And now for something completely routine: a Phish update:

Phish bassist Mike Gordon will pull bass duty for Gov't Mule on September
19 at the Ulster Performing Arts Center in Kingston, New York. Since
long-time Gov't Mule bassist Allen Woody passed away two years ago, the
band has worked with a rotating roster of bassists. This fall, Gov't Mule
will tour with George Porter, Jr. and Greg Azab, and Dave Schools will
also appear at several upcoming shows. Former Metallica bassist Jason
Newstead is expected as a special guest as well.

The Ulster show with Mike Gordon will take place at the Woodstock Film
Festival, which will also feature two screenings of his film "Rising Low."
The 88-minute piece documents the making of "The Deep End", a two-volume
album featuring 25 of the world's greatest rock bassists (among them Mike
Gordon, Flea, John Entwistle, Chris Wood, Stefan Lessard, Bootsy Collins,
Les Claypool, Phil Lesh, Jack Casady, Dave Schools, and Me'Shell
NdegéOcello). "Rising Low" is Mike Gordon's second full-length film
release. It will be screened at 9:30pm on September 20 at the Bearsville
Theatre, and at 7:00pm on September 21 at Allaire Studios.
