TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON

E087 - "Remixing 'Shocked!'" Phil Tamney, aka Crosson, is a musician, producer, and long-time fan of The Disco Biscuits. After a chance meeting with Barber, Phil set out to create a house remix of the lead song from The Biscuits' 2024 album "Revolution in Motion."

E080 - Bernstein and Chasnoff (Song Spotlight Series) Nov 22, 2024

Show notes

TOUCHDOWNS ALL DAY w/ JON BARBER & MAX DAWSON

E080 - Bernstein and Chasnoff (Song Spotlight Series) - For years you've heard the songs...Now hear the stories of the people who inspired them. Andy Bernstein is a jamband Zelig and the inspiration for one of the Disco Biscuits' most beloved classics, "Bernstein and Chasnoff." A friend and collaborator of Marc Brownstein's since their Brooklyn days, Andy has enjoyed a front-row seat for the Biscuits' entire career. But Andy has never been just a spectator. As the author and editor of The Pharmer's Almanac he helped codify the lore and cannon surrounding Phish. As the co-founder and executive director of HeadCount he oversaw an organization that has registered more than 1.5 M music fans (and counting) to vote. And in his current role as the president of the board of Trey Anastasio's Divided Sky Foundation he's helping to establish a cutting-edge residential recovery program for individuals affected by addiction. We conclude the episode with a visit from another Andy: the Biscuits Internet Project's Andy Bazany, who stops by to share five of his all-time favorite versions of "Bernstein and Chasnoff."

For a more in-depth conversation about Andy Bernstein's work at HeadCount and Divided Sky, check out his recent appearance on the Roadcase Podcast.
