TWoL 68: “Super Ball Icks”

Listen to Episode 68


This week TWoL calls an audible play at the last minute and recruited Amy Fisher to guest host. She joins the two Steve’s as Nick was away on work, Emilie was MIA, and Noob Laura flat out said no. But it’s all good, as Amy will be going to Superball IX, so she was ready to wax poetic about our main topic. And while the details are still pretty sparse, we discuss what is known about Phish’s 3 day festival in Watkins Glen NY. Of course, there is much debate about the 2 ticket options and the “uber tent”, but at least we all like the payment plan that is available.

As has been the trend lately, there is more festival news to discuss. Rock and Roll Resort saw a lot report from a listener. Nateva has been cancelled. And Phil is setting up a “home base” in California.

We had another great week of voicemails from you guys, keep them coming. We’ll see everyone on lot next week.

Special Report: Camp Bisco 9, “The Silent Podcast”

Listen to Special Report – Camp Bisco 2010


Hey guys, this week we have a special report for ya, live from Camp Bisco 2010. This is a unique episode, as it will bring some firsts to the program. As usual, we hit you up with an episode discussing the scene. This week, the players are “Noob” Laura, PhanArt Pete, and myself (Steve). We review the camp grounds, our favorite sets of music, and all the “WHOMP” we ran in too (WHOMP is the new UNTZ). Next, I hit shakedown and scored interviews with vendors and artists. Finally, we add some updates during the rain delay that occurred on Saturday night, delaying the Biscuits final throw down.

In addition to the episode, I also have put together some photos and videos of the weekend. There is so much to do at Camp Bisco, it would be impossible to do it justice in the half hour broadcast. True to our mission, we are bringing you a snap shot of “the lot”, but I couldn’t help but throw in some band photos and coverage. This was my 5th Camp Bisco, and without hesitation, I can say it was for reals the best one. If you have never been, you have to go next year. I know I will be going.

Finally, I would like to apologize for the crappy audio on my mic during the first half of the episode. Laura and Pete sound good, but I had some weird shit going on. I hope this isn’t a deal breaker, the rest of the audio is great, but I wanted to acknowledge it. Also, big ups to Laura and Pete for joining in this episode. Thanks to the carenwest pr for having TWoL on the scene.  Finally thanks to the Disco Biscuits for putting on one hell of a good time!
