7/24/8: Sure enough: there is a bug in the “dns update engine” we use. It should be resolved now (you’d not be reading this otherwise!)- watchful eyes in progress.
(If you are one of the software alpha-testers, thank you for your patience- it’s a complex system here, moving forward one milestone at a time)
As suggested by the riders last evening, in spirit of renaming a sewage treatment plant after our beloved president- go online, write a letter: "I wish to Rename Speedway Meadows to Chet Helms' Meadows." And nominate pete segeer - or was it pete sears? - for a nobel peace prize. Whatever, nominate 'em both!
All the above are well-deserved to become.
Remember in November: get your head out and vote. Or do it by absentee-ballot; your choice is important.

7/13/8: Alas, some site turbulence here- might be resolved, might not. Time will tell, I’ll keep watch.
7/11/8: happy 7/11! Finest of times here, in the bay area- albeit with smokey air-quality… The recording of last night came out alright (perhaps bass-boomy at times); torrent below.
While downloading: if you are eligible, yet not ‘registered’ to vote– or if you’ve got voting questions- head yourself over headcount.org. Even if you are ‘registered’, headcount is a cool site to see.

7/1o/8: While we were gone, it seems that our ‘DNS failed to update’… Should be fine now?
So, not everybody can afford to purchase every soundboard- but we give what we can, when we can. I believe most folks in our scene are more charitable than average; many extraordinarily wonderful people in our extended family, in fact. In that spirit, given such considerations, & with the goodness of ya’all in mind: here is our recording of yesterday’s performance of ratdog:
rd-7-9-8-flac.torrent -- rd-7-9-8.txt
Thank *you* for being kind.
6/9/8: Still 1 minor tracking fix TBD for 5/18, but as this is of immediate concern, we now offer a torrent of Bob & Rob (& Jack!) from the 6/8/8 Stop the Spray LBAM benefit in Sausalito. While you are downloading, please visit the Stop the Spray website for details on what you can do to act now – only ~68 days left until they are slated to start spraying on bay-area urban populations…

5/24/8: Here is the fixed file-set for 5/18/8 s5t4 – see plf-5-18-8-s5t4-fix-README.txt for more info.

5/23/8: Kudos to Peter Toluzzi: there is a ‘tracking error’ in 5/18, s5t4; this should be split into two tracks, as it was ‘terrapin->rider’. The ->IKYR is there, just not tracked or annotated in the .txt file. I should’ve double checked w/ the posted setlists, argh- mea culpa. Hope to post a fix here tomorrow, can barely function now- down w/ a wicked cold virus, tho the big meds are helping.
5/21/8.2: For the ‘newbies’ or otherwise less-than saavy, here is an example of how to do a ‘proper’ cross-posting, as done by our buddy Marc Pujol on archive.org for our recording of the 7/7/7 sweetwater gig.
5/21/8: If you enjoy the recordings we produce here (however you download them), we’d like to encourage you to buy the soundboards (the dead’s peoples are gracious enough to allow us to do stuff like this), be a blood/organ donor, and/or give donation to charity.
5/2o/8: And finally, here is our recording of the last phil & friends gig @ ‘the old warfield’. Who knows what tomorrow may bring? While I think I got this right, bad air-quality over these weeks has caught up to me & I’m operating in less-than perfect condition, hopped-up on cold medication. If something is broken, I’ll fix it- please be patient.
So we’ll (mostly) be staying out left-coast for ratdog tour this summer; scene was out of hand at the end of nokia, and for everybody’s sake we’re laying low. We’ll miss ya’all.
But being home, we’ll have a chance to plow through the years of backlog of audio we have accumulated from when we started our crazy non-stop phil touring @ the Warfield in 12/4. Seems fitting to come full-circle and put the brakes on w/ these Warfield gigs. What a delightful cosmic prank! I can step away & feel o.k.
Check back here from time to time, we’ll have goodies to share.

5/19/8.2: By the by, though we have taken measures to avoid such, if we made an error (tracking or glitch or whatever), we will post a ‘patch’ set once we locate it. Hope to have the 18th up here tomorrow.

5/19/8: Looking at this from a different angle, if these recordings sucked, there would not be such a stir. So I’ll take it that even the negatively-fuming people - in some part of their mind - appreciate it. All I ask is if you cross-post recordings from here someplace else, be sure to provide an obvious link to this source site in your cross-post.
And thanks to all those of you who have shared their positive vibes, gratitude, and good will with us – it is for you that we continue. More soon.

5/17/8: Schwirly-eyed & sleep deprived, what a fine ride. So after further consideration, I intend to post all the recordings (presuming tomorrow works out) here as I find time – should be able to pop out the 16th after I get some rest today.
5/15/8: What is organ donation? Means many things to many people. To me, in one way, it is a kind of recycling - O.D. increases ‘diversion rate’ from the landfill/cemetery. Somebody can use that organ!
It is sweet to look around - the Warfield and beyond - into most of all your casual eyes, and know that you share the joy of the knowledge that: “what may be your random, tragic departure from this world” could benefit others. Personally, I find immense comfort in that thought. If you don’t already, you can find that inner-peace too: be an organ donor!
plf-5-14-8-flac.torrent -- plf-5-14-8.txt
By the by: keeping the early torrents offline til later, transmit this most-recent first. All good things in all good time!
5/14/8: plf-5-13-8-flac.torrent -- plf-5-13-8.txt
Earlier torrent offline until further notice.
5/13/8: Happy Warfield Run! Here are torrents of our recordings of the three recent public phil & friends gigs:
plf-5-8-8-flac.torrent -- plf-5-8-8.txt
plf-5-9-8-flac.torrent -- plf-5-9-8.txt
plf-5-11-8-flac.torrent -- plf-5-11-8.txt
As always, drop us a line if you spot any troubles – hope to see ya’all rocking out soon!
4/28/8: The bittorrent tracker & telstar torrent here appear to be working now, finally. It took an effort, but I think the end-result is worthwhile- now we’ve got among the greenest bits on the internet (just ask the folks downwind of us! - hahah – but seriously, we’ll write more on power efficiency later, a faq is in the works).
4/2o/8: Happy day- hope you are having fun! We crawl back into operation, upgraded: now serving tunes w/ very-low power-consumption (& we have solar-panels on the house, etc.), using a ‘mildly tricked-out recycled laptop’. More to be said on that topic later…
While still in ‘recovery mode’, I believe enough works to launch a new torrent (bittorrent ‘local loopback’ looks alright- drop a line if you experience weirdness). Here is a recent show (only one available here now) we recorded which we thought phenomenal:

4/12/8: Dear friends- we are sad to report that rosemary hardware appears to have been struck down by a power anomaly.
So ends the second incarnation of rosemary; we are grateful for her service over these many years.
No worries: rosemary is an organ donor, her parts will be spread around and used where they are needed. And no fears: for her soul is transmigrated and possessed into this new form.
So begins the third incarnation of rosemary; though her shape may be different, the ghost in the machine remains the same.
It has been nice to see that there are other happenings around like this- things appearing very dead- yet which are not meant to be past- finding their way into some form of resuscitative-resurrection.
For what its worth, rosemary is now inside an old-yet mildly tricked-out power-tuned laptop- disabled cd drive, screen off generally, low-power ssd drive, etc.
It'll take a little while for us to get back online in full.
Strange skies above- this telstar that is next to return from beyond the event horizon, anti-matter seastones on the wing.
Cd-covers (& other great stuff) are/will be found here: http://phillesh.net/philzonepages/friends_stuff/download.html
Remember: being an organ donor is a good thing to discuss w/ your peeps J
