TWoL 95: Chicken Waaaaangs!

Listen to Episode 95

We have Steve, Nick, and Emilie this week. Emilie is back on the carnivore side and has kicked the veggie lifestyle to the curb, hence our episode title for the week. Chicken waaangs are an amazing thing in everyday life but after you haven’t had them for a year? You better believe they are amazing.

But I digress, on to this weeks news. Let’s start with Trey news as there was a few things this week. Trey has announced an Orchestra Tour with three dates in Feb and one in March spread across the country. He’s also  recording a new solo album with the members of TAB and has noted he will be “taking a whole new direction” for this album, whatever that means. The TWoL crew is divided on whether or not this will be a good album. Personally I think it will work out in the end but only time will tell.

Moving along to Phish news, Watkins Glen track official Ryan Lake has announced that the venue will focus on racing events for 2012 so no return for a festival this year. While not shocking that Phish is not playing there again so soon, it doesn’t mean they won’t return in the future. The majority of TWoL attend Superball so we’re really hoping for a return sometime in the future. In our last bit of Phish news we would like to point out the many after-shows for each night of the MSG run. If you managed not to wook-out at the main event we hope to see you late night!

Even though it’s nearly winter there is still some festival news this week. All Good has announced they will move from their WV location to Legend Valley in Ohio. Legend Valley (formerly Buckeye Lake) has hosted many amazing bands, festivals, and concerts over the years. In a period where most festivals only last a short time TWoL gives kudos to All Good for 16 years of jamband love.

As of right now Jam Cruise 10 takes off in 39 days and if you don’t have your tickets well you’re pretty screwed cause it’s sold out. But…not to fret! Jam Cruise 11 prebooking starts Dec 1st so you can always go next time!

We received a few voicemails this week, thanks to all who took the time to leave one. Don’t forget the number is 419-NO-WOOKS program it in your phone!

Thank you to everyone that supports us and we’ll see you next week on lot!

Listen to Episode 80

It’s been a crazy few weeks for the TWoL crew. Between us we’ve been to festivals on both sides of the country, seen some Phish, seen some untz, and everything in between. The last few updates have been special episodes first from Phish SBIX and then from Camp Bisco. We hope you enjoyed those special reports we definitely like being able to give on the spot updates.

This week we have Steve, Emilie and myself on. Emilie gives a quick rundown of the HSMF that she attended. While it sounds like she had a slight case of Phish festival regret the overall festival was amazing. Especially the h3tty organic foam pit, you’ll have to listen to get the details.

TWoL is all about live music (mainly focused on jambands) so we thought it would irresponsible for us not to point out that the Gathering of the Juggalos is coming up on Aug 11th. Everybody’s favorite winner Charlie Sheen is set to host one night along with Dustin Diamond. The festival has so much going on it promises to provide 24/7 activities from wrestlers to Faygo wet t-shirt contests. In the words of the immortal James Brown, please please please if you know someone attending have them leave a lot report! We’re curious to see what exactly happens at this event. 419-NO-WOOKS is the number!

Our brahs over at Cash or Trade have started a new site called LiveMusicMatch.com where you can try and find a h3tty moma. This is basically a site to make friends (or more) with people who are into the same music you are.

Jam Cruise 10 has added a few more bands to their lineup.  If you haven’t got your tickets for Jam Cruise yet make sure you do so right away, tickets are about 90% sold out!

Perpetual Groove is having a Facebook contest to win tickets to their 5 upcoming shows in Florida. Check out this link for the details on how you can win. If you’ve never seen Perpetual Groove we recommend you get your ass out to these shows!

If you’re going to go to the traveling untz circus that is the Identify Festival check out this link to have a chance of winning an upgraded ticket.

We had a lot of new voice mails to play and a lot of first time callers. Thank you to everyone who left us a message we appreciate you taking the time!

Two cool new music applications where released recently and we just wanted to give them a shout out. Spotify allows users to stream music and create playlists they can share with friends at a portion of the cost of iTunes. Turntable allows users to be their own virtual DJ. While we don’t know much about this new service it sounds cool, check it out and let us know what you think.

That wraps it up for this week, make sure you take a listen to the episode to get all the details. We’ll see you next week on lot!

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 74: Would you name your first born Glisten?

Listen to Epsiode 74

Lot’s of topics were covered this week including the surprising news that Yasgur’s Farm is no longer an option for folks camping on Memorial Day Weekend. Yasgur’s farm was set to hold late night concerts and camping after the near by Bethel Phish shows. Those plans have been dashed as the owners of Yasgur’s Farm now face a $25k fine for violating a 2006 agreement to not mass gatherings on their property. You can read more about this news here.

We run through a quick Phish ticket check. Looks like nearly all tickets can be found for below face. Not a shocker considering the amount of shows being played and the size of the venues.

After we beat the Phish news to death we talk about bugs. Small, slimy, ugly, creepy, crawly bugs. The 13 year cicadas are going to be out in full force a few weeks before the Bonnaroo music festival. Fear not though if you are attending. Cicadas are harmless and they should be mostly gone…well except for a few straggler cicadas that decided to wook out and totally spaced when they were supposed to arrive.

In one more bit of Bonnaroo news regular tickets have sold out! If you’re planning on attending this year you better get a VIP ticket or you’re going to be stuck out front with a finger in the air.

The Austin City Limits lineup has leaked and this year looks pretty good! Presale tickets sold out weeks in advance before this leak, however you can still get single day tickets for $90. Single day tickets are expected to run out faster than a one for $3 two for $5 sale on Sammy Smith bombers so get yours while you can.

As always we run through the voicemails we received, thank you to everyone who left us a report. We can’t be everywhere at once so make sure while you’re out on the lot you give us an update! 419-NO-WOOKS is the number to call!

Thank you to everyone that supports us, we’ll see you next week on lot!

Thanks to Rick R. for the pics of River Rock Music Fest.

Listen to Episode 73

We managed to run through a lot of news this week in just 30 minutes. Let’s get right to it!

As the title eludes to the first rumored 3rd leg Phish date has shown up. Personally TWoL is calling nans on this, it’s probably an announcement for ABBA or Garth Brooks.  ; )

If you’re heading to Bethel for the Phish shows and need a place to stay we’ve got good news for you. The city approved camping permits for property owners in Bethel. What this means is that now any piece of land can be used as a “campground” for the weekend. Good news for phans that don’t have a place to stay and would like to camp close to the venue.

Speaking of Bethel, as we mentioned last week there are plenty of after-shows going on. For a list of the after shows check out this link.

Continuing on with the Phish news, the 2nd Phamily Poker Classic has been announced. It will be held in Tahoe at Harvey’s Casino. This tournament will have  a structure so it finishes up in one day. If TWoL was going to be there you can bet your ass we would entering…and winning!

Switching gears we run through the initial moe. down lineup announcement. Ween, Railroad Earth, and Rubblebucket are a few names to note. More bands will be announced soon, so stay tuned!

The Governors Ball has been announced. If you’re looking to get our untz on in NYC then check out this festival. Steve will be there with his flat breezy in full effect.

NYC is keeping it going this summer with the Summer Stage series. Each of the 5 boroughs in NYC will be hosting concerts all summer. There’s something for everyone and it’s free so you have no excuse!

In random music news Steely Dan has announced a interesting tour. For full details check out this link.

In show reviews this week, Steve saw Railroad Earth at the Wellmont Theater. You can check out our twitter feed from May 7th for the play by play, but we did a recap during this episode. Jackie Greene opened the night with a solid set. RRE brought the energy level up when they hit the stage, especially on the floor. Steve was impressed they played a 2.5 hour set with narry a break, only leaving the stage for about 20 seconds before the encore.

This week we received zero voicemails. This makes TWoL a saaaaaaaaaad panda. Don’t forget we can’t be everywhere, we count on our listeners to leave us messages and let us know what’s going down on a lot near you!

Thank you again to everyone who supports us, we’ll see you next week on lot!

Listen to Episode 72

No guest this week but we run through some announcements, voicemails, and a story about a boy and his tent and where it should have been.

Jam Cruise 10 lineup was released, the lineup looks pretty solid. Only thing to complain about this year is there are only 2 stops scheduled. Both in cities we haven’t really heard of or understand. If you’ve got some experience with these cities leave us a comment on the blog or a voicemail as we would love feedback.

We’ve been covering a lot of the “untz” lately and this episode is no different. There were some more additions added to Camp Bisco 10. Pack your flatbrim and get ready to dance your ass off till the sunrise!

There’s a new festival  with a new concept called Identity. All the details haven’t been released yet but the basic concept is a group of electronic style bands are going to get together and play venues that they normally wouldn’t be able to fill on their. So far tDB, Pretty Lights, and DJ Shadow have been announced as participants. More bands are expected as well as more details, stay tuned.

The Finger Lakes Grass Roots Festival has been announced. This festival has been going on for over 20 years, TWoL recommends checking it out if you can. Don’t forget to leave us a lot report if you do!

Finally we get around to the story about a boy, his tent, and a pile of wook vomit. Unfortunately it happened to TWoLs’ very own Steve this last weekend at the Jibberjazz festival. The festival was great, but the wookery was not. Better luck next time Steve!

As always we go through all the voicemails we receive, thank you to all that left us one! The number to the voicemail box is 419-NO-WOOKS make sure to hit us up if you see any live music or if you’re just bored and wanna vent.

Last but not least we have a poll running right now, make sure to leave your vote on how you did with Phish leg 2 onsale. You can either click this link to get to the poll or scroll down in your browser.

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

TWoL 71: (Insert Rant Here)

Listen to Episode 71

There isn’t too much going on this week so this episode was basically a lot of ranting so take it with a grain of salt.

One of the points we did cover was the Railroad Earth show at the Wellmont Theater. Steve is planning on hitting this show up so make sure to keep an eye on the TWoL twitter feed for lot updates. If you are in the area, be sure to come out. Not only is it their 10th anniversary show, Jackie Greene will be supporting.

We also saw that Phish announced the details for their volunteer program at SuperBall IX. Basically you have to give them your credit card and have a “hold” put on it. Once you prove you’re not a total spunion or crusty wook and actually work your shift the hold is removed and alas you see the show for $15.

Lastly we would like to point out that there are only 30 VIP tickets for Friday at Gathering Of The Vibes. Better snag a ticket kick brahs and sisbrahs as these are going quick!

Be good kids! We’ll see you on lot next week.

We talk through the UMBowl II experience with the guys and find out what it’s like to experience this unique event. For an indepth review of the show see this review with some great photographs. It’s all things UM this week, Steve and Laura even share a little love story that takes place at a UM show.

Listen to Episode 69

Tons of things were discussed on the podcast this week, let’s get right to it!

Adam from Phish.net was back on the show again to unveil some new features of their website. Take a listen to find out what’s new.

Phish announced the 2nd leg of their summer tour. Looks like the west coast is finally getting some love. Highlights of the tour include 2 nights at The Gorge, and 2 sets at the Outside Lands musical festival in San Francisco.

Speaking of Phish, looks like we’re having a repeat of  last year where scalpers are advertising Phish tickets before they are even available through the lottery or on sale. This time the culprit is Ticket Network.  Please feel free to give them a piece of your mind on twitter, their handle is @TicketNetwork.

In our last piece of Phish news it looks like there’s finally a flat breezy for all you untz loving Phish fans. This item is not on Phish Dry Goods website so this might not even be real. If you want to take a look at the rumored flat brim hat check out this link.

Prince is taking a page from his last tour at MSG and has booked 21 nights at the forum in LA. That’s a whole lot of high heels and scarves he’s going to have to lug out west.

For you creatures of the night, Bonnaroo has announced their late night bands. There’s something for everyone in this lineup.

Furthur also announced their summer tour this week. If you ask us it’s pretty damn ambitious, they have booked nearly every big shed this summer.

After nearly 12 years The New Deal is calling it quits. You can catch them on their farewell tour this summer. Goodbye and good luck guys!

We run through the voicemails and even manage to answer some travel questions for a fan this week. Thank you to everyone who left us a message, keep them coming!

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

TWoL 66: I’m back bitches!

Listen to Episode 66

Well just as the title suggests our own resident Noob Laura is back as a guest cohost this week. Along with Toonces (aka Steve T.) Laura will be rotating as a cohost. Welcome back Laura!

The first order of business tonight on the TWoL agenda was the cryptic tweets that Watkins Glen president Mr. Michael Printup. Starting last Friday morning (March 18th) Michael sent out a tweet saying “I think I am going phishing this weekend” he sent proceeded to send out a few more cryptic tweets hinting out the announcement of the long rumored Phish festival. On Sunday night he crushed many a phans hopes and dreams when he tweeted that his “surprise” announcement may be delayed.

Well Mr. Printup TWoL would like to offer you an invitation and some advice. The invitation is to come on our show and explain your comments and choice to tease the phans. The advice is to NOT do it again, it’s killing us. But seriously in all good fun we would love to have you on the show anytime before or during the festival that we all know is eventually going to be announced.

The only hangup to the festival seems to be found in an article our buddy Scotty from Yemblog posted. The basis of the article states that  there is no permit from Schuyler County, county officials say an application hasn’t been filed yet. Hopefully this will happen soon and we can all stop going nuts over the rumors.

Got your tickets for Mayan Holidaze? Good because if you don’t you’re most likely screwed. This exotic musical adventure works on the token system and if you haven’t gone in the past your only option is to get on the waiting list and pray. Steve found that out the hard way, you’ll have to listen to the episode to get the full details.

The Jam in the ‘Dam initial lineup has been announced, there’s no indication yet whether more bands are added. Our reaction so far has been meh. We like all the bands playing but for that much money it’s hard to justify jetting across the pond for a 3 day trip. If you can afford it go for it, to each their own!

Just a reminder early bird tickets for Camp Bisco X have sold out! VIP tickets and Platinum VIP tickets are still available. Check out tickets here and peep the first round of artists here. I think we were so excited about Camp in general, we didn’t go over all the artists (oops).

In other festival related news, Vevo is going to be offering streaming to your mobile device from Bonnaroo for select shows. This offers the question of do I want to be at my laptop or phone if I can’t make it to Bonnaroo, the answer is you can be at both!

As always we go through voicemails, thank you to everyone who left us a voicmail, keep them coming!

Thank you everyone who gives us support, we’ll see you next week on lot hopefully with an official Watkins Glen announcement to discuss!
