to everyone who left voicemails. We’ll be announcing the random winner of the PhanArt package giveaway next week. Until then see you on the lot!
