Quarantine Music and Podcasts
In my Greek class this morning we began discussing my favorite music and podcasts and I told them I would send out a list. Well, it started to grow so I thought I would just post everything here as well.
Music
Favorite Jam Bands
- Phish - this is by far my favorite band and probably consists of about 75% of the music I listen to. If you are going to listen to one live album to get started I would check out the best of their Baker’s Dozen run at Madison Square Garden (Apple Music / Spotify). This was a 13 night show at Madison Square Garden where they did not repeat one song.
- The lead singer and guitarist, Trey Anastasio, is also part of many of projects such as his solo work, Trey Anastasio Band, Oysterhead, and some other.
- The first season of the podcast Long May They Run provides an excellent history and in-depth look at the band, Phish.
- A great article for getting into Phish by Marco Arment.
- On their YouTube page you can play much of their live music and get a sense of the band
- Umphrey’s McGee
- Widespread Panic
- Grateful Dead
- Moe.
- Yonder Mountain String Band
- String Cheese Incident
- Disco Biscuits
- Keller Williams
- Leftover Salmon
Other jam bands that I enjoy: Lotus, Lettuce, Dopapod, The Big Wu, STS9, Infamous Stringdusters, Tauk, Galactic, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and more.
Favorite Classic Rock
- Pink Floyd
- Led Zeppelin
- The Doors
Podcasts
I listen to a lot of podcasts. Turning them to 2-2.5x speed and cutting out breaks and pauses with Castro or Overcast and you can get through a ton of podcasts during my week.
Favorite Tech/Productivity Podcasts
Many of the podcasts that I enjoy are on the RelayFM network. Check it out, I am sure there is something you would enjoy if you have interests in tech and productivity.
