Totally cool. I find it's only through interacting with - and reading the interactions of others who know what's up - that I change my mind.

Which is what I find most interesting.

That's why I started coming here, actually. My friends who I did shows with either can't, or (drag) lost interest during all the 3.0 nonsense. It's kind of boring to have these discussions with myself.

So it's cool, I hit shows with some other friends; but it's the same set I go see Desaparecidos or NMH with.

They just don't have Phish running through them.

It was weird; I'm a writer (I know: I should edit more here, but I'm too busy), yet I have no social media presence. This summer was it. So I'd write something, thinking I was just making an observation, or trying to get a reaction - in a positive way - and I'd get all these:

'I don't know what show you heard....' arrows. Total vehemence.

Which is cool; I guess.

Anyways....

I do have that Bait Board.... Obviously, it's because it's older: but anyone even relatively new is so spoiled. The .com shows sound freaking amazing. It's hard for me to listen to anything short of that quality.

Talk about a Western Dilemma. (I'm more Calvin or Rousseau?; I know nothing about shifting pitches, other than funny metaphors, like whales and such....)

But still. Maybe it was just my expectations.... But I contrast that sound with the Disease, which I've just put on again. And then Trey had such a different tone then, too.... Actually, that's why a lot of people I know left. They don't like the Ocelot.... For lack of a better way of explaining it.

I think they're crazy. Since they figured it out (sort of like those Dick's shows you were talking about, was it 11?) I just love the sound.

And it keeps getting warmer....
