In Episode 091 we assess Phish’s fourth run in Mexico, focusing on what very well may be the best version of Waves we’ve ever heard. Following last year’s high quality run, the band returned with what felt like a vengeance, throwing down rarities, jams, and excellent sets throughout the entire weekend. 

Songs featured in this episode are:

John Moreland: “I’m Learning How To Tell Myself The Truth”

Kvelertak: “Bratebrann”

Neil Young: “When Your Lonely Heart Breaks”

The Fiery Furnaces: “Chris Michaels”

Did you know that music can accelerate child brain development and strengthen intellectual, emotional, and motor skills, as well as overall literacy? Bringing music into the classroom can help kids explore the mind-body connection and become comfortable with self-expression. Sadly, many children’s music programs are lacking in the resources they need to let kids explore this creative space. That’s why Osiris is happy to partner with The Mockingbird Foundation.

Founded in 1996, The Mockingbird Foundation is a volunteer-run non-profit organization dedicated to improving access to music education for America’s youth. Each year, the Foundation awards grants to dozens of music education programs, and funds those grants through a combination of fundraising, publishing, and the curation of Phish.net, one of the earliest Internet fan communities.

Mockingbird is entirely volunteer, with no staff, no salaries, and no office — so every dollar really does make a difference in providing children’s music programs with the staffing, instruments, and support they need. The foundation gives over 100–150,000 dollars every year in grants.
