Also DJ Brownie had a really sick premier of a new track. Don’t know the song but I really enjoyed it. The lyrics throughout were “Dance Floor Be Your Stage,” Maybe that’s the name? Don’t know but it’s a good trance / house track for sure
Dude that sucks … they shut it down (literally and figuratively). In all seriousness though, I’m sorry you had to experience Curveball 2.0. Total gut punch.
Nice Post. Very thoughtful, especially the part about the soothing sensation of self-urination. I think that might be the title of a Michael McDonald Song as well.
Chubes — the only conclusion i can reach is if you own a grounds somewhere in the middle of nowhere that has cool neighbors, you’ve worked out permitting and insurance and greased the proper palms – you’ll make a killing – given what I can only assume is sketchy operations of other competing grounds and the clear need for reliable venues for these exceptional artists
The show was sick. Working on a review. To say I’m an Eggy Noob is an overstatement. It was the first time I saw them and I was impressed. I’ve listed to them some but for a band like that you have to see them live first to really start to appreciate the music.
How do I get this going? I’m starting to feel like I have a good read on the Philly jam scene but it is mostly Jam.
I also just posted a review on Night 1 Phish Spring Tour in Seattle (Friday Night). It’s not on the main blog or anything but at least it’s something. Link below.
Damn – this was a good one. i’d like to hear more about the interactions with the “industry folks,” what feedback was given other than “go viral” (I mean, i fully recognize that could be it), more of Jay’s impressions of how that “industry” tiks (and toks). I guess it could be as simple as – I had their numbers, we talked a few times, they never went anywhere with it. Kinda like how life works with someone who sorta seems like they want to date, but then not really. Nothing like a dramatic hollywood ending – just a slow fizz out, left with disappointment? What do “big” record labels even do today? With streaming – is there any oxygen for a label to become “major”? Seems just like copyright trolling mostly is what the big labels do now. I guess this is why TS just releases many different presses of a similar vinyl. What the “music scene” is makes sense intrinsically: bars, clubs, IG follows to see your favs when they come into town. Music is the answer but damn it’s tough for someone like Jay who is totally gifted, writes ear worms, but doesn’t fit into some pre-determined pop mold. Just such a shame how hard it is to make a living on the arts even for someone like Jay. Wow. Other than the tropes of “go to shows, buy t-shirts” what else can the average music fan do to support their favorite artists?
I’m in – I have an extra GA Parking pass (needed to reserve a campsite) bc my crew bought too many – if anyone needs it I’ll ship it for free and you will save some money. With an extra 20 bucks you can get in a day early with the car camping and get in on the speculation of whether the sound check will be open to the public. Wristbands are also required to get in unless you hide your friend in the bed of your truck and they aren’t searching for trunk wooks
