Hardcore Ween fans got a little surprise over the weekend when Mickey "Dean Ween" Melchiondo posted a previously unreleased track entitled "The Wolfman" to Facebook. The 2007 demo was recorded in the run up to the band's tenth and final studio album, La Cucaracha. It came with a note attached to it from Melchiondo: "Ok, I promised Aaron I wouldn’t give out demos anymore w/o his approval but i just found this one from cucaracha that i have never really heard and have no idea why it didn’t get considered. it’s called “the wolfman”, we both wrote it and it has a very mid period bowie feel to it with screaming guitars. merry x-mas, this will be the last one for the holidays."

Are you a pro at predicting what songs Phish will play? Think you know the band better than everyone else? Introducing Phishball, the new, addicting fantasy Phish pick'em game. With Phishball, you're able to select two songs for certain categories, and accumulate points throughout any Phish show/run of shows. Phishballers can choose from categories like: first set, second set, third set (on NYE!), covers, encores, and bustouts. Correct picks are worth two points, with a pick in the wrong place worth only one, and bustouts are five points each! Phishball can be played with friends, or with the group at large. For those who want to make things interesting, there is an option to pay-to-play, with payouts to the highest 2 scores over the NYE run (60%/20%) and each nights top scorer (5% each). There are also single-day paid options, as well as a totally free, just for fun option, to get more comfortable with the game. And, as an added bonus, the winner of the free play option will receive a pair of lawn tickets to any of Phish's summer tour shows! Phishball was created by @phishballer in 2010, as an extension of a game played with pen and paper on Phish tour in the 90's. It's certainly a fun way for Phish phans to interact with the shows! The game is in its initial phases, with further updates planned for 2015, but check it out and good luck! http://phishball.com/

I don't get the masses love for that sturgill Simpson album either but i see it on a ton of peoples lists.

Haha, nice.

A music festival called CityFolk sounds like a name for a folk festival to anyone who hasn't called in a UFO sighting.

Wow, that is classy.

J Roddy Walston & the Business

Jam in the Van http://www.jaminthevan.com/sessions/ is a cool way to explore new music. They have a youtube channel as well here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Tp8auk6wP4

I was just reading that Jonathan Wilson, who was mentioned earlier in this thread, helped produce Conor's album.

Parsonsfield (formerly Poor Old Shine) *very Avett Brother like http://www.parsonsfieldband.com/music.html

The show runs from Dec 23 to March 1 at The Royal Alexander Theatre in Toronto http://www.mirvish.com/shows/theheartofrobinhood/tickets/buy-tickets A classic tale goes rogue in THE HEART OF ROBIN HOOD, the heart-pounding, eye-popping new stage adventure from the Royal Shakespeare Company that puts a bold new twist on the story of the world's most infamous outlaw. In this wildly inventive reimagining, Robin Hood isn't a beloved vigilante who gives to the poor.... he's just a headstrong thief. It's up to the brave Maid Marion to protect the kingdom and show this legendary hood how to be a hero. This raucous and thrilling production explodes off the stage with swashbuckling, acrobatics, comedy, romance and original music written and performed by the celebrated indie roots band Parsonsfield. Don't miss this internationally acclaimed, delightfully theatrical experience - it's Sherwood Forest like you've never seen it before! The band, Parsonsfield, sound very fun, check them out here http://www.parsonsfieldband.com/music.html Could be a fun family adventure!
