Go out and buy a pair of solid, inexpensive, reusable earplugs. I suffer from tinnitus - hence the delay of nearly two years between the last edition of FTTS and the words you read today. It does more than get in the way of enjoying music; tinnitus interferes with sleep, understanding of general conversation, and general mental/emotional irritation because of constant ringing. Earplugs today are pretty good, and the better ones don t muffle sound but rather act as a general volume knob on the world thanks to hearing research. Three short hours of joy at a Phish show sans earplugs is not worth the resulting lifetime of pain. I am lucky that my tinnitus happens to be treatable - but this is a rare exception to the rule, and it s still an expensive and slow recovery process.Today, we journey deep into the heart of my favorite tour: Summer 99. In my opinion, no other tour in the Phish catalog has peaks this high. There is a signature goopy, washy, swirly haze that just hangs thick in the air over these jams. The grooves are tight with a spunky snap to the snare; the feedback is ferocious; the synthesizers (both Page s Prophet and Trey s AN1x) are warped tidal pools of glory; and Mike s bass roars and rattles. Jams have both quiet, patient ambience and intense skull-pounding intensity. And big jams are sprinkled everywhere throughout first and second sets. Read more...

Stay safe! Read more... Well, here we are, just over eight months into the hellscape that is America in 2020. Nearly every aspect of life has been changed for the worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. The simple act of going out in public requires us to wear a mask (those of us who give a shit about other people, anyway). Social circles have often shrunk to immediate family and maybe the closest of friends. Many people are unable to visit parents and grandparents in nursing homes or who otherwise fall into high-risk groups for the virus. Millions more have lost their jobs and face financial uncertainty and the very real health risks, both physical and mental, associated with long-term unemployment. And that s to say nothing of the nearly 200,000 Americans and 900,000 people worldwide, who have succumbed to the disease and countless others experiencing long-term side effects.So in the grand scheme of things, being unable to go see live music is a pretty small sacrifice. And yet, for those of us who love live music, there is a void. Presumably for anyone reading this, the lack of Phish shows is a big part of that. It impacts everyone differently. Some fans were probably hit hardest when Phish officially postponed summer tour to (we hope) 2021. Others may have felt it most back in July when tour was scheduled to kick off in Eugene, OR. For me, the realization this week that I wouldn t be getting on a flight to Colorado was that moment. Sure, I had known for months that Dick s wouldn t be happening this year. I just hadn t counted on how much of a part of my year Dick s had become. In addition to being Phish 3.0 s annual festival hiding in plain sight, it had earned its own spot on the calendar. August, Dick s, September. Indeed, most years we managed to cram a month s worth of memories and good times into those three days. Will summer even turn to fall without Dick s? I guess we ll find out. Read more... As the COVID-19 public health emergency began to develop, The Mockingbird Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving access to music education, began fundraising efforts to grant money to programs that were actively developing strong responses to challenges presented by the pandemic. In the past, the Foundation had issued Emergency Response Grants on a regional basiMockingbird announced the COVID-19 Relief fundraising effort at the end of May. We allocated $25,000 of existing funds to launch this effort, while asking the Phish fan community to donate $25,000, which we pledged to match, totaling $75,000. Not only did the community help us reach the goal within only two months, their collective donations were double that goal! We are thus able to fund $100,000 in grants for this round of emergency giving. We cannot thank all of our donors enough for your amazing support of music education!Hundreds of individual donations were made through our fundraising channels over the summer. Many of the donations were exceptional and substantial, and there were sizable donations not only from new donors but from long-time donors as well. Among the donations, sadly, were numerous tributes to family members and friends lost to COVID-19, dramatizing its impact on our community and the communities of many other music fans nationwide.Our community s spectacular fundraising response inspired us to promptly identify needy programs that were facing new challenges arising from the pandemic. We developed different criteria to review previous applicants and grantees, and also examined inquiries submitted for our 25th Round of annual giving within approximately the last year, the application period for which concluded on August 1st. In addition, we researched outside our customary channels for organizations that were creatively providing - or seeking funds to try to provide - musical education to students in this time of unprecedented challenges.Mockingbird announced our first COVID-19 Relief Response grant to Girls Rock Detroit on June 25th, one month after launching the campaign. The $5,000 grant helped their summer camp to continue virtually after they lost the ability to host in-person fundraising events. One week later, we announced that Heartbeat Music Project in Crown Point, New Mexico, would receive $5,000 to support their music education program for Navajo (Din ) children living in the Navajo Nation, which suffered COVID-19 related illnesses and deaths disproportionately to other regions. [Thank you @Choda for sharing your thoughts on Dick s, as we head into this special three-day holiday weekend of Dinner and a Movie Dick s webcasts. If you watch any of them please consider donating to Phish s charitable arm, The WaterWheel Foundation, as all funds donated to WaterWheel this weekend will benefit The Mockingbird Foundation, whose volunteers run dot net. -Ed.]If the Great and Knowledgable Icculus took me from the Earth on this day of our Gamehendge, September 4th 2020, I would stand before him in my Birthday Suit (for being naked in front of a powerful deity is a requirement if y all didn t know) and be judged for my life as a faithful Phish fan (and trust me, I saw 28 shows in 2.0). Icculus would peruse his iPad Pro and check out my stats:The Great and Knowledgeable (GK) Icculus: Ah Mr. Choda, I see you saw the final Faht performed live? Choda: Yes Icculus! I almost died driving back to Ithaca that night but totally worth it. GK Icculus: It says here you saw the longest single Phish jam of all-time? Choda: Yes, my sweet Icculus! It was a glorious night in Worcester 97! Then, Icculus would pause briefly, and look up from the screen, stunned:Icculus: OH MY!! You attended every show at Dick s? Choda: Mighty Icculus, all I can say is: I LOVE DICKSl!! (Just ask [phish.net username withheld]) Read more...

Some programs will struggle to survive on their own; meanwhile, all are adjusting to new circumstances that few were completely prepared to face. We asked several of our past grant recipients to share details about their current and expected future financial needs as they adapt in response to the pandemic. Here are a few of their responses: A grant from The Mockingbird Foundation would help put instruments in children s hands to facilitate virtual learning from home. It would allow me to buy an online, interactive music curriculum for my students to use. To help cover the cost of our program instructors because we have seen a huge loss in future funding and current donors. Funding will help us to provide financial aid to students whose families can no longer afford our program fees. Truthfully, my department is so underfunded and lacking in resources that any amount of money would be greatly beneficial for my students. Thanks so much for supporting music education for children!
