  • Moskovitz Research Paper
    !1" Moskovitz:"Phish"Fan"Research"Paper/Spring"2015" Birds of a Feather: Phish Fans as an Information Community Submitted by Amy S. Moskovitz LIBR 200-12: Information Communities Dr. Michael Stevens April 29, 2015 Abstract Fans of the band Phish are a large and unique community requiring information and social connectedness to thrive. By examining and evaluating scholarly literature on information communities, music fans, Phish and Phish fans, as well as popular, fan-generated sources and informal conversations with fans, this research paper serves to create a comprehensive overview of this community. It focuses on their information needs, practices and preferences and their !2" Moskovitz:"Phish"Fan"Research"Paper/Spring"2015" information seeking behavior. The author finds that Phish fans seek information on a variety of topics related to their fandom and do so mostly via internet-based and user-generated websites and social networking. The research reveals that this information community values social interaction as well as technology and often exploits both to reinforce and satisfy their information goals and social bonds. The author also critically analyzes the findings and resources available to the Phish fan community and provides suggestions for information professionals on how to better assist this community with their information needs." Introduction “Birds of a feather are flocking outside.” –Phish Birds of a Feather (Phish, 1998) The phrase “birds of a feather flock together” is a fitting metaphor for music fans and information communities. Fisher and Durrance (2003) define an information community as a group that forms around a specific need for information. Music fans are not a new type of information community.

  • Nils Lofgren Still Faces the Music Almost 50 Years On. by Rush Evans
    HARD AS NILS Nils Lofgren still faces the music almost 50 years on. By Rush Evans IT’S HARD TO IMAGINE a better job for a musician than being in Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band. But in order to get there, you have to be good. Really good. And players that good must have drive, stamina and ambition. That’s why these musicians do other creative projects between E Street tours, everything from session work and producing records to hosting a radio show and fronting a band on late night television. And in the case of Nils Lofgren, you make Nils Lofgren music, writing and performing your own songs in the same parallel career that led Springsteen to hire you in the fi rst place. Springsteen had already been a longtime fan of Nils before bringing him into the E Street fold in 1984, and there’s a reason for that. Lofgren was a seasoned musical pro long before E Street, working with Neil Young during the “After the Gold Rush” era, fronting his legendary band Grin and recording a number of stellar solo records. And getting on E Street has not taken him off every other musical road, as he’s still pursuing that magical solo career. Nils has long been known for his soaring guitar solos and soulful voice, but his acrobatics on stage have drawn a lot of attention, too – his gymnastic abilities lending a celebratory enthusiasm to the musical proceedings at both solo and Bruce shows. And now, at 64, he has two metal hips, which have slowed down this renaissance rocker not one bit, as he has begun incorporating tap dance and harp (not harmonica, but the real deal, like Harpo Marx played) into his solo and duo shows.

  • Album Review
    Undermind PHISH, 2004 Elektra 62969-2 Phish called it quits in the summer of 2004, disappointing legions of their ‘‘phans’’ with a decision that was ultimately an interesting exercise in artistic integrity. Put succinctly, they were not feeling it any more. Three-quarters of the band felt that they had run their course; that they had had a great ride—one marked by phenomenal successes, most of which were hardly noticed by mainstream media and culture—but knew or felt, somehow, that enough was enough. No acrimonious fights and no bitter rifts. They wanted, quite simply, to go out on top. Chief among their concerns was a fear of becoming a nostalgia act, of turning into caricatures, of rehashing themselves and their songs beyond the point of healthy return. It was a fascinating decision by a fascinating band. The band built up a loyal and dedicated following due, in large part, to the nature of their concerts. Both set lists and song duration were ever changing. The band fashioned a sound that drew from a wide array of influences and musical styles or genres, evident not only in their own songs, but in their choice of cover material (one of a few key elements of the Phish experience). As with 1960s icons the Grateful Dead (a facile and often misguided comparison), no two Phish performances were ever alike. And it was this element of surprise and discovery that kept phans positively hooked. Followers of Phish formed and maintained a bona fide, full-blown (sub)culture and they provide a rich and fascinating case study indeed.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Understanding ‗It': Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish
    Understanding ‗It‘: Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish Scene By C2010 Elizabeth Anne Yeager Submitted to the graduate degree program in American Studies and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie J. Tucker ________________________________ Ben Chappell ________________________________ Henry Bial ________________________________ Eric Weisbard ________________________________ Nicole Hodges Persley Date Defended: December 14, 2010 ii The Dissertation Committee for Elizabeth Anne Yeager certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: Understanding ‗It‘: Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish Scene ________________________________ Chairperson, Sherrie J. Tucker Date approved: April 18, 2011 iii Abstract ―Understanding It: Affective Authenticity, Space, and the Phish Scene‖ is an ethnographic study of ―scene identity‖ around the contemporary rock band Phish. Utilizing data generated from six years of ethnographic fieldwork, including over one hundred and fifty interviews with Phish scene participants, this project explores how the production of space at Phish shows works to form a Phish scene identity. I contend that the identity of the Phish scene, what the band members and fans refer to as ―it‖ and I call a spatial articulation of affective authenticity, is produced and formed by scene members themselves, drawing from the interrelations between the production of space (practices that create a specific environment) at shows and a white, middle and upper-middle class cultural memory of the Grateful Dead scene. I situate this process amidst a cultural backdrop of 1980s and 1990s identity politics and in particular, multiculturalism and suggest that Phish scene identity be analyzed as a middle class performance of resistance that achieves community and meaning without resisting class privilege.
