Potential plans starting to come into motion for the year: This week: New Haven/JRAD at Cap Theater (happening for sure) April: Billy Strings/Daniel Donato and Cubs/Rays in Tampa then Goose Birmingham? NOLA Goose and Phish Sphere (happening for sure) June: MSG Goose?

Doubt they would play SPAC during the week but a Goose SPAC MSG run would be sick.

On my off week. Let’s ride

What a wild night #BearDown #GoCubsGo #RIPBobby

If anyone has an extra Cap JRAD ticket for Friday I will be willing to pay face or a slight bump if need be. I will just take a short train to the best city in America on a Friday night instead if not

Bob Weir gone and Cubs get Bregman within 30 min of each other while a Bears/Packers playoff game is on. What a fucking roller coaster.

Holy shit JRAD tickets just sky rocketed. Should have bought last night. Fri went from $160 to over $1k

RIP Bobby. Happy I’m making to JRAD for sure now next weekend

16-0 and #2 in the country next week #Cyclones Now it’s time to #BearDown

lol I’m listening for the first time since I was at show and I was caught in the mic at :30 secs yelling “LETS GO” Was my first Rosewood in 30 shows and was about 5 rows back.

Bold choices in my bracket picks: Boise Rosewood final 4 Fiddlers Factory Fiction elite 8 MSG Tumble sweet 16 Grand Rapids Hungersite over Goosemas Arrow Final four: GR Madhuvan Westville All I Need Bend Thatch Boise Rosewood Westville AIN over Bend Thatch in the final

Seeing lots online and offline quitting alcohol. Super awesome to see. I have cut down on drinking to excess as well, but still have a beer or two at social events. Some people can limit themselves, but some really struggle with that, and it can be hard to admit that. Props to those that have.

Charlotte Hungersite, not Richmond

Chicago Tumble may be the most overrated seed. The more I listen the more it just sounds like Mann 2.0. Milwaukee Hungersite at 8 is ridiculously low also. Should switch seeds with the Tumble

Boise Rosewood in a good position to make a run imo. Think it will get by Columbus Wysteria and Alpharetta Madhuvan. Dark horse to take out MWK Madhuvan also due to the type of jams they both are.

MSG Red Bird is by far the least deserved bracket entry. Absolute MSG bias here

I think Goosemas Arrow has massive recency bias. Maybe I need to give it more listens, but it doesn’t do anything any other evil dissonant Arrows haven’t done in the past imo

15 jams didn’t make my bracket, 10 if you include honorable mentions. My highest ranked jams to miss official bracket: Vegas Big Modern (19) Charlotte Creatures (24) Richmond Red Bird (27) Indy Pancakes (28) Richmond Hungersite (32)

Can’t believe Indy Pancakes missed the bracket. Arguably a top 20 jam. Worst snub since SCamp Thatch

So that Tweezer goes on 2026 JOTY lists right lol

wtf is going on at MSG lol

Maybe the real big jams were the friends we made along the way

Glad I didn’t make the trip for YEMSG this year and chose Sphere instead. Gag is gonna have to be incredible to save this run imo

Happy I decided to couch tour this one. Big time vibes set that would be tougher to appreciate listening on the app at work in a couple days.

Yeah this is dope

Calling Westville All I Need winning JOTY in 2025. Best least polarizing jam that came out this year

Shelling out the money to couch your YEMSG tonight. N3 usually the best night musically and never around for New Years

Well it appears Theme will be what I jump on once Live Phish posts

I lied. Still need to hit the Gorge as well

YEMSG is the top of my list for next year. Only real bucket list item left for music outside of making it to the Cap Theater, which may happen for JRAD in a couple weeks.

DA BEARS

Considering a JRAD Cap Theater/New Haven pizza tour in January. Will wait a bit longer and see what the weather looks like

Gonzo Thatch > Bend Thatch 🤷‍♂️

I have the Gilford Rockdale ranked way too low lol. Just popped up on shuffle on my drive to my brothers for Christmas

My official bracket submission ℹ️: 2025 Goose JOTY Letterbomber Official 🎵: 64 tracks ⌛: 24:03:31 2nu.gs/4oYxzRp

2 down 1 to go

Night 2 blew night 1 out of the water imo. #Goosemas

Hope we get some horn infused jams in NOLA for Goose pre-Jazz fest. Groovy ass Thatch

This is also fucking fire

Catching the stream late. This is fucking hot

Sick af cover

LFG

Got in right at 15 min before queue lmao #PhishSphere

Got Thursday Sphere floors! Still waiting to hear back on Friday and Saturday

tamin lipsey imo

This bar is playing old outlaw country. Got some Glen Campbell, Gordon Lightfoot Hank Williams Jr and then Shakedown Street. Bartender’s choice. Killing it

Been quite the roller coaster of being an Iowa State fan this weekend. Lost our football coach but then beat the #1 ranked team on the road by 20 in basketball. I’ll trade a basketball natty for 10 shitty years of football.

South Florida is about the only place I recommend going to the touristy areas rather than finding the local spots when traveling solo. Just a lot of rude people in general outside of the chill old dude that retired down here. Hope DSO is better tonight.
