| Rafter101 | Posted: Nov 07, 2007 - 08:13 I really enjoy Phish, but...all those melodies start sounding like the same phucking song after a while. It does take me back to a half-drunken afternoon on the grass at Chico State, watching the youngsters try out their new band (1987.) |

I even trying googling for more info on the sculpture: http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A624&page_number=9&template_id=1&sort_order=1 However, I still don't get it. It reads like gibberish to me. In fact it kind of goes hand in hand with this article. http://worsethanfailure.com/Articles/Failing_the_Turing_Test.aspx I appreciate your post though. |
| EchoTony | Posted: Mar 16, 2007 - 15:11 If someone ever said, what's the most "pop" song Phish does, I would think this must be in the top 3 (Suzzie Greenberg & Chalkdust Torture). That being said, this is a good "intro" to Phish, and can get a non-Phish-head listening. |

They place very little emphasis on lyrics in their earlier stuff, like this. I still think that their lyrics are brilliant, though. I guess this isn't your thing. :D |
| mwiseley (Boston) | Posted: Mar 16, 2007 - 15:08 One of the greatest bands of all time. Anastasio is a genius. Yes, their lyrics are goofy. So what. They're musicians, not poets. |

Anecdote of the Jar Wallace Stevens I placed a jar in Tennessee, And round it was, upon a hill. It made the slovenly wilderness Surround that hill. The wilderness rose up to it, And sprawled around, no longer wild. The jar was round upon the ground And tall and of a port in air. It took dominion every where. The jar was gray and bare. It did not give of bird or bush, Like nothing else in Tennessee. Some of the songs comments speak of change and transformation Let's correct one thing first. Trey Anastasio wrote "Sample in a Jar". Little Feat covered it in a Phish tribute album (Sharin' the Groove: The Music of Phish) a few years ago. So much for, er, fetid counterculture types... The lyrics to "Sample in a Jar", below, don't IMHO point to Stevens's poem. "Anecdote of the Jar" is more closely related to Umberto Boccioni's sculpture, Development of a Bottle in Space, in NY's Museum of Modern Art. Both define space by building it around the object (i.e., the jar/bottle) rather than defining the object by its place in space. (I tried inserting an image of the sculpture, but I'm not smart enough to do that. Find it here: http://www.moma.org/collection/browse_results.php?criteria=O%3AAD%3AE%3A624&page_number=9&template_id=1&sort_order=1) "Sample in a Jar" It's hidden far away But someday I may tell The tale of metal tangle When into your world I fell Without you now I wander soaking Secretly afraid 'Cause in your grasp the fears don't last (And some of them have stayed) I wheeled around because I Didn't hear what you had said And saw you dancing with Elihu Up on Leemor's bed And I was foggy rather groggy, you helped me to my car The binding belt enclosing me, a Sample in a Jar And on the market stands unfolding With all their willies and their wares I shuffle by alert but numb To all the glances and the glares And I think of you unheeding All the times I raise my cup It's now I know that you knew that I'd soon end up end up Chorus You tricked me like the others And now I don't belong The simple smiles and good times seem all wrong |

Too bad Trey can't sing either. I think that's my main problem with Phish- they're great musicians and I love their jams, but Trey's voice makes me sad. And I will continue to bitch about this every time RP plays a Phish song that is not Divided Sky- why oh WHY is Divided Sky not on RP????? |
