I have read all I can find of Vonnegut. My personal favorite is Slapstick. It is the most mature blend of humour and satire he wrote IMO. Slaughter House 5 is a completely different style from everything else, but a must-read. I also love his early works like Player Piano (fear technology people) and Sirens of Titan. Galapagos is another phenom, up there with Cat's Cradle.
Timequake was a very late book, and I do not remember it well, but I do remember loving it.
There is the big cosmic joke book too, with the time-travelling dog...I think it was Sirens of Titan....maybe not, but what a fucking well-crafted stiry. Blew my mind when I read it. Maybe it was the drugs.

I dig it!
It think other than a few weak tracks, the album is very complete and is definately the best-produced album they have put out. Scents and Army of One are wicked tracks. Maybe better for the non-phans with less sense of Phistory (if I can very boldly make up a word) then for the people still stuck in 1998.
Be open when you listen.

Shit! That was supposed to be a surprise treat. Well, now that the offer is out there...

Me and My Little Pony will be leaving for SPAC saturday morning. If anyone wants a ride, let me know by email or phone (416 509 4650). Leaving from Toronto and probably going by ferry or by buffalo depending on things. Early morning, maybe 9 or 10 departure. I am staying at a friends in Albany (no room for more since I think I am in the kitchen already - I am sure hotel dropoffs are possible). Come home Monday morning. Back by 5pm.
My Little Pony rocks - except the back seat is a bit tight.

"Woke today......"
Dude. That song so got me through my last breakup. My personal favorite Dead song and wicked lyrics. Nice call.

Following Trey Anastasio's statement on Phish.com that the upcoming
Coventry
festival would be Phish's last ever shows, there has been a rash of
follow up
statements from various camps in the jamband world.
Sources at Madison House denied that Michael Kang has left String
Cheese
Incident to front a new band known as Phosh, consisting of Kang,
Fishman,
McConnell and Gordon. "That's ridiculous," said a Madison House
spokesperson.
"Anyone who listens to Kang play knows he's never even heard of these
other
people".
Sources at Phish management denied the rumour that McConnell, Gordon
and Fishman
had asked to audition for the Trey Anastasio Band, rumored to be
touring
supporting a new album in the fall. "Aren't they already IN that
band ? Oh, hang
on a sec.." said a confused spokesperson.
In other news, several bands have cancelled dates scheduled for the
weekend in
August of the Coventry festival . Jimmy D-Dog, lead singer of local
Wisconsin
jamband "Hot Diggedy" was saddened that they would have to cancel
their annual
local "420 every hour on the hour" festival. "Everyone who bought
advanced
tickets has called for a refund", he said glumly. " They're all going
to Vermont
now. Even Stinky our bass player just bought Coventry tickets".
Rumors of what the other three who aren't Trey are going to do next
abound. Mike
Gordon is rumored to be joining NE legends Max Creek, prompting
existing Creek
bass player John Rider to remark "Oh crap, I knew this day would
come. Its just
a matter of time now." McConnell is rumored to be planning to get
down on his
knees and beg to be allowed into the Trey Anastasio Band, while
Fishman
apparently is getting ready to launch a "spiffy new line of man
dresses that
play my solo stuff when you stand under running water." This has
apparently
confused many Phish fans, who have been asking what this "running
water" stuff
is.
A Phish spokesman said "the other members of Phish will no doubt
continue to
make very successful music with their own bands," though several
people could be
heard giggling in the background.
And of course, the big question is "what's next for Trey?" Varying
rumors have
Trey joining Dave Matthews full time, Trey replacing Dave Matthews in
the Dave
Matthews Band (to be renamed the Trey Matthews Band) while Mr.
Matthews runs off
to Hawaii with Emmylou Harris, and Trey taking 6 months off to smoke
his money.
The BIG rumor involves Trey joining Warren Haynes in a supergroup
called "Trey,
Warren and the Other Guys (does it really matter who?)", called "Trey
and
Warren" for short, who will be introduced at a concert produced by
Superfly.
Superfly are said to be negotiating to hire Staten Island for a week
long
festival headlined by the two megasupergiants of the jam. Staten
Island will be
renamed "Wookie Island" for the festival.
In a related story, Phish have now apparently expanded the site of
the upcoming
Coventry festival, to accomodate the expected mass influx of Phans
wanting to
catch a last glimpse of their heroes. the new new site for the
festival is now
apparently "the greater Vermont area".
String Cheese Incident have apparently reversed their booking trend
and are now
once again booking large sheds and ampitheaters for the fall. When
this reporter
called Madison House for comment, there was apparently a party going
on in the
offices, and whoever answered the phone was unhappy that I "wasn't the
noisemakers dude." When asked what effect Phish's permanent
retirement might
have on String Cheese Incident, the answerer just had one
word : "Yeeeehaw!!!".

While Bisco and SCI certainly have the largest followings currently, and once upon a time you may have said, "Well, if Phish were done, the phans would have to go somwehere." But really, these bands have been around long enough and the phishheads who dig em (Bisco and SCI) already go see the shows, so where will the extra support come from. In fact, many of the fans of these bands already have fans who refuse to see phish (or if they do see phish, they just bitch that it's not dancy enough - fricking biscofans - or not bad enough -- stupid SCI fans). I do not see a void to fill since alot of the bands out there do quite well enough. When the Dead folded, there were no half-giants like Bisco and SCI so Phish could sweep up all the leftovers from the Dead (although that can be argued as bulshit too). Now, at the risk of making this point any more convoluted and disastrous, I think it would have to be a less established band to get as big as Phish and develop into a band that can bring out the numbers needed to put on those mega fesivals. Nero is up and coming but I dont know if they have it. They certainly can jam, but maybe they need some better writing (don't quote me on that, ain't seen them in over a year and I did really like them). I do not see any trance-type band getting that big for the simple fact that they also do not write great songs, they just groove real good. Phish had groove, ecleticism, song-writing, mad playing chops, a dorky front guy and a dude with a dress. No one can top that who I know of. Maybe I should start a band again. I only wnat to play if I cna be as big as Phish, and since there is space now.....TonyRage Groove Band is back on.

I was gone for eight months. It was all amazing but if you would lie more specific advie, shoot me a personal message and let me know which countries you are off to. I can give some specific highlights you may dig. If you haven't decided which countries to do, I reccomend Laos for sure. I have also heard good things about Vietnam and the Phillipenes. Vietnam is tough to do well though, helps if you have friends there.
-
Oz, NZ, Thailand Laos and Cambodia. And then CTMF (which was the best for sure).

In case you missed it Sunday on account of CTMF, you can now make up church in your spare-time.

This is sweet! The Satan story is particularly funny to me. I bet it was Jared.

I think the nerdiness was there from the beginning with the band. Trey seems like he must've been a huge geek. And Paige, c'mon. We all know Mike is still a geek and Fishman is the only cool one in the bunch.
The next huge mosnter city-sized festival band is gonna be..........................
CAVERN -- no wait, no.
It'll be..........there is no one!
Good!

dude!
Who is Hansel and that quote ROCKS! I also don't listen to Sting's music. I saw a documentary on him on an airplane and he talked about how he never understood why the Police had such a great sound, but not once did he mention Stewart Copeland or Andy Summers. What a putz!
-
Got back two weeks ago....Thoise pictures on the other thread are helping me out a bit. I still can't believe Mike played with Caution Jam. He was fucked up...wayy up.
Anyone going out tonight to Silver Dollar or to That One Guy?
-
Ok - So I went again to CTMF and this time I met VVilly. Why did I not meet more of you. Or...maybe I met many of you but do not remember. There is a small hole on Sunday night from Caution Jam till Monday Morning. Apparently I really liked Diesel Dog.
-
I fully respect the band for this. I felt like I was going to shows now only to try and capture the one special show that I never seemed to get. Not that I did not enjoy every show I saw....it's just that feeling of having to be there weighs me down some time. This'll save me cash and maybe get me out to see younger bands and more festivals.
As to the announcement being from Trey, I think it is fair to say that the rest of the band forced hime to write it cause he most likely was the catalyst for the breakup. I bet he just wants to tour with Dave Matthews now and get on top of that 15-18 yr old scene.
And to top it all off....who cares about Phish when we have Cavern!
-
Last year I think It went past midnight, but I am not positive. I think if you move yo ass you can make it by 9pm or 9:30 though, which should be around set break. You can hustel to Burlington in 2:30 if you make good time and don't get hassled by the border cops.

I don't know man...I really do not think that is waht they were going for on this one. It's just a different sound. It seems less commercially viable than round room, and round room seemed less commercially viable than Farmhouse. I think they are just getting older, and since we are too, maybe we can try and meet them halfway.
