• 5 Triple Crown Horses and Music to Match: Michael Jackson, U2 and More

    Fans of horse racing finally got the Triple Crown they had been waiting 37 years for when American Pharoah won at Belmont this weekend, capping off a Spring that included wins at the Preakness Stakes and the Kentucky Derby. It was the first time a horse had won the "Big 3" since Affirmed during 1978, with the horse in question finally sealing the deal in the third race. We say "finally" because it's not as if attempts at the Triple Crown are rare—13 horses won the first two legs of the Crown in the years since 1978—however the lengthier Belmont course often wore down on the hopeful horses. Music Times doesn't know much about racing, but we wanted to pay tribute to the last five Triple Crown winners with a comparable musical act, including Michael Jackson, U2 and more.

  • Phish Launches Streaming Subscription Service Called 'LivePhish+'

    Phish is known for their epic live shows and incredible musicianship, so a streaming subscription service that highlights the band's live catalog is a natural progression. The band recently updated its free LivePhish app, which gives users access to their purchased archive of Phish shows, and now they have introduced LivePhish+, "Consequence of Sound" reports. The streaming service gives Phans access to the entire LivePhish catalog, which goes back to 2003, in addition to studio albums and rarities. It costs $9.99 a month or $99.99 per year.

  • Phish Playing Miami for New Year's Eve after Skrillex & Diplo Lay Claim to Madison Square Garden

    It totally skipped our mind Wednesday when we were reporting on Madison Square Garden's calendar for New Year's Eve what it meant that Diplo and Skrillex would be holding down the venue: Where was Phish gonna do its annual New Year's Eve revue? The good news is that the band found a new gig but the bad news (for us locals) is that it will be a long way from New York City, according to Billboard.
