Oh Bernstein and Chasnoff,
Where do you get off,
Thinking you're only two of twenty.

Oh Andy and Larry,
You're so damn hairy,
Why don't you go and take a bath?

(Because..)
You're getting sued.
Bummer, dude.
But you just don't know when it'll happen.

You're getting sued.
Bummer, dude.
But the time's just not right for that action.

Klopstein and Cabot,
We just won't have it,
We know exactly who you are.

Tariq and Shep Williams,
The pages they will fill 'em
Well, phony names will only go so far.

You're getting sued.
Bummer, dude.
But you just don't know when it'll happen.

You're getting sued.
Bummer, dude.
But the time's just not right for that action.

You're getting sued.

Larry Chasnoff, Marc, and a mutual friend of ours, Keith Koslov, all spent their summers growing up together in upstate NY at a place called Schroon Lake. \r

I went to high school with Keith and knew Marc as his annoying prep school friend, way too soft for us public school Brooklyn thugs. Then a bunch of us went to see Phish in Sugarbush in 95, and Marc started telling about this band he was in, and I started telling him about this idea I had for a book. \r

Walking around the lots a kid from Penn recognized Marc from his band and got all excited. I thought to myself, "hmmm, if the book thing doesn't work out, maybe I can ride Brownstein's coattails a little." \r

A few months later, as the Biscuits toiled in relative obscurity, we came out with the first Pharmer's Almanac. Only about 6 people worked on it, but we wanted to make it look more like a community project, so we put a lot of fake names in the staff box. It was a mix of names of people from Schoon Lake (Nick Weiss) and completely absurd names like Harvey Klopstein, Tariq Ali and Shep Williams. \r

When Marc and Keith saw the book a few months later, they thought the fake names were hysterical. While I wasn't there, I assume they spent the next few hours making fun of Chasnoff and I on every possible level. And at some point Keith pulled out a guitar. The rest was history. \r

So that's where the song came from. ("Klopstein and Cabot/ we just won't have it/we know exactly who you are/Tariq and Shep Williams/ pages we'll fill'em/ but phony names will only go so far.) \r

I was all excited that I had a song with my name in it until people started coming up to me and asking "Hey, why did you get sued by Phish?" \r

I want to state, for the record, that we never were sued by Phish, never threatened to be sued by Phish, and never had any legal issues with Phish regarding the Almanac. Every interaction we've had with management has been positive. \r

We caught a lot of grief in the early years from about a dozen people on rec.music.Phish (I know, what a shocker, someone getting grief on an Internet discussion group) but we never got the same from management. \r

I'm not actually sure where the "You're getting sued/bummer dude" line came from, but I think it had to do with the fake names or maybe some of the flack we were getting on the Internet. \r

The Almanac ended up selling about 70,000 copies, but at some point I got tired of going to Phish shows and decided it was a lot more fun to see the Disco Biscuits. \r

~Andy Bernstein\r

Although its lyrics were never cerebral, Bernstein & Chasnoff connects the band to greater jamband lore. Musically the song is not much more complicated: There are two verses, each followed by a chorus, a bridge and chorus, a jam section, and a triumphant ending. At various points in its history, the ending has contained a bonus section (referred to as “Smell The Funk” only after it had been shelved).\r

For its first year, B&C did not contain any jamming of note (refer to 1/30/97 for some truly bizarre sound effects in the pre-Trancefusion era). Trancefusion era versions of 97 (of which 11/17 and 11/18 are extant) do little to suggest the song’s eventual heavy hitter potential. Beginning early in 1998, the song became a vehicle for some of the band’s most interesting early experimentations. 2/26/98 is of particular note, a 25-minute version that contains elements of what would make the song great. Even more significant is 3/21/98, the “Techno B&C,” and what is considered to be the first “Perfume version” of any song. The song remained strong, if slightly less noteworthy, for the remainder of 1998. Already its M.O. was becoming pretty clearly established—the song would regularly depart from blissful type one territory for spacey, sinister territory, and was the earliest example of this style of exploratory jamming.\r

One of the first jams of 1999 was a B&C jam, in the early morning hours of January 1. This B&C > Nughuffer was likely the greatest example of pure Trancefusion yet played at the time. The song stayed strong through 1999 (a high water mark for both the band and the song), with standout versions played on 4/24, 4/30, 5/5, and 9/11 of that year. In particular, the latter two are frequently cited as the strongest versions of the song.\r

The band took a hiatus from B&C during its author’s departure from the band, but it returned with a vengeance at Camp Bisco, split-up dyslexically over 8/25/00 and 8/26/00. Despite the fewer shows played in 2000, there is no shortage of strong B&Cs from the fall tour. Of these 10/27 is thoroughly unique, and a sleeper choice for best ever, while 12/28/00 is more reminiscent of the classic 1999 style B&C.\r

After 2000, B&C faded a bit into the background, although some standout versions do exist from this era. 4/24/01 received some attention for its inclusion in Steele’s Picks, 9/6/01 contains some fantastic fall 2001 jamming and one of the early Sound 1s, and 10/5/02 is remarkably strong (of course, as is everything from that show). 11/29/03 is a lesser-known but very interesting version, which may be the first to be jammed out of the bridge rather than the main jam section.\r

B&C was played just thrice in 04 and once in 05 before Allen joined the band. After a few versions in the winter and spring shows, it was absent for nearly the whole of 06, from 4/26 until 12/29. The 12/29 version is a much-loved mashup with Joy to the World, and features the return of the Smell the Funk section, shelved in January 1999 and busted out only once on 5/5/01. It would be played on every 07 version and then shelved again indefinitely.\r

2007 would be B&C’s second golden era, as nearly every version from that year is excellent and highly regarded. After the fairly standard Jam Cruise version, it was split three ways for the first time at the legendary Starland Ballroom run on 2/17, which featured numerous debuts, Allen first-timers, and bustouts. While it didn’t surface over the spring tour, the standalone version that opened Camp Bisco VI is probably the strongest standalone with Allen. In the fall tour, 10/16 is a particularly strong version (flying slightly under the radar due to a lack of available soundboard) and 11/1 contains the first jam into the beginning of the song with Allen, and since 4/4/02.\r

B&C was only played twice in 08, although 4/19/08’s monster inverted version (first inversion with Allen and first since 7/23/03) is a must-hear. After a single performance each in the winter tour and spring tour of 09, B&C was played six times in the four months from 10/3/09 to 1/28/10. Each of those 6 versions is inverted. In the post-wristgate era, B&C rarely produces a memorable jam, with two glaring exceptions: the stellar and spacey 2/3/17 B&C > Voices > B&C, and the monster dyslexic beginning that opened the second set of 10/19/20.\r

Whimsical, a pen in motion, thoughts roll in my mind,
scamper by so quickly now an agile word would find,
well I tried to grasp an angel, saw her wings, and watched her fly
reality for mingling dreams to scurry back and get in line.

We ordered out for mindless dribble,
over used, half wit, ishkabibble,
corner store junkies giving advice
we ordered out for paradise.

A gallery, a pen in motion, a delightful line instead,
it's chivalry outranks commotion on the roads most common tread,
and on those boots, the clicking heels, the dreams, the angel starts to fly,
to masquerade the world's parade for only seconds at a time.

We ordered out for mindless dribble,
over used, half wit, ishkabibble,
corner store junkies giving advice
we ordered out for paradise.

Apple butter toast is nice,
envisioned on a third wind twice,
my fine breaded friend was denied by the vice,
And they missed the perfume.

In a native centered world, one picks the fruit right off the trees,
on a wild blue island in the deep blue seas,
beyond a paleocentric world with all our people shaped in threes,
the only way I get around is some mild insanity.

We ordered out for mindless dribble,
over used, half wit, ishkabibble,

Apple butter toast is nice,

my fine breaded friend was denied by the vice,
and they missed the perfume.

after intro, the chord they hit is a F# major played
on the 2nd fret.
They keep hitting this until you get to the next part, which is the part
during the verse too.

the way barber plays this kinda has this shuffle feel to it. the chords dont really sustain at all. for best
results don't press down all the way on the strings
to keep it from sounding too loud, avoiding the heavy
pick attack sound.

Beyond a paleocentric world with all our people shaped in threes, The only way I get around is with some mild insanity.

The first debut of 1998, Mindless Dribble signalled an important shift in the band’s style and songwriting maturity. It’s challenging lyrics and aggressive style placed it in contrast to the faux-hippie neo-psychedelia of 97-95.

The first few performances of Dribble were completely free of improv, but within a little more than a month the band was beginning to carve out the song’s nascent jam section. There is a tremendous observable growth throughout the year, with at least one must-hear version, 12/30/98 (also noteworthy as the first "happy" Dribble). Other noteworthy early versions include 4/18/98 and 5/2/98.

The song became a major jam vehicle in 1999, the year where most of the strongest versions can be found. The jam section remained fairly standard throughout the year, with a few notable deviations, e.g. the demented, primal 10/28/99 and the fairly blissful 12/30/99 (another "happy" Dribble). The song remained strong through 2000, with noteworthy versions including 10/31/00 (the longest version to date) and 10/6/00, in which the chord progression that eventually gave rise to The Big Happy, Highwire, and I Remember When was debuted.

Dribble remained a strong selection in 2001, with the split-up "happy" Dribble from 3/31/01 widely regarded as one of the best. The song also underwent some important developments in this year. On 4/20/01 (fittingly) the “dub” version of Mindless Dribble was debuted, a part of the larger trend of dubbed versions of Biscuits songs that swept up both I-Man and Floodlights during April 2001. Later in the year, the song became the vehicle for the composed jam that would eventually become known as Strobelights and Martinis. Beginning on 9/1/01, and continuing through the month, every Dribble (with the exception of 9/21/01) would bear the hallmarks of this jam. The section was briefly reprised again in April 2003 and occasionally after Strobelights was debuted as its own song.

Although Dribble remained a staple of the catalog, its appearance grew less frequent in 2.0. It was never shelved, and was often split up to keep it interesting. When not split up, Dribble often fell into predictable patterns that made it less interesting than it had been in the 1.0 era (though exceptions to this rule exist--most notably the Red Rocks Dribble of 5/29/10).

Dribble continued to be a common presence throughout the setbreak era, being played, on average, around once every five or six shows (the striking exception to this is in 2018, when, excluding the dub version from Camp Bisco, Dribble was only played once the entire year). The song had a major renaissance during the "Setbreak is Over" tour of fall 2019. 11/16/19 and 11/17/19 each feature half of a strong split version, and arguably the strongest full version played with Allen took place on 12/13/19.

I want to go...

Tango and Bossanova,
I take my nughuffer everywhere I go,
When I go around the city.

Tango and Bossanova,
Life is hard, you cannot sit inside your house
And wallow in self-pity.

Oh, no, it's broken!

Nughuffer,
Lying in three pieces on the floor.

Twenty-five nughuffers,
Sitting on my bathroom floor..

Here we go, here we go, here we go, Jon The Barber!

The more that we gain is the more that I lose.
Uncontrollably strong, it remains with you.
I lie here alone don't know what to do.

Time rolls on and closer to home.
My heart pounds,the train is a drone.
Harmonius visions, your lips are my tone.
Stuck in time, cause you smile alone.

I've been waiting to meet you in life or in sleep,
That I have since your smile.
Patience my dear, for though you're not here,
Together we'll be with our child.
When we will meet in fortune and fame..the three
We will wonder 'bout life for a while.
The lies that we make, and the lessons we take,
Could not have transcended your smile.

Daydreams of friends I've made in the night.
The News is From Nowhere and never in sight.
The dream I dismiss but even in truth.
The bed I awake is familiar with you.
