Phish Signs Where They Don't Belong

Unfortunately no Fluffhead sign sighting at the Royal Wedding today....but always funny to see the successful attempts. The guy in the video really puts in a lot of effort to make sure his massive sign is seen. Only Phish fans...

Happy Friday

Roger Waters - The Wall

Got to catch this tour at MSG in October and it was incredible. Insane visuals and a surround sound system that was the best I've ever heard. He just released a few good pictures but I can't wait for the DVD post-tour. They're filming the London O2 shows which basically guarantees the Gilmour appearance, so that will be an added bonus.

MSG on NYE...enough said

Phinal Phour Results

YEM beating Hood, I can live with that. Ghost beating out Fluffhead, Down With Disease and Tweezer? Strongly disagree. Ghost is sick but no where near the level of those other three.

Phish: Live in Utica CD/DVD Box Set

I cannot wait to get this DVD. This would have been one hell of a show to be at...prob my favorite Bowie, Vultures is a treat and Drowned > Sand to open Set II is nasty. It's also a little known fact that Utica Memorial Auditorium is the room that MSG was modeled after. Safe to say that if they ever play here again, it will probably be a mandatory trip.

Phish - 10/20/2010 - Utica Memorial Auditorium, Utica, NY

Set I

My Soul
Stealing Time From The Faulty Plan
Vultures
Wolfman's Brother >
Cities >
Guyute
David Bowie
Wilson >
McGrupp And The Watchful Hosemasters >
Saw It Again >
Run Like An Antelope

Set II

Drowned >
Sand >
Theme From The Bottom >
Axilla >

Sovereign Defaults: Inevitable and now Impending

Great article by The Economist

Street Art

Recently Powell introduced me to the underground and extremely interesting world of street art. I watched Exit Through The Gift Shop and enjoyed it, although I definitely want to see more about the actual artists and their work. Now that I'm somewhat familiar with this art form I'm going to be on the lookout for examples in and around NYC (the Mario below is apparently in Manhattan). This is a far cry from the repetitive spray paint you see everywhere...a few that caught my eye with a link to more below:
