Howdy,
  Just a few random babblings from someone with some extra time. First my
favorite quotes. Unfortunately it was a tie in both cases.
                   SONG QUOTE(S):
"... if your dog or cat ever dies, I'll buy you a ewe!"
                      or
the entire Clod part of Fluff's Travels
                   BAND QUOTE(S):
"I feel like suckin'" -Henrietta- 3/13/92
                      or
"Henrietta, the man who only sings songs by the two greatest song writers of
our times, ladies and gentlemen. Syd Barrett and Neil Diamond!" -Trey-
3/14/92

Okay, that was fun. Now for the Non-Phish portion of this post. A little God
Street Wine anecdote for your enjoyment (I hope). My friend's friend is
somehow involved w/GSW, manager I think (In fact, Hey Jordan don't you do
this net thing. If so, I'm Justin Faerber's friend Justin. Drop me a line)
Anyway, the band was originally called Got's to Rewind. One of the members
was at a party telling some girl about his band. She was so drunk that she
mispronounced it God Street Wine. They liked the new name and kept it.

NEXT SUBJECT: Phish vs. Dead

Someone mention that this was like beating a Dead horse. Well, since I'm
into S&M, beastiality, and also just happen to be a necrophiliac, this
sounds like a good idea to me :-) Anyway, IMHO The Dead have become feable
old men, however, I could not live without Two From The Vaults. They just
can't play like that anymore (just for the record: Yes, I am an 18 year old
reminicing about the `good old days' of the Dead) Oops, I mentioned my age.
Am I going to be considered worthless now? Anyway, I wouldn't find it a
surprise that anyone would choose a Phish show over a Dead show now, but I
do find it impressive that, IMHO, Phish is a better band in respect to how
long they've been around (as in, compare the Dead at 8yrs. to Phish at
8yrs.) I can only hope that in 20 years Phish will not have fallen into a
rut like the Dead have, but instead are still being creative, like Zappa.
(Check out Zappa's Make A Jazz Noise Here!)

NEXT SUBJECT: Song imagery

Anyone ever notice that Maze is a maze? At the end it feels like you're
trapped. The music builds up and is about to release (oo, that's a tad bit
sexual) but then it goes back to that repeating rythm. Cool.

NEXT SUBJECT: PhishNet helping with song i.d.

Yes, this has happened to me too. When a first got an unlabelled copy of
Junta from a friend I was able to name many of the songs because of posted
setlists. Also at my first two shows I was able to identify several songs.

NEXT SUBJECT: comparison to They Might Be Giants

Hey, dre, this one's for you.(or to anyone else who might have seen tmbg
live) In concert, during the middle of Istanbul (Not Constantinople) They do
this weird thing that is VERY similar to the vocal jam after YEM. They are
also an extemely tight, kick-ass live band. Good news to anyone who saw them
on the Apollo 18 tour. They will be keeping the touring band members as
permanent members. TMBG is no longer just John & John!

NEXT SUBJECT: NYE net gathering

Any ideas? I want to meet you guys.

NEXT SUBJECT: ........................THE END......................

Sorry about the length. These were just some things I've been meaning to
post but hadn't gotten around to.
