OT - Phish covered Exile on Main St. on Halloween

[Max Taffey]

Any one notice the GITM album cover is titled "Story of the ghost in the machine"? I didn't notice obvious tampering with the other album art - maybe this is a clue that GITM will be selected?

Hmmm..

First song on GITM, Spirits in the Material World...

Halloween ... Spirits...

Hmmmm..

Heh! Right you are. I didn't notice any the first time except for GITM, and as soon as I go back I see "Page Against The Machine". Duh. Still, I wonder why they bothered to do that to some and not others. Weird.

Hmmmm. 'Exile,' one of the best albums of all time, or MGMT?

Seems a spurious set of choices to me...

[TheEqualizer]

Only 35 albums left alive, including GITM

Latest albums to get axed:

Miles Davis | A Tribute To Jack Johnson
Rage Agaist The Machine | Evil Empire

I am a bit surprised GITM has lasted this long.

ETA Crap. I have now officially lost count. I am not sure if there are 35 albums left alive or only 34. I'm thinking 34.

wowzas... thanks eq, great list of albums.. talk about eclectic... london calling or superfly soundtrack? nevermind or thriller? Astral Weeks orMarquee Moon?

i s'pose Thriller would be TOO obvious a choice? or would it?

[conroy]

Phish covering Double Nickels On The Dime could be quite the potential mindfuck.

Seems logical to me.

[TheEqualizer]

In the middle of the night, Ghost in the Machine was killed off. Phish will not be playing that album this Halloween.

Nuts.

33 albums left alive

Phish's Festival 8 will be filmed in 3D
