Yahoo! Inc. is rolling out a charged up search engine Monday in a bid to supplant its business partner, Google, as the most popular place to find things on the Internet. With the revisions, Yahoo believes its search engine will provide more useful information than Google’s and be simpler to use. The rebuilt version will combine Google’s index with Yahoo’s customized services spanning sports, driving directions and weather reports. Toppling Google won’t be easy. In just five years, Google has become synonymous with online searching. Yahoo played a vital role in Google’s rise. After encouraging Google to create its search engine, Yahoo raised the startup’s profile nearly three years ago by licensing Google’s software to run the searches on its popular online portal.

Volumes 17-20 in the ongoing live Phish CD series have been announced and will be released on May 20. These selections were made by bassist Mike Gordon, who after reviewing 20 years worth of personal journals dwindled his favorites down to four.
Live Phish 17 is from 7/15/98 at the Portland Meadows in Portland, OR with a filler disc that includes material from the 7/29/98 show at Riverport Ampitheatre in Maryland Heights, MO
Live Phish 18 is from 5/7/94 at the Bomb Factory in Dallas, TX. It’s commonly referred to as the “Tweezerfest,” due to the spontaneous segues in and out of “Tweezer” during the course of the entire second set. It was only a matter of time before this was released. The filler contains material from 11/22/94 at the Jesse Auditorium in Columbia, MO, a show at the end of their live bluegrass experiments with the Rev. Jeff Mosier.
Live Phish 19 is from 7/12/91 at the Colonial Theatre in Keene, NH. This show was part of the “horn tour” featuring the Giant Country Horns that included at the time: Dave Grippo, Russ Remmington and Carl Gearhard.
Live Phish 20 is from 12/29/94 at the Providence Civic Center in Providence, RI. This show of course featured the epic “David Bowie” that found it

Over the nearly three decades I’ve known Steve Kimock, I don’t think he’s ever really wanted to do anything other than play his guitar well. He has always preferred to – or, more accurately, had to – follow his muse, letting the chips fall where they may commercially.

The Jazz Mandolin Project has just released Jungle Tango, perhaps the band

In New Orleans, the Crescent City on the banks of the Mississippi River Delta, burgeons a marvelous place that rings with spontaneous energy, life and music that is truly “Naw’lins.” Most people heading down there later this month for the cultural odyssey known as Jazz Fest will most likely stumble across a fresh player in the live music scene, Performance Painter Frenchy.

Ohio based ekoostik hookah, have been playing their magical style of music since 1991. By relentless touring and a flair for the unexpected, they have come to represent more than just the music. Keyboardist/Vocalist Dave Katz reveals what make his band and festival, oh so special.

With humble origins in the bars of Vermont, hard earned recognition in the small theatres of Colorado, critical acclaim on the national touring circuit, a major player on the HORDE tour and ultimately sold out Red Rocks shows which featured an unknown opening act named the Dave Matthews Band; Sean Kelly and The Samples have had a long and colorful road the past 15 years.

Singer-songwriter Mason Jennings has made it his sole purpose in life to travel and perform his brand of folk-pop to the world. His latest release Century Spring is a ten-song collection that casts a warm aura of hope and contentment. After touring with Jack Johnson and just headlining his own club tour, Mason is ready to hit the big time.

I was in my Dagger Blackwater 12.5 kayak, a recreational boat designed for flat water and mild ocean. My companion was in his 17 foot sea kayak. He may have had the speed, but I had the maneuverability.

The freshly stoked fire threw off a stifling heat and the flames licked the walls with eerie red shadow.

Like a virgin, my man got me all liquored up at a local watering hole just after work so I would be primed for the event.

The Gorge is going to be Nos. 52 and 53. The more daunting statistic: this run will be my first Phish shows without my longtime touring companion and mentor now simply known as “the ex.”

Adrian walked back in the start of a spring rain like she’d set fires in Chicago and knew she was getting away with it – chin bent slightly toward the pendant that dangled from her neck, hands stiff at her side and leaving footprints on the wet concrete.
