Listen to Episode 57

This week we have a very special guest, Adam from Phish.net. For anyone has been living on the moon Phish.net is basically the one stop for all things Phish related. They’ve been collaborating data, setlists, and all around Phish related things since before the internet was the cool.

For those who didn’t know (myself included) they have been working together with The Mockingbird Foundation for years to gather and host official setlist information. There is no other site that has a more complete and accurate record of setlists. In fact David “ZZYZX” Steinberg uses Phish.net as his source for his stats.

For all of you iPhone, iPad, and iTouch users out there, make sure to check out some apps that are available, 3 of which work with Phish.net. There’s Helping Friendly App available for $2, iTour (which is free), Phanatic available for $2, and iDIDN’T KNOW Phish Games for $2. So no matter if you’re trying to find a hotel near the venue, find out the last time something was played, or just mess around and play games you can have everything you need for $6. Unfortunately these apps aren’t available for Android…yet. If there’s an Android programmer out there, please contact Phish.net staff as they would be interesting and starting a conversation.

A lot of people worked (and still work) to make Phish.net great. Take a look at this link to see the list of contributors.

So after we wrapped up our chat with Adam about the history of Phish.net and all the great apps that are available we had some tour talk to announce. Trey Tour 2011 has been announced with presale already complete. Looks like Trey is taking a quick tour from east to west with tour only lasting a few weeks. Mike Gordon also announced his Spring 2011 tour. Funny enough he starts tour the day Trey ends and only a few hours away…hmmm…can you say bus hand-off? Maybe so and maybe not.

Lastly we wrap up by listening to a few of your voicemails and reading an email we received. Thank you to everyone for your lot updates, make sure to keep them coming! The number is 419-NO-WOOKS, program it in your phone people! We can’t be everywhere at once.

Thank you again for all your support, we’ll see you next week on lot!

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!

First up Laura and Steve give a review of the Further lot and what turns out to be in inexpensive but swanky hotel. We even find out that there’s some h3tty couch space up for grabs in the lobby.

Steve recently spent some time checking out all the Phish iphone apps that are available and gives a review on each. Find out which ones are worth it and which ones leave you wondering WTF were they thinking? Phanatic, I Didn’t Know, Phish Quiz.

We asked some of our loyal followers on twitter what they would like us to discuss in this weeks episode. Out of all the submissions we received we decided to go with 3. First is the importance, or lack thereof, of your personal music stats. Such as number of shows seen, bust-outs you were present for etc. Then we talk about the ever important topic of how seeing shows can affect your relationships both the good and the bad. Finally we discuss some budgeting strategies and tips to make it to that next show.

Thank you everyone for your support thus far, this will be our last podcast until we get together in Miami for NYE. Have a great holiday and we’ll see you on lot!

Welcome to Wook Wednesday kids.

Just like noob corner, we got a mini-episode here to hold you over till Sunday.

First up, in honor of the number 9, 9 everyday wookings you need to look out for. These are some serious wookings we urge you all to steer clear of.

Next up, we discuss an all to current phenomenon on lot, “when phans go wook”. This unfortunate situation occurs when a normal, good nature phan gets to schwilly and ends up “wooking out”. We have a jaw-dropper of a story for you that took place at SPAC lot in august. Think you have a better story? Leave us a voice mail or an email describing a time you or a friend went wook. We are going to pick a winner in 2 weeks and send them a prize. For reals, an actual prize.(contest not applicable to actually wooks)

Enjoy the rest of your week kids, see you on Sunday.

WOOK OUT!!!

TWoL 2: Stealing Time from the Faulty MySpace

Is MySpace the wook of the internet? You be the judge. There’s some good points…and some bad points. In this episode we discuss the stream of Phish’s new album Joy released on MySpace before you can buy it. We talk around all aspects of this with our guest host Neil “The Joker” from CoventryMusic blog.

We also discuss the NPR radio interview of Trey and Page, specifically their comments on how they realize the hardcore fan base doesn’t fully support the albums. They (Trey & Page) also make comments about how you have to see Phish live to really “get” their music.

Next up we discuss the “Guilty Pleasures” NCAA bracket style music show run by Entertainment Weekly.  Phish is currently up against Mariah Carey, it should be noted that PT (Phantasy Tour) is largely responsible for their first victory taking out a #1 seed Nickelback.

We encourage and love feedback so of course we listen to and respond to the messages we received. There’s a visit from Stephen Hawking, the broseph discussing wook hate, the Joy leak, and a guy just looking for a ride to the next show.

Here are the you tube videos we mentioned.

Come join us next week as we leave the open question to you the listener. What’s your favorite lot? Tell us the what/where/why of your favorite lot and we’ll discuss next week. Also our friend Tij will be the guest host next week so look forward to a fresh face.

One more thing, we’re going to start randomly putting out WookWednesday podcasts, just little tidbits of how a wook/wookette can ultimately ruin a random day.

Thank you for listening.

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.
