Carrie’s Phish Experiment Continues

We’re on day two of the Carrie Brownstein/Monitor Mix Phish experiment in which the Queen blogger and former guitarist/vocalist for Sleater-Kinney tries to see why people flock to see the Vermont-based quartet. In her latest post, Brownstein heads to her local record store to trade some used CDs for Phish CDs. Let’s take a look at how it went down…

It will be very interesting to see how this ends. Will Carrie hate Phish’s music and tell all of those who hate the band without hearing their music that they aren’t missing anything or will Carrie fall in love and join the band for an epic Rock and Roll at The Gorge? Stay tuned to Monitor Mix for the latest.

  1. I am addicted!! I’m not the first to say – following Carrie every day beats watching that damn map!

  2. “following Carrie every day beats watching that damn map!”
    Fuck yeah.

    from Carrie:

    Tomorrow night–Wednesday, July 15th–Portland Phish fans, along with Portland non-Phish fans who want to see if they could ever love Phish, will meet at 8 p.m. at Moon and Sixpence. (2014 NE 42nd Ave. between Tillamook and Sandy)
    If you are a Phish fan, please bring along some burned CDs of your favorite live shows or a mix CD with your most cherished tracks. I’ve had countless suggestions as to which YouTube links I should click or which shows I should download, but this meet-up will help both expedite and streamline the process. After all, I only have this one week to fall in love (okay, not really, but for the sake of the blog, yes!).
    Thank you and hope to see you there.

  3. I recall reading somewhere that she grew up on bands like Zeppelin, the Who, and Pink Floyd, so it seems like a lock.

  4. I just made her two CDs.

    I just made her two CDs. Here are the track listings:

    Disc 1
    Tube 12-29-97
    Stash 7-8-94
    Free 6-17-04
    Mike’s Song 12-31-95
    Run Like An Antelope 4-3-98

    Disc 2
    It’s Ice 8-17-96
    Reba 2-20-03
    Split Open And Melt 12-31-93
    You Enjoy Myself 11-17-97
    Slave To The Traffic Light 12-7-97

  5. I understand her dilemma. I’ve gone through 35 years of my life without listening to Sleater Kinney.
