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.
If you cue up KDF> Twist (skipping MM), it flows seamlessly. The MM seems like an intrusion on an otherwise brilliant segment of music. MM, while great fun, really didn't fit.
That all being said, Phish has always:
- done the unexpected
- kept it fun
So, in the end, while I am sympathetic to your opinion, I say leave 'em all in the mix. Honestly, I'd like to see them add more of the Halloween music to the rotation, but lose the sound effects.
Don't agree that they are "barely songs". They are, in fact, just as much qualified as "songs" as 2001, Hydrogen, Black-Eyed Katy, or any other instrumental.
