OnAir – Episode 5: NYE & Skyscrapers

Taking a couple weeks after NYE, Padraic, Poster Nutbag and I discussed the NYE run after the dust had finally settled. More specifically, we mostly discussed Poster’s controversial article, On Architecture, Phish, and the 2011 New Years Run. We tackled what his article really meant and then verbally tackled some of the haters that commented on it–you know, the ones that tell us that we suck at Phish and should just be thankful they play anything for us. One of the comments directed towards us was by none other than the infamous David Steinberg who certainly isn’t shy around these parts.

On top of discussing the true meaning of the article and a recap of our three favorite moments of the run, we all bring up some of the most embarrassing moments we’ve had in the current era of trying to call songs out at shows and epically failing.

OnAir – Episode 4: Mike’s Song & NYE

I sit down with Bob from Barefoot Designs to discuss Eli’s article (and comments related), Is Mike’s Song Trapped In Time? We both thinks the upcoming NYE festivities at MSG would be a perfect place to bust out the first MONSTER Mike’s Song of this era.

Dinner and a Movie – Episode 2

By now you’ve likely listened to the Hampton box set so many times that your interior monologue has a permanent cosmic funk groove behind it.  Of course you’ve heard Hampton Halley’s plenty of times already, but have you heard it on weed?  Weed, of course, standing for “Wicked Excellent Educational Discourse”, which is exactly what we provide here at Dinner and a Movie.  We also have a lame intro bit (which, if you are a newb, you will should read this to understand), terrible puns and stunningly awkward jokes from Adam.   Oh, and apparently I don’t even know my whale calls from my digital delay loops.  Flame on fanners.

OnAir – Episode 3: Trey’s Tour & Phish ’12

For the third episode of OnAir Phish Tour, Zim and I sit down with Pete from PhanArt to discuss Trey’s recent announcement of a symphony tour across the country. After Pete and I debated our thoughts on Trey’s upcoming tour on twitter, I invited him to talk about it in a forum that allows more than 140 characters per point–OnAir Phish Tour’s podcast.

Dinner and a Movie – Episode 1

Here at OPT, we are focused on one thing and one thing only: world domination.  We hope to accomplish this goal by using subliminal messages to turn our loyal readers into brain dead zombie-soldiers.  While we have had mixed results with our articles, our new podcast “OnAir Phish Tour” has proved to be a massive success, delivering our hypnotic and brain-deadening voices directly into your earhole.  Now, in an effort to build off that success, we are looking to conquer your eye-holes as well.

Introducing Dinner and a Movie, a new video podcast where myself, Adam and Guy sit down to dissect a new Phish video clip each week. Think of it as DVD commentary, except instead of some boring movie “director” talking about his “vision” (whatever those words mean) you have three certified experts (certification valid only in Vermont and upstate New York) talking about the types of faces Trey makes when he Trey-gasms all down his Trey-knees.   There may also be some very serious music discussing going on as well, depending on how sober Adam needs to be to operate his microphone (answer: zero sober).

For this week we decided to kick it off with something on the shorter, though still interesting side, with the 6/4/2011 Possum from Cuyahoga Falls.  This turned out to be a terrible decision, as we all wanted to say way too much and ended up talking over each other like some lost Marx Brothers routine.  We promise to be better in the future, at which point you will all be our slaves anyway so it won’t matter much.  Enjoy!
