The Mockingbird Foundation is a non-profit organization founded by Phish fans in 1996 to generate charitable proceeds from the Phish community.
And since we're entirely volunteer – with no office, salaries, or paid staff – administrative costs are less than 2% of revenues! So far, we've distributed over $2 million to support music education for children – hundreds of grants in all 50 states, with more on the way.
Seriously, Foam?
why do I want to kill you?
Personally, I like what came out of Trey's TTE album. The orchestra version of the song is fantastic. I can't imagine how much work the band had to put in to get the song to be playable at a show (the NPR interview said it took them 270 takes just to get it on the Joy album).
With that, I think the jury needs to stay out for a while and give TTE a chance. Some friends and I saw them perform TTE in Cincinnati and I thought they did a good job with it. I certainly think TTE has some potential.
Other than that...I'm with several other people on this board...Foam? I'm even surprised to see Sparkle. I think Sparkle is a fun tune.
That's how I see Time Turns Elastic. It has 'parts/interludes' that I love and parts that I can't stand. But unless it can be cut down or reworked, I'd prefer to see it come out of the Phish rotation. (I agree with others, it probably is better suited for Trey's side projects.)
What I really liked about TTE when I first heard it was the effort it took to write and pull off such a multi-dimensional piece. I applaud them for that.
Agreed on Mexican Cousin, that song is pretty rough (unless you're a frat boy or something). They encored with it in Denver one time and I almost killed myself.

There, that's what my poll would've been.
That being said, I would LOVE to see the boys bust out a set of "worst Phish songs", it truly would send that "we're gonna play what we wanna play" message.
