It's inspiring mixed feelings but getting all 5 star reviews on Amazon...

5.0 out of 5 stars Better off w/ a Roll of Charmin, December 16, 2011

By 

General Urko - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. Miner's Phish Thoughts: An Anthology By a Fan for the Fans (Hardcover)

The anticipation of a new Phish book had my heart fluttering like a feather floating on an omni-directional cosmic vibration that would have made the Aztecs proud. Just knowing that the next "Catcher In the Rye" was being confined by the barbarian mailing packaging, I tore it out in an almost manic state, feeling like King Arthur & the book being Excalibur. After four pages, I came to the realization that I would have better off buying $75.00 in toilet paper.

5.0 out of 5 stars A phabulous phish phan!, December 22, 2011

By 

Col Forbin - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mr. Miner's Phish Thoughts: An Anthology By a Fan for the Fans (Hardcover)

What would us phans do without Mr. Miner? How would we know what adjectives, or how many adjectives to string together in a given paragraph to describe the bass-led jihad of one Michael Gordon? Thankfully, we have Mr. Miner to not only string said adjectives together, but to also fluff every single show in 3.0, leaving us with little need to listen to any other music besides Phish, and well, the indie-tronic geniuses TV On The Radio...Ever wonder what you'd do if the internet crashed and you were prevented from your Phish Thoughts reviews after each show? Well, for the LOW price of $75 you can have all those reviews, that, while conveniently stored on the internet, are obviously better suited in a massive hardcover book that only costs $75, in your hands, or on your coffee table as one gigantic coaster. Thank you Mr. Miner. Really, thank you for releasing an overpriced copy of your blog without considering once your customer base. Well done.

PHISH: Zero Arrests @ Essex Benefit

Police say the Phish crowd was 'so pleasant to deal with'- article by Sally Pollack, Free Press Staff

"The weather was fine, the crowd was pleasant. The traffic didn’t jam, the band did.

The flood recovery benefit concert performed by Phish on Wednesday night at the Essex Junction Expo was a smooth-running affair, according to police.

“It ran extremely well,” said Brad LaRose, acting chief of the Essex Police Department. “I was very pleased and very appreciative for the cooperation of the crowd. They were very pleasant to deal with. I’ve been in the business for 33 years, and I can’t ever remember dealing with a crowd of that size that was so pleasant to deal with.”

The police made no arrests at Phish’s first Vermont concert in seven years, according to LaRose. Five people — of an estimated crowd of 13,000 — were taken into protective custody because of excessive alcohol or drug use, LaRose said. An additional three people were released to someone who could take care of them, he said.

“We wanted to keep everybody safe,” LaRose said.

The concert venue capacity is 12,000, and the show sold out. But public officials chose to let people without tickets into the expo’s parking area, where they could listen to the show from a hillside, LaRose said.

“From a public safety standpoint, it was manageable,” LaRose said. “They were well behaved.”

The police confiscated 16 tanks of nitrous oxide, according to the department.

LaRose thought the show ran so well, and the crowd was so respectful, because everyone was aware of the purpose of the event: raising money to help Vermonters recover and rebuild from last month’s severe flooding.

Even with a bit of a backed-up traffic at rush hour, “these folks had roads to drive on,” LaRose said."

SWEET BLOG (Reprise) Lauren Ober Apology

Personally, I "got" "it", and I wasn't offended. Blogger issues apology for yesterday's blog:

"Blog Post Phail"
by Lauren Ober

On September 12, I wrote a blog post titled "Here For Phish? How About You Lend a Phreaking Hand?" In retrospect, I realize that it was ill-timed and ill-conceived. A number of readers felt the post impugned the good work already being done by flood volunteers, took for granted Phish's contribution to the relief efforts, and was offensive to a legion of music fans.

This was not my intent. I simply meant to draw attention to a need facing our state in the wake of a natural disaster and, at the same time, poke a little fun at the caricature of the Phish fan that has formed over the years. And, yes, I realize there is more than one kind of Phish fan.

I, like my fellow Vermonters, appreciate the work that is being done around the state to help get people back on their feet after Tropical Storm Irene. Phish is being incredibly generous by donating their time and talent. The money that is raised from their benefit show on September 14 will go a long way toward helping the state heal. I didn't intend to minimize their contribution, or those of concertgoers from in and out of state.

Judging from the negative reactions to the blog post, I clearly didn't achieve what I set out to with the piece: to entertain and inform. As some have already pointed out, this piece was a "phail." I acknowledge that, and I'm sorry.

Editors' note: Opinions expressed on our staff blog do not necessarily reflect the views of editors or staff at Seven Days. Many of us are longtime Phish fans, and all of us appreciate what the band, and its fans, are doing for our state.

Silly kidz make a big deal out of everything. Sorry, Lauren. Do something to help VT, huh, folks?

SWEET BLOG: "Volunteer, Phishheads" Flood Relief Opportunities If You Are Just Kickin' It In VT Until Essex

Got linked to this sweet blog today. I assume the comments are still blowing up. Peeps seem pretty sensitive. I'll leave it to others to editorialize about the tone of said blog, but here's an excerpt with some useful links that could use more exposure either way...

"Not sure what you can do? Phair enough. Here are some ideas:

— You could phill your camper van with personal hygiene products, phirst aid items, cleaning and school supplies and food and take it to South Royalton. For a full list of this community's needs, click here.

— How about taking down some walls and pulling up some flooring for the Kadrik family in Waterbury?

— Perhaps you could help muck out the Hancock Town Hall basement.

— Maybe you could help phix the phence at Turner Farm on Route 100 in the Mad River Valley.

There are many more projects that you could help with. Your best bet to phind volunteer opportunities is VTResponse. If you are willing and able, they will gladly set you up with something to do. Not able to swing a hammer, carry a bucket or throw things in a dumpster? Consider writing a check the American Red Cross of Vermont and the New Hampshire Valley, the United Way of Chittenden County, the Vermont Foodbank or any number of towns accepting financial donations. Remember to earmark your contribution for flood relief."

Phish keyboardist Page McConnell appeared LIVE on WCAX TV today to discuss details of the upcoming Vermont benefit concert at Essex Junction on September 14...



Phish to raise money for Vt flood victims - WCAX.COM Local Vermont News, Weather and Sports-

Essex Junction, Vermont - September 6, 2011

Phish will play a special show at the Champlain Valley fairgrounds in Essex Junction next Wednesday, Sept. 14. The concert will benefit Vermont flood recovery efforts.

Phish keyboardist Page McConnell appeared LIVE on the Channel 3 News at 6 p.m. to talk about the show.

"It's been devastating to see everything that's happened and we're just honored that there's something we can do hopefully to help out," he said.

McConnell said the band's manager called them last week and said we want to do this benefit. McConnell said of course, they all said yes. They've been working out the details ever since.

This will be the band's first concert in Vermont since 2004.

"We think this is a really nice way for us to come back and give back to the state that's given us so much," McConnell said.

General admission tickets will be $75. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the concert will begin at 7 p.m.

Proceeds from the concert and merchandise sales will be directed to The WaterWheel Foundation and The Vermont Community Foundation to aid in the recovery of the Green Mountain State.

"What we're hoping to do is give 100 percent of ticket money to the benefit, so it will benefit the people. These concerts are very expensive to put on, so we've been able to get vendors and people that are involved with it to do this either for a reduced price or for nothing. We're looking to have other people help underwrite it. Our manager, Coran Capshaw, manages a number of other bands; Dave Matthews said that he was going to contribute to it. So if we can get people to cover the expenses of putting on the concert, then we will be able to give 100 percent of it to the relief fund," McConnell explained.

Watch the video for much more with Page McConnell.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Irene, the Foundation worked with donors and other partners to facilitate donations for relief and recovery efforts, including the establishment of a fund to benefit Vermont farmers affected by the storm. Visit www.vermontcf.org or call 802-388-3355 for more information.

The show will be Phish's first in Vermont since 2004. Doors will open at 5:30 PM and the concert will begin at 7:00 PM.

Bring-down PSA kickdown via heyreverb:

Sidenote: A 27-year-old Georgia man was found dead in the Dick’s campsite Sunday morning, slumped in a chair. While police haven’t determined a cause of death, it’s very likely a drug overdose. Police combed the campsite all day Sunday searching for a name of the man or anyone who knew him. With Phish’s bandleader Trey Anastasio now a 12-stepper and vocal cheerleader for the national Drug Court system, it seems only a matter of time before he steps up to the mic to address the rampant and escalating drug abuse at his shows. Just like any concert, the drugs range from doobies to dangerous and I’ll bet the kid who died was dabbling in opiates, which seem to be making a resurgence on the Phish scene, with hairy, dazed dudes peddling Oxycontin pills in the parking lot. It’s a shame that such a tremendous stand was marred with a death, but hopefully it can jolt some awareness into the parking lot kids who so rabidly pursue ridiculous levels of inebriation. Hopefully, but not likely.
