Finished the first 3 shows. Definitely the best playing of the year so far. KC Hot Love and MKE Wysteria are ridiculous. Trevor is standing out more than ever. Rick has been pushing it on the jazz practice. So pumped to catch the last 3 shows of this tour.

Nothing is won until these elected officials are in office and a branch of government has truly flipped. Long road ahead to remove a group of fascists that only care about power, risk imprisonment without it, and control a loyalist military.
Deleted my JOTY ranking at the end of tour. Listened to everything I had earmarked again chronologically. This is where we stand.
I like Sturgill. The new album is good. I went to the Seattle show last Friday. While I don’t have anything negative to say, I truly don’t get the hype. I am more excited for the shows I am seeing this Friday (Big Thief) and next Friday (Mountain Grass Unit).
Working my way through Colorado listening. Heard all the Madh and Drip hype but Red Bird and Good2Be are at the same level, if not better. Those ladder two seem to be the vehicles of the year.
Malaria pill dreams are the best. I just woke up dreaming that I was on a sandbar surf spot in Costa Rica where someone had installed a giant pineapple shaped boulder that blasting 96 Phish. Everyone was huddled eating cream cheese bagels on the sandbar talking about the show.
Missing Red Rocks sucks but being on safari in the Serengoedde ain’t that bad.

Think I might go on Big Thief tour. Feels like song god Adrianne Lenker writes about 5 new songs a day. They might play more live songs than Gizz Goose and Phish this year.
Officially a victim of being booted from a show for smoking a joint at WAMU. Friends in other groups who were also kicked out said it felt like an ICE raid on the floor. @goose-band.bsky.social, Phish, and Jesus could announce a 12 hr set and I wouldn’t go back. The sound also sucked, as usual.
Starting tomorrow I am going to do the thing where I listen to every Phish original in alphabetical order.
Announcement: I'll be throwing a Seattle Goose show grill out at my house on 8/19 from 3:00-5:30pm. I live near the light rail which goes straight from my house to the venue WAMU. If you are a Goose stranger and want free burgers, dogs, veggies, beers before the show, send me a DM. Cheers.
On the Balogun ruling: Brendan Sorsby was deemed eligible by a judge to participate in college football. His team planned to play him. Other colleges, football fans, and Texas Tech students protested vehemently. I get Balogun isn't a Sorsby, but are you a Texas Tech? Don't be. #sitbalogun
Balogun reversal is pure corruption. I refuse to support it. No more World Cup for me.
POP is the perfect song for my 5 minute drive to the bar. And yes I only go to one bar, so POP is what it’s going to be.
I swear if I hear another bing bong in the middle of Dustin Hoffman I am never listening to that song again. Stop it.
I see both sides on the decision to continue the show last night, and I don’t fault Goose for it, but Cotter’s second set nuthuggers were not a class move.
@fantasygoose.bsky.social How are you going to count the () songs when they drop at MSG? Written/released setlist or actual?
Just dropped off a few things at work for my wife with POP blasting and she couldn’t contain a smile.
This is a sick 8 song album 1. Big Modern 2. Savenger (suite) 3. Good2Be 4. MEDIA 5. Torero 6. POP 7. SALT 8. Good Times // End Times (suite)
(wow) So many great things to say about this album. Goose is great. Love it.
People aren’t going want to hear this, but I think bands should consider not playing MSG. James Dolan is a huge piece of shit aligning himself to Trump and fucking over NYC people big time this week. The Knicks and Rangers can’t escape but bands can.
