In Episode 129 we answer a listener question: how many waves of Jamband are there, and what are they? We spend the majority of the episode exploring the history of Jambands and chatting through how we have seen the larger genre evolve over the last 50+ years. In addition we count down our ten favorite albums of 2024 so far. Up front we finally chat Phish at Sphere, plus catch up on Goose and Eggy through the first half of 2024.

Thanks as always for listening and supporting! We'll see you later this summer!

In Episode 128 we chat about Phish's 2024 Run at Moon Palace in Cancun, MX. Focusing on the 35min "Wave of Hope," we discuss how Phish is capable of playing a this level in their 41st year, the connections we hear to Rush's early-80's output, and what this might mean about the upcoming run at the Sphere in mid-April. In addition, we check in with Eggy and Goose to see how early-2024 is treating them, plus celebrate the 10th anniversary of The War on Drug's "Lost In The Dream." Finally we chat about the first quarter of 2024 for new albums. We recommend a bunch of music and share how our musical interests continue to evolve.

In Episode 127 we shine a light on Pitchfork dot com as the site undergoes a period of uncertainty following the announcement that it will be folded into GQ Magazine. A site that has long been a formative inspiration for us as listeners, as well as for this show, we chat about some of our favorite reviews from the site, our thoughts on its evolution over the last decade, and whether or not we think it should've spent more time covering Phish. We spend much of the episode discussing Pitchfork, but highlight some of our favorite Indie Rock flavored Phish jams as well, including the 11/18/96 "Simple," the 12/16/99 "Tweezer," 7/20/14 "Ghost," and the 4/21/23 "Blaze On."

Songs featured in this episode are:

• Animal Collective: "My Girls"
• McLusky: "Lightsaber Cocksucking Blues"
• Deerhunter: "Earthquake"
• The Dismemberment Plan: "A Life of Possibilities"
• Kamasi Washington: "Seven Prayers"
• The Horrors: "Primary Colours"

Thanks as always for listening and supporting! We'll see you in March!
