Miner’s Picks: Summer 2010 – Leg I
6.27.2010 - Merriweather (Graham Lucas)
After several weeks of listening and analysis in the Phisht Thoughts sound labs, the time has come to unveil the latest installment of “Miner’s Picks” for the first leg of summer tour. Because first sets and second sets contained such divergent vibes over the month, I’ve split the picks into a highlight-reel setlist, containing Set I, Set II, and an Encore. Though it was hard at times, I limited myself to one version of each song, so there are no repeats throughout this seven-plus hour compilation. With only a week and a half to go before The Greek kicks off Leg Two, here’s an audio retrospective of Phish’s first month of 2010. Enjoy the selections!

@Fool
I 100% agree Memento>>>>>>>>Inception. I don’t think Inception was his best movie by any means. I did enjoy it though. Memento is a brilliant flick
no, that’s a “Film”
movies are actually fun and you don’t have to take em too serious
different strokes I guess
I think Beauty and the Beast was the first movie I saw in theatres
ew cloverfield, talk about no characters
see I thought Memento was overrated. good, clever movie inflated to greatness
characters are overrated
yeah agree BK.
btw, i liked inception, just not as much as everyone else. it’s very good for what it is
@C, i generally take cinema more seriously than most as it’s the path i’m trying to pursue
characters are the worst
@Fool
What do you think about David Lynch’s movies? I love his stuff personally (except Inland Empire – but maybe I just need to see it again)
ahhhh ok @f0ol
I’m kind of the opposite
Film overall is just not a medium that attracts me
there are plenty of movies I love and even a few Serious Films that have moved me but in general it’s just not my thing
however knowing you want to make art in that medium, I can understand your perspective a little better
(I do know what you mean about the dialogue without even having seen it – not sure I’ll agree about that particular movie or not, but that annoys me too)
love david lynch. for some reason painters almost always make great filmmakers
perhaps the last Serious Film I saw that I really liked was The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford
exactly the kind of film I usually hate: glacially slow in pacing, with lots of unspoken tension and meaningful glances
but I thought it was great for some reason
word C, do you mostly watch american films though?
i think my top 20 filmmakers might have 2 americans in it. robert altman would make it
i’m not sure anyone can watch this http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092337/ and not be moved, unless they have no pulse
@C : in “light” of your Light>Waves yearning, I thought of you today when I read about this new book. Seems interesting.
http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2010/07/review-the-wave-watchers-companion/
yeah that’s a good one C
AWESOME track from the jesse james soundtrack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3ZBuZnud_Y
Mul. Drive is probably one of my favorite movies ever
Time to hit the hay. Rollercoasters in the AM. Woot! More flags, More FUN!
have you seen blue velvet BK?
cuz you should
alright sleep time. peace guys
Yes I have @Fool. Honestly, that one was a bit overhyped for me. I didn’t enjoy it as much as his others – although Hopper’s performance was incredible.
Just opened up the computer to catch up (still early here), and first thing I read is
Toy Story 3 was dank as fuck.
Is there any way this isn’t the quote of the day? Awesome. Thanks Bingos.
hopper’s the man.
not as weird as lynch’s other stuff, but creepy as fuck
eraserhead is great too, and elephant man
straight story is his only one i didn’t like
and yeah love mulholland drive of course
though im pretty sure it makes no sense. was originally gonna be a new lynch tv series, but that fell through so he just made it all fit into one film
everytime i write about mulholland dr my comment gets modded
