The Great Project: Entry 3
Well, this is one of those albums I was talking about; the albums that will require explanations. Much to my own chagrin, I had a Jam Band phase. This is derived from my guilty pleasure… Dave Matthews Band. Say what you will about DMB, I like them and every time I connect with someone over DMB, I have a good conversation. But, this isn’t about DMB… it is about Phish.
Phish was one of the bands that I listened to in the peak of my Dave fan years, mostly high school. It peaked my senior year and the summer before I came to college and discovered the indie radio station. But I own a few Phish albums, and each one has one song I like.
Lawn Boy has “Bouncing Around the Room,” a poppy jam song. These are the only Phish songs I like… the very few that clock about three minuets and have a very pop feel. Otherwise, I just get bored now. I swear, while listening to this album today, I felt like I was living inside a Fraggle Rock episode. I’m fairly certain that they incorporated the theme song into one of the tracks on this disc. This music has no purpose in my life. Not now. I don’t identify with this sub-culture at all. I’m liberal and all… but I really can’t do hippies. There are some nice hippies… don’t get me wrong. But the whole scene… not for me.
So, the one track I like of this disc will be ripped and this thing will be tossed into the sell back box.
trust me, if you think my owning Phish is funny, just wait. I’ve got some surprising stuff in my CD box. Stuff I’ve been carting around a lot longer than this.
dude, Phish? What the phug!
I posted my top 10 of the year today, when am I gonna see yours?
