A Punk Tries to Understand Phish

When we're not writing on this blog (and lately that seems like more often than not), we enjoy reading other music blogs/sites. One site we enjoy immensely is the Monitor Mix blog on NPR's site. MM is written by none other than Sleater Kinney alum Carrie Brownstein, and this week Carrie has taken the brave step toward attempting to understand the popularity of the band Phish and decide if she can get past the stigma of the jam band and it's brand of fans and enjoy the music. Boy, there's two band's you never thought would share the same paragraph: Phish + Sleater Kinney.

And while Carrie gives it a serious effort, we totally agree with her final assesment of Phish's music. Read her week's adventures Phishing here.
