With great sound and better playing, Phish's debut Junta is highly recommended whether you're starting to discover Phish or are backing up to the beginning. It may be a bit long-winded and unfocused, yet it establishes their dedication to musical exploration effectively -- not to mention the typical wild and woolly Phish humor spilling out all over the lengthy tracks. [A 2-CD Elektra reissue features six bonus tracks, including three recorded live in 1988 at Nectar's (the club that gave Phish their start with a regular gig). The live tracks are somewhat dubious in sonic terms, but they're excellent for revealing the improvisational side of the band -- the 25:31 "Union Federal" totters to a start and has a couple of wobbly moments, but it's actually fun to listen to.]
Phish returned last night. And in a BIG way. I wasn't there so I'm not going to write too much about the show or the music.

Which I have done and I've started listening to the first set - which, btw clocked in ...

So, somebody tell me why in the heck Phish had to make YEM really weird by adding (apparently) nonsensical words to a really cool song. And if the lyrics aren't nonsensical, then what the heck is he saying?And thanks for the encouragement in my studies, as it were. This place rocks (literally and figuratively) :)-prog

After Phish split in 2004 frontman Trey Anastasio spit some angry words that made hippies across the nation cry...something about not wanting to play the same 25 minute jams over and over again. Recently Mr. Anastasio went back on his words in a little chat with Rolling Stone:“When Phish broke up, I made some comment about how I’m not gonna go around playing ‘You Enjoy Myself’ for the rest

On the topic of foot fetishes, the thing that comes to mind, this being a night of Phish's reunion, are the lyrics to the Junta classic "You Enjoy Myself." These lyrics have long been discussed and debated by Phisheads. Some believe the band are saying "Wash your feet then drive me into a frenzy" while others think its "wash uffitzi, drive me to Firenze," after a crazy experince in Italy they...

Deadman has me up and inspired this morning, but I have a family gathering to attend so I will have to suppress a certain urge to remain confined to my office with excuses of organizational duties trailing from a recent retreat from domestic attack and go visit with the out-of-towner relatives that have reappeared from their own retirement-style retreat of life on a houseboat floating between C...

In Trey Anastasio's May 21st interview with Rolling Stone, he states:“When Phish broke up, I made some comment about how I’m not gonna go around playing ‘You Enjoy Myself’ for the rest of my life,” Anastasio said with a laugh. “And it’s so funny because Fish and Mike and Page have been talking to each other a lot lately and now — it’s not that I can’t believe that I said that,
