Nice Costume!

Five predictions for Phish's Halloween costume this weekend in Atlantic City: 


Panda Bear - Person Pitch - a long shot, but Trey has talked about loving this album, by Animal Collective co-founder Noah Lennox, and "Comfy in Nautica" fits perfectly with the seaside setting.











Led Zeppelin - I - a Zeppelin album is a definite possibility with the band playing several tracks from the Zep catalog in the past, including songs like "Good Times, Bad Times" off this record with relative frequency.




James Brown - Sex Machine - cause even sounding like James Brown on his worst night would be pretty damn funky, as Phish know all too well.











Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend - after Trey's recent comments in the LA Times blog about this year's musical costume having a huge effect on his guitar playing and Trey's interest in the indie bands of today, this was the first album I thought of.  Not sure I want them to play this (even though I do like this album) but hey, you never know.




The Mothers of Invention - Freak Out! - the influence of Frank Zappa on the Phish sound can be heard in lots of different places and this would be a seriously freaky choice on Halloween.  I can already hear an extended vacuum solo in "The Return of the Son of Monster Magnet".
