Taking this week’s “Jam of the Day” theme right through “Weekend Nuggets,” this installment is all about ‘Tweezers.” This Memphis show from Summer ’95 contains the “Mud Island Tweezer,” one of the most extended and iconic explorations of the song in their career. At a time when the band continued pushing boundaries of jam-length and abstraction, this “Tweezer” clocked in at over 50 minutes, but when listening, boredom never comes into play. One of the most famous versions taboot, if you haven’t heard this, clear an hour of your time, sit back, and relax. Phish dropped one for the record books on the banks of the Mississippi.

Type II Trivia Results: With little competition on day 2, “Rippin'” Ross Bellenoit ran away with this contest with a remarkable 26 out of 30 points! Identifying every track and only missing a couple specific dates – what I thought was most impressive is that he only missed one year out of ten. By blowing away the competition, Ross wins his choice of CD: Trey’s TAB at the Tabernacle or Mike’s Moss. Kudos, Ross! Jeff D. put in a a noble effort, nailing half the selections, while Brad P. rounded out the double-digit scorers with 11. The entire results and answers are below. (If your name is not listed, it is because you scored no points. Better luck next time.) Thanks for playing!

Part 2
ha, just checked back on the scoreboard page and see that new england is already inside the 10
Who Dat v Dirty Birds
should be a good game!
trying to get off work so i can watch it!
and there you have it
well, it’s been fun
back to the team that always wins
dwd>wtu
how’d they do that?
2 point conversion early by Lions?
fox sports has the score listed as 8-0 but seems strange to me.
ok. now it’s 7-7. Corrected.
I’m watching the worst game of the NFL season thus far 🙁
Halycon- Giants receivers are killing Eli again. The 1 int by the goal line was inexcusable. That being said, they can tie it up here after playing awful in the 1st half.
….and they just did!!!
This Pats vs. Bills matchup is pretty interesting.
It looks like the Bill’s Fitzgerald is gonna to optimize the chance to start.
3 Pumpkin ales down and 3 to go in this sixer.
The pats need a defense
Nfl Sunday ticket at my friends is sick though
Wow, masterful field-goal run w/ less then a minute on the clock by the Pats. however they should be crushing this team, esp at home.
trivia winner – littlerollingthunder – posted his first BB post on p.10
LRT FTW!!
Not sure why I play fantasy football. Every damn year I drive myself crazy with this shit.
Damn…that was vintage Pats right there on that classic Brady>Moss hookup.
What a throw Brady
Wow…and then Spiller runs it back 95 yards for his second TD of the day and of his NFL career.
Unreal.

*First time played
Pats Defense: They are who we were afraid they were.
My fantasy team sucks. Chris Johnson has been a big disappointment the past few weeks. I wish I could trade him for some MSG tickets…
Nice. Just scored a $58 direct flight to AC from Boston on Spirit Airlines and Brady and the Pats scored again in the time that it took to book my ticket.
AC can’t get here soon enough.
Also, it looks like the Bills’ Fitzgerald just had his bubble popped with that interception.
KP, the reason CK5 might seem a bit off is because since the comeback he’s using a new rig that has different hesitation. so he has to work on a whole new timing plan. i usually think he’s pretty on.
Dr P and all other NYCers,
do you have any friends that need a roommate or are looking to move soon? looking to setup shop in BK and would like a partner in crime for the hunt.
Hey all. Getting plans worked for NYE. Is the consensus that 12/31 and 1/1 will be uber high demand? Trying to figure out how many people to organize for the lottery. Does anone anticipate a problem getting rid of extras?
