No real underlying theme in this week’s mixtape, but rather just a smattering of some jammy goodness. We’ll kick it off with a band that just dawned on me, probably

Recently, I took a foodie trip to Chicago with a couple of friends, one of whom was born and raised there. One of the things that the two non-Chicagoans on the trip requested was a legendary food place in Chicago that we may not have gone to if we had not been with a local. The place my friend selected was Johnnie’s Beef in Elmwood Park Illinois.

We each had a beef and sausage combo with hot and sweet peppers followed by a homemade lemon Italian Ice. The moistness of the beef, paired with the hot sausage and both hot & sweet peppers was just an explosion of flavor that I had not gotten from many dishes in a long time. This sandwich upon the first bite immediately vaulted itself into becoming one of my top 3 favorite sandwiches I crave and consider the best around. The other two in case you are curious are Tony Luke’s Cheesesteak with whiz, hot peppers, sautéed onions and The Millburn Deli‘s Monster Joe with Corned Beef, Pastrami and Swiss.

Garfunkel & Oates – F*ck You More Garfunkel & Oates: Worst Song Medley I Would Never (Have Sex With You)
John Fogerty took the stage for a DVD taping at LA’s Wiltern Theatre in 2005 to perform the best songs from his solo career and tenure leading Creedence Clearwater Revival.
I’ve been lucky enough to have seen most of the covers and originals in Phish’s repertoire, but I haven’t seen them all. And unless your name is Trey Anastasio or Mike Gordon, you haven’t caught every song either. Which raises the question: what songs do you most want to see the recently reunited quartet bust out this summer that you’ve never seen them play before?
I put together my list for this week’s B List…
10. All Things Reconsidered – I’d really like to sing along to this variation of the theme to NPR’s All Things Considered. ATR was last played on 2/23/1997 in Italy. Odds: 150 to 1
9. Glide Pt. 2 – There aren’t many originals that Phish only played one time, but a song that’s either called It’s Time, Glide Pt. 2 or Flip is one of them. Ever since they debuted this tender ditty at Lowell in 1995 I thought it would make the perfect breather between Mike’s and Weekpaug. Odds: 1,000 to 1
8. Walfredo – For the quartet’s European tour in February 1997 they learned two songs on which each band member played a different instrument than they usually play. Walfredo was one of them and Rock-0-William was the other. Rock-O-William was dead on arrival but the band did bust Walfredo out in Las Vegas as the opener to their second show at the Thomas and Mack in September 2000 giving us hope that it will rise again unlike the south. Odds: 350 to 1
