Saw an ICE recruitment ad in my LinkedIn feed today. Reported it as a terrorist organization.

@terrence.bsky.social I just made banana bread from the 6 black bananas in my freezer

You don’t take people’s potato chips

I have no doubt that i would be targeted if i were still a professor bc i like to teach ideas like “music is inherently political” and “Black composers were suppressed because of systemic racism” and “some composers were gay”

Holy shit just saw One Battle After Another tonight. Really incredible movie. Very intense given <gestures wildly> everything going on

Rose called me after the BMFS show in Utrecht tonight. Sounds like everyone is a bunch of messy Americans when you see Billy in Europe! Shocked/not shocked

Bag of dog food was $74 instead of $55 today. All tariffs. Absolute garbage

That is unintentionally funny cardboard placement in my in-laws’ house

My thing is, my family came to the U.S. from an authoritarian country and I'm not moving again so we have no choice but to win and fix all this shit

Anyone have an extra or two for Bertha in Cambridge tonight?? For a friend not me @lindsayclaire.bsky.social @hotsoupski.bsky.social @boneydiego.bsky.social

The title track off the new page album, which I’m loving so far, reminds me of Keyboard Cavalry in a good way

Got my post-Hampton inbox under 100

You owe it to yourself to watch Neil Young and Phish tear up Down By The River at Farm Aid youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Welp…ISO 2 for the 30th and 31st

Saturday night Hampton was so surreal. On the rail for the whole show, it was like I couldn’t trust my assessment of the music until a relisten. Finally getting to my first relisten and it’s so good. One of my favorite things is how they just jammed on the simple riff, no lyrics, on the reprise

If the rapture does happen today, at least the last Phish song I heard was a fantastic Harry Hood

Every time Phish has played the Scents intro since 2009, it’s been a little rugged. Like, they remember it, but they don’t remember the exact groove of it. Until last night. They absolutely nailed that slinky, dark, klezmer funk groove and I was SO THERE FOR IT!

if you’re in line to get raptured, STAY IN LINE

“Folks this is your captain, Matty…” No, sir. When you are piloting my airplane, you are Matthew. Maybe Matt.

You haven’t lived until you’ve seen Nessy slow grind to A Life Beyond a Dream

How I feel waking up Monday after Hampton

Our friends were all in section Y and then we got there and a bunch of our OTHER friends were also in section Y and in summary I would like to thank section Y for being fucking awesome @happybee3.bsky.social @hanc247.space @dustinthenjames.bsky.social @beckymayyy.bsky.social @dwepic.bsky.social

So I called it Wave of Hope->Simple jam

Holy Moonage Daydream, Batman!

Oh hi from da rail

Well looks like we’ll be on the rail tonight!!

Welcome to the Hampton lots!!

Take a minute today and tell the USDA not to rescind the Roadless Area Conservation Rule

Sharing to remind myself to comment on my lunch break. Y’all should too!

Since arriving in Virginia, I’ve had crab at every meal. Please clap.

We've only moved deeper into the pattern of excusing polite racism, so I'll just repost this piece from the weekend: campaign-trails.ghost.io/the-white-ci...

Me and @smoothatonalsound.bsky.social rolling up to Hampton in our Kia Soul rental car.

At least a couple other parties clearly headed to Hampton on this early morning flight Hartford to Norfolk

Just so I'm clear: TV host says we should kill every homeless person? No big deal TV host says the right must "go to war" with the left? Pfft. TV host says the government is cracking down on critics? Well, the government cracks down on him for the criticism. Free speech, everyone.

The world is burning we’re on the brink of civil war but DID YOU HEAR THAT CRAZY JAMMED OUT PYITE INTRO!???!!!!

That little blissy gentle 4-chord thing was absolutely marvelous

One thing I love that Phish does is when they put a "set closer" jam on a song that doesn't usually close a set. That "Jim" was exactly it. No notes, 10/10 jam.

Three jam chart worthy songs (Cities, Bathtub Gin, and Runaway Jim) in the first set? Please and thank you.

This is some god-tier Phish jamming here. Page's synths are just so good

This is better than the Cities jam I heard a Dead cover band play last night

Trey's in a hoodie, everything's all goodie

Yikes the comments section on that post of Trey w TV on the Radio 😳. I’m not surprised, given the way some phans have treated anyone who shows even the slightest bit of sympathy for Palestinians. Hell, even using that word, they’re gonna come for me in reply to this post.

Favorite greatest hits albums go

Eyyy who up djokin’ they vitch?

It has randomly happened in the last 24 hours that I found out people close to me aren’t familiar at all with Reckoning. So random. My first three live dead listening experiences were Europe 72, One from the Vault, and Reckoning. So much nostalgia listening to it now

We all think of 2004 Phish as a total shit show, and some of it was, but holy shit that June 04 tour was banger after banger every night. Super high-level jams almost every night. Stuff that makes you ask “what show is this??!!!!” because you never listen to it. This CD is the best of the best

Mayor Brandon of Chicago responds to a question from a reporter if pushing back will make things harder? “Can you imagine if my ancestors would have had the same rationale? Let’s not fight against the Confederacy. Let’s just try to get along, and maybe one day they’ll give us our freedom?”

Finally, the @phishstudies.bsky.social videos from the 2024 Oregon conference are up on the @mbird.org YouTube page! Huge thanks to everyone who helped make this happen. My paper “Cover Songs, Genre, and Cow Funk, or, Why Does Phish Play ‘Cities’ So Slowly?” is here: youtu.be/SC9O0B22R04?...
