Phish V. Radiohead

The Merth Beaten Worker

...no, not the landmark supreme court case in which people with radio's for heads were barred from sueing people for stealing credit card numbers throuhg online deception. Rather, a heated debate between me, podo, d-rok, and guy t.

So, i advance the claim that Phish is the most important band of the 1990s, and perhaps the most important page in the musical history of the 20th century after stravinsky. Why, u ask? Because phish not only puished the envelope of music, like, i agree, radiohead did, but they redefined the very aesthetics of pop art, specifically, but not only, pop music. Under their hoppity, smooth beats there exists series of tight fuegal jams and anti-jams, compositional structures that contrapuntally challenge even post-modern definitions of atonality and polytonality, and an advanced minimalism that gives way to jazz and blues structures that shouldn't even exist in the same sentance of their typical rock nominalism.

Does that actually mean anything, or am i just making up words? The world man never know.

Also, does anyone know if Lord Byron's first name was Lord, or if he was a lord, or if he was actually a deity?

In other news, does anyone have a thesis idea for me...Im running out of time, i might actually have to get a job this summer. Anyone wanna work on a kibbutz?

Tipsy fuddled boozy groggy.
