Phishy Business?

I want to dish about...

The rumors that Phish might get back together.
 

can it be true??

First the Facts

Popmatters.com recently interviewed long-time Phish lyricist, Tom Marshall and addressed the rumors about the band's reunion. Marshall claimed that he had been working with band member Trey Anastasio for the past four months in the studio recording and writing. Trey has expressed a desire to get the band back together. However, no member of the band has officially announced a reunion. Phish recently received a lifetime achievement Jammy Award and, even though the band did not perform, Anastasio did a cameo of a Beetle's song with other artists.

Now the Opinions

Phish fans are waiting with bated breath to learn more about the rumors. I for one would be ecstatic if the band got back together. Kayley Hooks, who told me about the rumor, said she thought that be "totally awesome." I love their chill sounds that are perfect for cruising. Although I don't think the band will ever be MTV material, I believe they would receive a great response from fans. If Phish decide to go back on tour, I encourage all the bloggers out there to go to a concert. But if not, I will be going to one and there definitely be a blog about it!

Katy Perry

I want to dish about..

How Katy Perry has been named artist of the week by MTV.

First the Facts.

Katy Perry is one of the hippest, up-coming artists on MTV. Her song, I Kissed A Girl, has become an instant hit and is played frequently on the radio. The music video is shown regularly on FNMTV premiers and has received very good fan feedback. Perry has been nominated for two 2008 MTV music awards in the Best Female Video and Best New Artist categories. She will up against many well-known artists such as Miley Cyrus, Mariah Carey, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift for the award.

Now The Opinions.

Many Perry fans love the bi-curious song, I kissed a Girl. These people appreciate the cutting-edge song and its raciness. Not to mention its catchy lyrics and upbeat tempo. However, those who are not fans think the song is pointless and emotionless. I am with these people. I feel like the song is some stupid joke and the people who like only do because the song is on MTV. Furthermore, the homophobic people of the world are absolutely horrified by the chart-topping song because of its risque lyrics describing people of the same sex. Even those like myself who are accepting of people who are homosexual are a little disturbed. Also, I cannot stand how easily it gets stuck in your head. Either way, the song has been gaining popularity since it came on the scene and most likely won't be going away anytime soon.

I want to dish about...

The unexpected death of Leroi Moore, the forty-six year old saxophone player for Dave Matthews Band.

First the Facts.

Moore passed away August 19, 2008, after injuries from an ATV accident. Rolling Stone online wrote that Moore received a punctured lung and broken ribs from the accident, which occurred on his farm in Virginia. Since Moore's hospitalization, Jeff Coffin has been filling in during concerts. He will continue to do so for the rest of the tour. However, it is not certain what will happen after the tour is over.

Now The Opinions.

The death of LeRoi Moore has devastated Dave Matthew's fans everywhere. His performances were viewed as extremely talent-filled and entertaining. Through-out the nation, fans are mourning their losses. A Dave fan here at school, Carly Mathis, claimed that his death was "one of the saddest things ever". She speaks for all of us fans as we deal with this loss. I for one am still in mourning.
