Talk:Phish/Archive 6

message: I really enjoy Trey's oft-quoted line something along the lines of "Four white boys from Vermont can't play funk.  I guess you can call what we do 'cow funk'."  I'm trying to find a source or someone who can point me towards one so we can include it in the article.  It really sort of fleshes out Trey's character, you know?  We should leave it out for the time being, but I'll put it back in as soon as I have something. —  MusicMaker 21:45, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Cow funk" 

message: Found information on gold and platinum records as per MusicMakers link. I will be adding them into the Phish discography page as well as a mention in their individual album pages. I leave it to anyone elses decision if this information should be presented in this article somewhere, perhaps even coupled with the above Billboard 200 chart position information. Here is the results of the search (sorry for the formatting, I will try and fix later ... when I am not at work):--Moeron 18:28, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm kinda tired of looking at that red link, but I don't really know too much about them.  I saw them once in Philly and they rocked the house, so if any of the guys looking to "contribute" instead of "edit" wants to start on this page, go for it.

message: I think the numbers are all fubar.  I really need to get to work or I'd fix it, but I was going to remove the WaterWheel source.  (It's sourced on the WaterWheel page and, therefore, doesn't need to be cited in the main article.)  But I couldn't figure out which was which.  And, of course, I need to leave.  —  MusicMaker 19:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Just created a SerialPod page. Could we add it in the table under "Member's side projects"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Padgett22 (talk • contribs) 
:Because of the tendency of the template to get rather large (it's already larger than it should be), I thought we should probably limit the side projects to just the ones that were instituted between 83-04: when they were, in fact, "side" projects and not new projects altogether.  (Which means I should probably remove 70 Volt Parade.)  Anyone else have any thoughts on this?  I don't want to ignore these new projects --  I think they need a template of some sort -- I just don't want that thing to take on a life of its own.  (The template becomes sentient, begins terrorizing small towns, kidnaps a small girl -- oddly enough, named "Esther".  The villagers band together to take on the template, donning torches and spears.  Bedlam.  All because of SerialPod.  Trey addresses a mourning nation, tracked by itself on all bootlegs as "Trey Speaks"....)  —  MusicMaker 21:39, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It might be in the best interest just to nix the "Side Projects" section from the template. My reasoning is that only things that relate back to Phish the band should be dealt with ... a sort-of "one degree of seperation". The side projects would, therefore, be considered "two degrees of seperation" from the band. Side projects or other projects (such as Mike's movies) should be just dealt with through links on their respective, individual band member pages. --MOE.RON talk | done | doing 22:18, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Using that reasoning, we should also get rid of Sharin' in the Groove and yet keep The Phish Companion.  As they are both issued by Mockingbird, I don't know if that makes any sense.  I'm not against removing the side projects section per se, maybe just as a blanket rule to keep them off of there....  —  MusicMaker 22:36, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If Sharin' in the Groove stays, we would need to also put the "Bluegrass tributes" to Phish as well in the template, so as not to show favoritism. Anyway, my vote is to leave the side projects and extrenuous stuff (ie. Mike's movies) off the template. --MOE.RON talk | done | doing 22:52, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Do we have articles for the tributes?  (Though I think we have three separate articles on The White Tape.  I'm going to look into it a little harder and probably set up some redirects.)  I don't think it would be favoritism to keep Sharin' up there as, coming from Mockingbird, it enjoys a slightly "more official" status than the others (whose titles are escaping me).  Anyway, I'm going to get rid of the side projects section later tonight.  —  MusicMaker 23:15, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
