Summer is definitely wrapping up here at LMB and we’ve got a lot of stuff to get posted! We’ve all seen a tremendous amount of music! And there’s plenty more to come! Yay!
Okay, so maybe this past week was a little slow around here. Sigh.
But, “Justin,” you say, “Phish did reunite for three songs at their friends’ wedding. That’s pretty gnarly, brosef.” And I completely agree with you. I know they’ve been throwing the rumors around for a while and they just have to know that this is turning their fans crazy. Crazier. Again. I really think we’re going to keep feeling this buildup until they actual announce a tour, which supposedly will be sometime during 2009. I can’t wait.
Trust me when I say that we’ve got a bunch of cool stuff to get posted. Also, we’ve got something good planned for this week’s Phish Friday so make sure you stop by for that later in the week. For now here’s our headlines from last week:
