After an extremely successful weekend that saw their favorite band reunite for three fantastic shows, the Phish fanbase returned home to find the media picking up on the same ol’ story – their drug use. While I didn’t see any arrests and hardly any shadiness, according to 7,656 stories on Google News there were 250 arrests at the shows this weekend and over $1.2 million seized. Has anyone else had every member of their family forward them an article about these arrests? That’s SO not was this weekend was about.
This afternoon, the folks at The Smoking Gun put up a gallery of mugshots from 25 of the phinest members of our community. This is why you don’t ever tell your co-workers you’re going to see Phish. The investigative team over at The Raw Story don’t believe the figure the cops came up with and have written a detailed report about the arrests. I’d bet we haven’t heard the last of this story.
Let’s take a look at some stories from the Glide News desk…
- Medeski Martin and Wood announce Camp MMW 2009
- Soulive Launches the Royal Family Records imprint
- The BMG Music Service To End In June
- All Tomorrows Parties Concert Film To Debut Soon
Finally, I’ve been selected as a judge for NoiseAddicts’ Worst Song In The World Remix Contest. Two Russian artists named Komar and Melamid paid to hire a market research firm to find out the American public’s likes and dislikes in art and came up with the world’s most annoying song. For the complete rules about how to enter your remix and a full list of prizes head over to NoiseAddicts. I’d love to see some HTers represent.
