Another New DJ and Celebrate the Return of Phish!

Hi everyone,

Last weekend was an "Encore Weekend," and I even overlooked blogging here. Ah well. It was an unplanned Encore, in truth: the radio's server was being migrated to a new one, and so it was too chancy to put on new programs. So, in the end, the schedule got bumped to one weekend later. Of especial note this weekend is "Under Eternity Blue" with DJ Arkstar. Arkstar's podcast "Grateful Dead Listening Guide" has been twice featured on the radio weekend schedule, but the new show he made exclusively for SpiritPlants Radio. Also exciting is that "Long Live Rock!" features Phish's 3/6/09 performance at Hampton Coliseum in Virgina, their first show after a 5 year hiatus. They sound great!
