November 20, 1994. Jamieboogies and I decided at the last minute, while eating Chinese food from Imperial Palace, to drive up to Madison to see Phish for the first time. Completely changed my college years.

If you’re like me, and excited (or at least curious) about the big Phish reunion happening in Virginia this weekend, just a reminder that free MP3s of last night’s show are up on LivePhish.com.

The Seed by Cody Chesnutt

Because this is the catchiest, nastiest song from The Headphone Masterpiece. And because I might need a drunken excuse to sing the lyrics: "Push my seed somewhere deep in her chest, I push it naked cuz I've taken the test."

Stereo by Pavement
