@phish.net we would appreciate it if you would reach out to Joe Walsh about doing the dot-net recap tomorrow
I wonder what Joe Walsh thought of that Tweezer.
That was a pretty stellar set.
I’ll Venmo you $5 if you yell at them to schedule a show in socal
Shitty former congressman Joe Walsh
It would be funny if it turned out that it was actually this shitty former congressman Joe Walsh who was at the show, not the Joe Walsh from the Eagles
Me with a possum on my shoulder
Just met this guy and he’s calling a himself at tonight’s Phish show
An Instagram post from Adrian Belew includes a picture of a graying Frank Zappa and the following text: here's an anecdote I wrote in 2007. Closure. my last time seeing frank zappa face to face was just months before his death in December 1993. I went to the zappa abode for a short visit. he looked like the picture above, which was a shock. frank was obviously ill, his voice a whisper. instead of the vibrant frank I knew there was an older man. only 52 but seeming very weak and tired. in place of his usual habit of chain-drinking espresso he was sipping orange juice freshly squeezed by his maid. frank talked about his latest project. the conversation drifted off. I felt a tinge of guilt taking his time. soon he excused himself to rest for a while. our interlude was over. I prefer to remember a different ending. one night in late 1992 I woke up from a vivid dream. I looked at the clock. 6 AM. I couldn't get back to sleep. in my dream frank and I were laughing and talking, having a lively conversation about music and things. it felt good, like a friendship. since I couldn't sleep I went downstairs and sat in a chair, replaying the dream. there was no such thing as e-mail then, about the fastest delivery was by fax. so I decided to send a fax to frank. in my fax I told him about the dream. then I said I had never properly thanked him for all he had done for me and I wanted say "thanks". I had no idea at that time that frank was ill and dying. later that afternoon I got a call. it was frank. what a great surprise! he said to me, "that was sweet". that's the word he used: sweet. not a word you would normally associate with the acerbic edgy satirist. we proceeded then to have a wonderful conversation much like the one in my dream. and that's the way I remember frank.

To be fair, they were right about the time Kerry ordered a cheesesteak with Swiss cheese, that shit was crazy
That would be almost as cool as Jennifer Dances and it’s gravy ingredients

Excited to announce that @mbird.org has a new way to collect donations with zero fees!
We have a $6,000 grant planned for a school music program in need in Vegas if we can raise the funds. Who can help us make this tour grant for the Sphere run a reality?
Even a small donation helps! #phish
Gonna grip some DMM myself today. Check out his Bandcamp!

I could fill a whole ass book with the dumb Phish jokes I haven’t tweeted out because it felt inappropriate due to whatever somber or horrifying news was unfolding
I wrote about the two albums Medeski Martin & Wood released in 2000: the dazzling live acoustic trio record Tonic, just reissued on vinyl, and the haunted weirdness of The Dropper, the band's best studio album. A high water mark year for MMW!

Happy for you and for them. It was really fun watching them get to be at the center of the universe for a minute.
When you mentioned tacos around the corner from Lodge Room I was hoping you meant Villa’s!

It’s honestly a bit unfair to shit to compare it to Trump
Happy to hear you felt the same way. Felt like the crowd was feeling it in a very powerful way.
Anyway, if you’re in or near one of these places, literally run to see Taper’s Choice. Sprint for as much of the trip as you can.
