4x4 tour

well, it happened.

4 nights of the phish. 8 sets of music, 10 hours of sleep all weekend, 85 songs played.

1000 unforgettable memories. I doubt I could ever come close to truly having that much fun in 4 days.

Hard to even describe.

Streets Used To Be Hot, Now Who's Next?

Just because we should all probably get that soft dick out our mouths...

LOOK OUT CAMDEN

It's official: Phish Tour 2010 is underway, and three shows deep. Thus far, the gentlemen from the mythical kingdom of Vermont by way of New Jersey, and now, Manhattan, have been accused of first degree murder in the three following states: Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. They have stolen the key from Gus Johnson, and are currently unlocking IT up and down my beloved East Coast. Somewhere, Kurt Vonnegut is satirizing wooks, spunions, and tree-thuggers alike, and the collective chunks of our brains lost on November 24, 2009 at Wachovia are gravitating towards a reunion with their proper vessels in Camden, exactly 8 months later. Coincidence? Trey, Page, Fish, and Air Gordon think not. You shouldn't either.

So far, both "Look Out Cleveland" and "Instant Karma" have gotten very familiar with my speakers. Seek out 6/11's Reba & Antelope, 6/12's aforementioned covers and evil Backwards Down the Numbrah Line, and as for Hershey, y'all were there, so phuck you.

Mike re-enacting D'Angelo's staged suicide at CP, Tom, Bells and Stevie's Poplar house.

That was quite a wild night. Silvio and Mike can attest to that. Sometimes you gotta just settle down in the dark with the Clifford Ball dvd.

Bin Laden Found Bathing In Oil...

Hey There Phanners!

As some of you may know, a TREMENDOUS amount of crunchy Phish tunes have been leaked, released, stolen, or whatever over the past few days... all in the pristine Pre-FM quality. So, as my Phish-Phast has ended (that period of time when one ingests no Phish prior to Tour in hopes of completely shocking their system into sensory overload glory) and the 2010 Phish Summer Tour starts Friday in conjunction with the MOTHER-FLIPPIN' 2010 World Cup, I decided I would step up, and in accordance with Stephen Malkmus, not abuse the trust. Here are the FLACS from the 2009 Bonnaroo From the Archives With Kevin Shapiro Shows, along with a handful of stand-alone crack candy.

Our Blue Heaven

Seeing alot of that blue sky blue lately - so let's take it back 83 years with the Jazz ballad 'My Blue Heaven' written by Mr. Walter Donaldson and George (don't call me Browning) Whiting

http://www.mediafire.com/?zwx3zjlo2xm

This particular rendition is sung by Tamar Korn with music from her band The Cangelosi Cards..For years I'd seen these charmers at Banjo Jim's in Alphabet City (Capacity: 14) on Monday nights. (If you find yourself in Crooklyn on the weekends, they now play at Moto on Fridays and Harefield Road in the early evening Sunday.)

Tamar is even cuter than she sounds, bouncing and announcing as she 'nostalgiafies' you to the speakeasy, pre/post-war, Billie Holiday (without the drug problem?) days..enjoy

..& If ya like the sound, let me know - i got a whoollle box of em.

...routine segway into another 'My Blue Heaven'.. A Steve Martin and Rick Moranis GEM of a flick that goes largely unheralded.. Just the tip...

P.S. - Mets climbing out of the depths with a sweep of the Broad Street Burnouts tonight? Tune in - i'll be the guy holding 3 Knish'.

So, uhhh

We should probably try to privatize this blog in the foreseeable future before the RIAA comes to our homes, destroys our hard drives, and takes us all away to their secret underground laboratory.

I've set it so this blog won't appear on any search engines. So we're on the DL for now.

If everyone takes the five minutes to set up a blogger account, and becocmes a follower of this page, we can set it so that only the followers can access this page and it won't be open to the public for browsing.

Our other course of action would be to make trustin4life@gmail.com the only account that can view the web page. That would require minimal participation from everyone, and we'd all just have to use that log in whenever we wanted to look at it.

OR we could just leave it like it is now.

Let me know how everyone feels about this in the comments.

Spring?

I'll start by saying rules are meant to be broken. F-IT I'M DOUBLE POSTING

you know those tunes that totally remind you of spring time? Be it the album release, or just the vibe of the song, but I have a few that get played at eardrum bursting volume on those first few warm days. it gets me all excited to wear shorts and flip flops, BBQ, put sunscreen on, see girls in sundresses and skirts, and everything else wonderful about spring time.

for some strange reason this Roots song got me thinking about this notion.

Whats even stranger, is as I write this its 38 degrees out inda Poconos. but I digress.

here's my list (there are a lot more, and i'd like you to tell me your spring tunes in the comments Wink Wink)

1. Goodnight Rose- Ryan Adams- Easy Tiger (Memories of cranking this in Kardon May 2007)

2. He's Gone- Grateful Dead- Europe '72 (had to throw a heady tune in there)

3. Originality- Thievery Corporation- Versions (reggae is the most obvious enjoyable spring tunes, and this one is really irie) i just wanted to say irie

4. Shake it Fast- Mystikal- Let's Get Ready-2000 ( TREME reminded me of this one, and JULES did it some serious justice on MAY DAY up here by playing it at max volume)

WARNING ENTERING DOUBLE POST TERRITORY

Phantasy Tour had two seriously awesome threads about the music of NOLA. I probably dl'ed like 565 albums. Kermit Ruffins, Trombone Shorty, Dr John, Lee Dorsey, Buckwheat Zydeco, Some compilations, and my favorite, PROFESSOR LONGHAIR
http://www.phantasytour.com/phish/boards_thread.cgi?threadID=2245414&page=1

During Paul McCartney's Wings Over America tour, Paul had a party on board the Queen Mary. He invited two bands - Professor Longhair and the Meters. That should tell you a little something about what music HE thought was good.

Here is Professor Longhair live on the Queen Mary. Seriously, get this and crank it.

Ratatat -- LP4

Aww shit, Pappy.

Sorry Guido I know we talked about this, but I'm going to violate the 5 songs rule straight off the bat. LP3 came out over a year ago and I still listen to it all the time. LP4 is here and the production value, dare I say, has only gotten better.

It's more of "that good shit" we have come to know and love from their previous album.

My official rating -- 3.75/5 stars

They're not exactly reinventing themselves here, but if you liked LP3 this will be a homerun for sure.

My top 4 tracks of the album in the order in which they appear are: Bilar, Mandy, Grape Juice city, Alps.
Here's the download link.

Boom.

It's a zipped file but you web savvy Philly cats can figure that out.

Keep your head low, keep moving, and conserve ammo out there.
I will see you on the beach.

Love,
Scott

3rd Post: The Answer

Happy Madre Day y'all. Before I start on this here third post of the blog, let me commend Guido (and I suppose Hoops and Fender, too) for their unprecedented follow-through on an idea hatched during a presumably soggy night. Now, onto business. You might be wondering what the numero three has to do with "The Answer." If you still are in the dark, watch this:

Also, in honor of Mr. Iverson, try to catch ESPN's 30 for 30 presentation No Crossover: The Trial of Allen Iverson.

Back to threes... Approximately three months ago this sunday, Gil Scott-Heron released his first official recording since 1995. Titled I'm New Here, the record plain BRINGS it. There's a Smog cover, Kanye's Flashing Lights is sampled (to excellent effect...), and Mr. Scott-Heron sounds focused, relevant, and desperate all at once. It's an urgent twenty-eight minutes of sit down, shut the fuck up, and listen.

I'll spare you any in-depth reviews of my own, and allow you to be the judge. Here are three glimpses into Mr. Scott-Heron's work: Small Talk at 125th and Lenox (RCA, 1970), Pieces of A Man (RCA, 1971), and I'm New Here (XL Recordings Ltd., 2010). And for those on the literary bent, seek out The Vulture and The Nigger Factory, Heron's 1970s novels. Hopefully these show you where a man was, and where he came to be. Stretch your head, listen, and go do something today.

http://www.mediafire.com/?mvmjnjdmm2o

Let us end with a request from the artist (found in the liner notes from I'm New Here):

There is a proper procedure for taking advantage of any investment.

Music, for example. Buying a CD is an investment.

To get the maximum you must

LISTEN TO IT FOR THE FIRST TIME UNDER OPTIMUM CONDITIONS.

Not in your car or on a portable player through a headset.

Take it home.

Get rid of all distractions, (even her or him).

Turn off your cell phone.

Turn off everything that rings or beeps or rattles or whistles.

Make yourself comfortable.

Play your CD.

LISTEN all the way through.

Think about what you got.

Think about who would appreciate this investment.

Decide if there is someone to share this with.

Turn it on again.

Enjoy Yourself.

Gil Scott-Heron

2nd Post: Track Twos

'Sup brothas and sistahs.

I've always had a fascination with track 2s. Of course, so much thought is put into the opening track of an album, of a mix, of a setlist, but perhaps track 2 is actually more important (lest we forget Rob Gordon's rule of making track 2 decidedly BETTER than track 1 when making a mixtape), plus they are often my favorite tracks on any album, or at least the songs that first "grab" me.

So with that in mind, and it feels appropriate because this is the second post of the blog (and props to Guido for characteristically killing it on post 1), I present five of my favorite track 2s. Enjoy.

1. Beulah-"Sunday Under Glass" (When Your Heartstrings Break; Sugar Free; 1999)

2. Charles Earland-"The Mighty Burner" (Black Talk; Prestige; 1969)

3. The Feelies-"Fa C-La" (Crazy Rhythms; Stiff; 1980)

4. Saint Etienne-"Railway Jam" (So Tough; Heavenly; 1993)

5. The Radio Dept.-"Heaven's on Fire" (Clinging to a Scheme; Labrador; 2010)
