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!

TWoL 90: and Nick’s at furthur…. so… there’s that.

Listen to Episode 90

Steve, Katie and Steve discussed the brah who got beat down on lot in Colorado for simply selling his wares.  The Denver Westword wrote a long piece detailing the facts, laws, etc. Do you have a good Phish lot confiscation story?  Leave us a voicemail: 419-NO-WOOKS.

Next up:  All Trey all the time!  TAB tour began this week with a benefit at Higher Ground for Hurricane Irene victims.  They debuted two new songs and the show is available on LivePhish for all those who can’t wait for AUDs.  This week Trey hits the Carolinas and Maryland.  Check out the Ticket Rundown for prices near you.

Jam Cruise announced its Theme Nights:  Mothership Masquerade, Go Green and Yacht Club.  Get your creative costume juices flowing!  And for those of you still on the fence, only 35 cabins left.

Next up TWoL’s shows for the week.  Toonces hit WSP, with an unsurprisingly questionable crowd.  Of course, he fit right in.   He also hit PGroove with listener @RickRoth3.  And finally, Dayglow – body paint, neon lights and DJs.  What else could you ask for?

In the meantime, Steve and Katie hit Conspirator at Brooklyn Bowl.  Steve says it was his favorite Conspirator show – The Wall/Shakedown mash-up was a highlight!  Katie followed that up the next night by a show by the London Souls at Brooklyn Bowl, a NYC band who has a modern take on the 70’s – if you like Hendrix or Zeppelin, check them out.

And finally, just ‘cause the Phish isn’t touring doesn’t mean there isn’t fall music.  Check out Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Railroad Earth and the Cactus himself.

That’s it for this TWoL.  Looking forward to Emily’s return next week and hoping that Nick doesn’t get seduced by Wooks with crystals and promises of free heady grilled cheese for life…

Peace!

Katie

Listen to Episode 85

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!

Episode 84: The Right Coast

Listen to Episode 84

For the first time ever, we have Steve squared + Emilie all on the correct coast and all on the show together. To kick things off, Emilie settles in to eastern standard time and tells about her last hurrah on the left coast at Outside Lands. Long short, Phish is back! You heard it here first.

Chitown is throwing down this week, and we take a brief moment to discuss it. Breaking news: Phish is back!

A Colobrahdo ticket check shows tix going for less than face. Trey shows, however, are on the high side with a few of them sold out. Is an all southeast/midatlantic Trey tour a bit odd? One host might think so, but Toonces says don’t sleep on the south. With the addition of two more show in the SE, we have to wonder if there’s something planned for the open Halloween weekend…

…how about Moog Fest in Ashvegas? Whether or not something Phishy gets added, this lineup looks pretty freaking sweet. We just might have to hit this one up.

Thanks for the voicemails this week! We love hearing from the field. Not only did we get a vm that was left a mere hour before the show, we also had an intrepid reporter that sent an email report when his phone went down. Way to think outside the dial tone!

Lastly, Toonces gives a quick recap Floyd Fest. Basically, don’t sleep on the south. Look for Uno to be tweeting from Colobrahdo this weekend, while Emilie gets herself in the swing up in Beantown.

This just in: Phish is back! You heard it right here, pholks.

TWoL 76: Why aren’t you watching the Stream?

Listen to Episode 76

(Note: please excuse the low end hum that is present on the audio. I apologize in advance, and will work on fixing for next week. Thanks - Steve)
 

What’s shaking, kids?  TWoL comes at you this week as summer tour is in full swing, and we waste no time getting down to the nitty gritty.  While we were bringing you the goods last night, Noob Laura was on the scene in Great Woods with her Noob Mom.  And speaking of moms, Steve fills us in on the PNC shows, where UnoMom got her phirst taste of the band on night 2.  She was impressed by the Chuck Norris look-alike on guitar and was quite the trooper.  You go UnoMom!
 
We got a sultry dose of Emilie this week as she gave us her thoughts on the Bethel run.  Magical sums it up nicely.  She waxed poetic on the benefits of being a Bethel Woods member, the lush lawn, friendly staff, and tidy bathrooms.  Basically, don’t sleep on tour openers, especially if their in Bethel!
 
Moving forward, we’ve got Camden and MPP up this weekend, where all of TWoL East will be in attendance.  There won’t be a mobile studio, but you can rest assured that we’ll be keeping you updated through the social media tronz and have a full recap for you next week.  A quick ticket check shows prices holding steady, and fairly low for some of the southern shows.  That might change soon, however.  Pro tip: always check the box office if you strike out in lot.  Also, we’ve discovered that if you already have tickets and there’s a re-release, you have a good chance at getting an upgrade via the box office or via phone.
 
There was a slew of voicemails this week.  Thanks for all the calls!  We’ll hear from a Rodney Dangerfield sound-alike, Mountain Jam, and the weekends shows.  Keep those lot reports coming!
 
Lastly, we got so caught up talking about the Phish that we just about ran out of time for other news:  
 
Long short, Camp Bisco VIP tickets are selling fast so don’t sleep on them.  Steve and Nobb Laura will there on the scene providing complete coverage. Be sure to say hi.
 
 Hidden Track is giving away two general admission tickets to Governor’s Ball in their “Everybody Wins When We Plug Something And In Return They Offer Us Free Shit To Give Away” program.  You can enter twice by leaving one comment on their webpage and another comment on their Facebook.  The contest ends on Monday, June 13th at 11:59am.  
 
Finally, we got an email from our friend M@ about a new program he was hoping to test at Great Woods, called Crowd Lights.  Basically you can download the app for Droid or Iphone, and you become the light show.  Theoretically, if everyone opens the app and faces their phones to the band, they get a light show from us.  Sounds pretty cool.  If you were in Mansfield, let us know if you saw the test and what you thought.  Neat.
 
See you on lot!

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 67

Is the highly anticipated 9th Phish festival about to be announced? Hell we don’t know, there’ s been so much speculation at this point anything is possible. Speaking of anything being possible, the name of the Watkins Glen festival is rumored to be SuperBall 9. Online Phish Tour broke the news after some serious internet sleuthing about who owns the web domain. Read all the details here.

The schedule for the Rock and Roll Resort Festival has been released! Each night has a party theme and suggestion of what to wear. Make sure if you haven’t yet to get your tickets for this exclusive party!

We run through most of the voicemails we received but had to leave out a few. Thank you to everyone who left us a lot report! If we missed yours we’ll get to it next week! Don’t forget to program us in your phone 419-NO-WOOKS is the number!

Ever brought a parent to a jamband show? And said parent wasn’t exactly a fan? Or even remotely into the scene? Leave us a  comment on the blog and tell us about it. Steve will be taking his mom to PNC for Phish and wants to know about your experiences.

Thanks again for the support everyone, we’ll see you next week on lot!

Show Notes: Nick was sick with the wook flu from AC, so Steve and Emilie trucked on. This episode is full of banter, often of the explicit type. Secret language signals are plentiful since the live show was done in video. One major flub occurred when both hosts forget to mention who won the Touropoly contest. Congratulations to “Underground Villain” and “Yaga Dave” who won the board game, and should be in the mail to them by the weekend.

.

Audio Notes: Lots of noticeable level changes throughout, we can only imagine some of Nick’s wook flu hit the interwebs and messed with the equipment here in the studio.

.

Other: This is not an episode for a #TWoL noob. Take caution when listening.

TWoL 47: Stuff White People Like

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!

Happy happy oh my friend! TWoL is one year old! Thank you to everyone for your continued support and encouragement, it means more than you know!

This week we have some old friends back to discuss the wrap up of leg 2 of Phish Summer Tour and the upcoming Fall 2010 Tour. Our guests are Scotty who runs YEMblog and also does work for Hidden Track on Glide Magazine, and an old favorite…Noob Laura! Although she might not be a Noob anymore, you’ll have to listen to find out the details.

Bringing some positivity to the Phish scene there was an announcement today that the Mockingbird Foundation and The Mimi Fishman Foundation has raised over $1 million dollars! Glad to see things like that a making some “mainstream” news instead of the JB jumper.

Also hot off the press are the results of the Phish Summer Tour Survey that our friend Parker (the same Parker of the now infamous SKYGATE2010 TWoL debate) created. We all agreed and were glad to see that Deer Creek was the winner for the best lot.

Next up we decide to open up the closet and listen to the very first pilot episode of TWoL, it’s only 2 minutes long but it brings back many a memory. We also discuss what are our favorite moments on TWoL during a recap of the previous years episodes.

Finally as always we listen to your voicemails and check out a photo submission we received from one fan. Thank you everyone for listening and submitting your voicemails, photo’s, and comments, we really appreciate it.

We appreciate the free advertising and have no doubt you will look fly in that TWoL hoodie.
