Special Report: Jam Cruise 11

Listen to Special Report Jam Cruise 11

This week on the podcast we are reviewing Jam Cruise, which has become the favorite annual event for many music lovers. While none of your hosts were on the boat this year due to a detour, we have all the details thanks to a couple special TWoL correspondents. Joining me are long time guest of the show, Pete “Phanart” Mason, and listener turned photog for hire, “Fee the Prodigy.” This was Pete’s first time on the boat and he was simply blown away, which is no easy feat since he is writing the book on festivals (literally). It was Fee’s second year on the boat, having bunked with the TWoL crew on JC10. In this forty minute long episode the three of us hit you with all you need to know about life on the boat.  And just like on the boat, there isn’t a dull moment. We promise.

Thanks for listening and stay tuned next week when we will be back with a regular episode and a new host.

TWoL 116: Bath Salts

Listen to Episode 116

Well, it’s been about a month since the last TWoL. Honestly though, it wasn’t our fault. There were quite the scheduling conflicts, Superstorm Sandy, and then live music. With so much to cover it was tough to decide where to start. Long story short, this episode contains reviews a plenty covering all the music we saw. This includes Trey, Phil, Everyone Orchestra, and Umphrey’s McGee. As a bonus, we also have PhanArt’s coverage of the Bear Creek Festival. Finally, we look ahead to Conspirator in NYC and Ryan Montbleau in Philly.

Hopefully you didn’t forget about us. We have lots in store for the fall and New Years. Stay tuned!!

Special Report: Live at the Poster Show

Listen to Special Report: Live at the Poster Show

This past weekend, during Phish’s stellar three day Atlantic City run, the Mothership Art Collective presented the First Tube Poster Show and TWoL was on hand, reporting live.  The show was held on Saturday at the Trump Plaza Casino and featured more than a dozen artists from across the country, selling posters, pins, tee-shirts and all manner of other Phish and music related art.  The event was a great success pulling in an estimated 1,000 fans.  The artists and fans alike were in great spirits and the buzz in the room was positively electric.  Steve ran the show for TWoL, while Toonces and I worked the crowd.  Listen in to the edited version of the live stream to hear interviews with artists and fans.  This is a great listen for those who missed the event and for those who want to relive it.  Thanks to Pete “Phanart” Mason for inviting TWoL and to the Mothership Art Collective for putting on such a great event.  I am already looking forward to a bigger and better event on the next tour!

Beyond the poster show, we give the basic rundown about Bader Field and Atlantic City in general. Since this was recorded Saturday afternoon, there is not much to say about the shows. For a full recap on all the music, be sure to tune into the next type 2 cast.

Until next time, enjoy tour, travel safely and rage proper!

TWoL 108: Steve and Pete

Listen to Episode 108

I’m gonna keep this post short.

It’s myself and PhanArt. He’s been on many a TWoL before. We talk about his recent trip to Hangout Fest and my trip to the Googa Mooga. We run through your voice mails. There’s some deep analysis re: Phish tour > tickets, the poster show, and tweetups. Lastly, no Steve/Pete TWoL would be complete without all the necessary Bisco updates. What does this mean for you?  Laughter. Tears. Awkward moments.

Thanks for listening, see you on tour.

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!

TWoL 33: Let’s get this show on the road!

After last weeks long but worthwhile episode we thought we would keep it short and sweet this week. We welcome back Pete from PhanArt to discuss an upcoming art show and also to mention that he will be our sponsor for the first leg of tour. Listen to the episode to find out details on how you can win some uber h3tty posters and t-shirts from PhanArt.

First leg of Phish tour is right around the corner and we want to make sure that you are aware of ticket prices. We run through a quick ticket check of the first part of tour and let you know where prices stand. Surprisingly one of the smallest venues might not be as hard a ticket as previously thought.

Once again we want to say congratulations to Mr. Chris for winning the Alpine travel package from CID Entertainment. Keep those lot stories coming in people, we want to hear about anything and everything during this first leg of tour!
