And just like that, YEMSG is over. But we still wanna talk about it. This week, Steve, Katie and Toonces tackle some hard hitting news topics: the ticket situation, the rainbow unicorn army, new MSG layout and security, train tacos, and other stuff that also happened. Musically this may have not been the best run of the year, but the MSG party never disappoints.
Thanks to the listeners who called in from Phish, moe., and STS9. We still wanna hear about all the other NYE shows across the land. It’s never to late to call in a lot report at 419.NO.WOOKS.
In other news, Phil Lesh finally found a home for his ramble style Terrapin Crossroads. The first performances are scheduled for March 2012. Road trip anyone??
Led Zeppelin cover band extraordinaire Bustle in Your Hedgerow returns to Brooklyn Bowl on January 26th and 27th. Featuring Marco Benevento, Dave Dreiwitz, Scott Metzger and Joe Russo, this is a Brooklyn tradition not to be missed!
And finally, Jam Cruise anticipation has reached fever pitch! Steve and Noob Laura sail this Monday so stay tuned for updates and special reports from the boat.
Happy 2012 everyone! Here’s to a ragin’ and music filled year!
New Years is right around on the corner and another year of TWoL is nearly under our belts. Thank you so much to those that have supported us and continue to support us, we appreciate you one and all!
This weeks’ episode we recap the upcoming New Years shows, specifically the Phish MSG run. So far there have been multiple rereleases of tickets for the sold out shows and unlike previous rerelease the announcements for them came from the official Phish twitter account. What does this mean? Is the Phish organization holding back more tickets for rereleases to prevent scalping? Did they simply hold back too many tickets on accident? All we know for sure is that more tickets are getting into fans hands and staying out of the scalpers and that’s a good thing.
The next few weeks full TWoL episodes will be on hiatus as we attend the Phish MSG shows, Disco Biscuits, and Jam Cruise. That doesn’t mean there won’t be updates though. We plan on tweeting from all shows and releasing special update reports so make sure to keep it locked on the TWoL twitter account, iTunes subscriptions, and the TWoL blog.
Make sure to leave us your lot reports from all the NYE shows you attend, we’ll play all of them once we get back to a full episode mid January. Hope everyone has a Happy Hanukkah, Merry Xmas, and Crazy Kwanza! We’ll see you in a few weeks!
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!
Had a few technical difficulties this week and started a little late, thanks to those that waited in the chat room. This week we talk Roger Waters, Phish, and Toonces’ pink flamingo.
Roger Waters has announced that we will bring the Pink Floyd classic The Wall to the United States as part of his world tour. He will be hitting west coast and east coast alike so if you have a chance to see this we highly recommend it. Also tickets go on sale Nov 14th and will most likely sell out very quickly.
Now for your weekly dose of Phish news! The long awaited Hampton 97 Box Set is on presale right now, hit up Phish Dry Goods to preorder. Trey talks about his upcoming musical that will debut California next year. Mr. Miner will be having a book signing in NYC for the Phish New Years Run. Last but not least Nick gives a rant about how there’s no need to freak out about getting shut out for Phish tickets 10 minutes after the onsale.
In non Phish news, The Disco Biscuits are releasing an oldie but goodie show from Princeton in 2000. This show is a fan favorite and even if you aren’t a fan of Bisco this show might change your mind.
We received a lot of great voicemails this week, thank you to everyone who took the time. The number is 419-NO-WOOKS for those who don’t know!
Thank you again everyone for the support, we’ll see you next week on lot!
This week Steve decided to pull a fast one the rest of the TWoL crew and record the preshow. Things were going to plan until the rest of the crew knew the jig was up but alas it was still a good episode. Nick talks about Furthur and the crusty wooks that come along with their traveling circus, Steve needs a ticket to TAB tomorrow, Emilie is going to some bands no one has ever heard of, and Katie…well Katie is having a birthday next Tuesday. We also talked about the Phish NYE 2012 MSG announcement, pretty much every member of TWoL will be there.
We received several voicemails, a few from some new callers, thank you to everyone who left a message! We’ll see everyone next week on lot!
There once was a band that quit then came back then quit then…well you get the picture. Sadly this is also a podcast that is having the same thing happen. Our own Noob Laura is calling it “quits” again, until the next time she comes back. The over/under on her return is 2 months. I’m personally going with the under, I don’t think she can stay away.
Firs thing on the agenda is an abandoned ginger seal. This poor bastard was left by his family in Russia. This has nothing to do with jambands other than I personally think it look a little bit like Trey from Phish. Just look at his eyes, looks like he is ready to bust out ASIHTOS at any moment.
Like jello shots? If so here’s 10 jello shot versions that are sure to turn heads if you sell them on lot. The best thing is that you will completely price the riff-raff and wooks out with these fancy versions.
Steve and Laura are planning on hitting up the Stir Fry Music Festival in PA next weekend. If you’re in the area it’s a good festival to check out before it gets too cold!
Don’t forget to leave us voicemails about what’s going in your lot! 419-NO-WOOKS is the number, make sure to program it in your phone.
Thank you to everyone who supports us, we’ll see you next week on lot!
Well, there wasn’t too much going on this week but we did manage to cover a few stories. Check out the links below and give the episode a listen to hear the details.
String Cheese Incident (SCI) is having a mini run over Thanksgiving and the first few days of December. It’s all on the East coast though so it should be interesting to see the turn out. The tour schedule is only 9 days, so their keeping it short and sweet.
Jam Cruise is having a theme night, a poker tournament, and a pool party! Sounds like you won’t get bored on this boat cruise. A few rooms are still available for those of you who might want to make a last minute trip.
Looks like Firestone don’t take no crap from no one when it comes to their logo usage or the likes of it. A Phan is getting sued for using a parody on some merchandise.
Our buddies Steve and Jared from GroupMe have made a deal with Skype and will be partnering with them to take things to the next level. Congratulations guys! TWoL has been a big supporter of GroupMe and we use it at nearly every show and festival we attend.
There is an essay contest to win some free tickets to the upcoming Phish shows in Colorado. If you still need tickets give it a shot!
Thank you everyone who left us a voicemail this week, keep them coming! We’ll see you next week on lot!
It’s been a long day for some of us here at TWoL but we managed to put together a pretty good episode for you this week!
Big news of the week is that we’re going to be streaming live from the Jambase office on August 12 at 3:3o pm EST with Andy Gadiel. We will be going through all the voicemails we receive this week and discussing predictions for the two Phish sets at Outside Lands as well as any comments our listeners have about the festival and lineup in general. Make sure to leave us a voice message this week and we’ll play it!
The schedule for Outside Lands was announced today, make sure you check it out so you can get your plans set. Don’t wook out and sleep in as there are some good early shows! The festival ends at 10 pm each night so make sure you make the most of it. There are late night shows available but you have to buy a ticket to these events. One thing we here at TWoL are excited about is the plethora of food options available.
It’s been a while so we decided to give you guys a ticket check this week. Looks like our predictions are coming true, tickets are going to be dirt cheap, save Tahoe and UIC. Our advice is to see if you can get an extra on lot and if not you can just walk up to the box office and buy one.
Following the footsteps of the Alpharetta shows from leg one this summer, Phish is going to be webcasting the two shoes from Tahoe, NV. You can get each single night or buy both nights for a discounted cost. Both TWoL West and TWoL East will be purchasing these. We plan on having a podcast during setbreaks so be on the lookout for that.
Thanks to everyone who supports us and leaves voicemails, we’ll see you next week on lot!
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!
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!.

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.
