After spending months in South America and the U.K., Animal Collective is returning to the U.S. for a total of three shows, Jan. 20-23, to celebrate its new album, named after, of all things, an amphitheatre. The noise rock band with the constantly shuffling lineup is releasing in January its ninth studio album, Merriweather Post […]

If you were like me, one of the first thoughts you had during President-elect Barack Obama’s speech to the masses at Chicago’s Grant Park on Tuesday night was how cool it was that he was acknowledging his victory at the home of Lollapalooza. It turns out C3 Productions, the same folks who produce Lollapalooza, staged […]

Earlier this week, people around the country came out in record numbers to elect Barack Obama the 44th President Of The United States in a landslide. While the President-elect doesn’t get sworn in until January 20 of next year that won’t stop us from celebrating the victory around here. So with that in mind, this […]

We’re just about to hit the one year mark from the first time the words “Felice Brothers” appeared on this rag. Since that time nearly every member of our staff has fallen in love with the rustic charm that exudes from the music of the three Felice bros and their friends Farley and Christmas. The […]

Soulstress Sharon Jones and the Dap-Kings bring a taste of the soul drenched Daptone sound to Austin City Limits this weekend. The reigning Queen of Soul throws down Mean Man and Fish in the Dish among others before making way for Austin native Carolyn Wonderland to close out the episode.

The Baseball Project, made up of Steve Wynn (Dream Syndicate/Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3), Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows/Minus 5), Linda Pitmon (Steve Wynn & the Miracle 3) and Peter Buck (REM), is not simply a group of accomplished musicians who happen to like baseball, but rather a group as well-versed in baseball's deep human history as they are in America's musical tradition. This thoroughly American collection of songs about baseball, like the sport itself, is about so much more, because the band sees beyond the superficial.

As we prepare for a 2009 that certain to be filled with popular rock band Phish returning to old haunts and new venues, it’s time to start thinking about what songs the band will play at these shows. Our friends at Phish Thoughts recently went over what post-Breakup Trey originals should make the cut, which in all honesty was a little depressing.

Everyone loves a good cover, so today we’re going to look at ten bands that Phish has never covered and select a song we’d like to see them perform.

10. The Eagles

Sure Henley and Frey wrote some wusstastic slop, but let’s not forget the rock edge Joe Walsh lent to this band in the late ’70s. We’d love to see Phish cover The Long Run, with its lyrics about moving on from bad influences, on the Hampton run.
