weirdojace posted:"You mind if we listen to Marvelous Clouds?" Seriously I can't believe Deaner subjects himself to such abuse. I imagine a majority of people just wouldn't have the sense not to ask him about his relationship with Aaron and whether or not Ween will get back together and all the poo poo he probably doesn't want to talk about with a stranger. I for one would chat the hell up about fishing.

I was kinda expecting videos to be up of the whole live show by now (unless I'm looking in the wrong place..). I didn't run across anybody who was there just to see Dean Ween, although I tend to know more beer nerds than Ween fans.

Another interview with Aaron about the new album. http://www.newsweek.com/coming-clean-gene-ween-weens-former-frontman-talks-sobriety-and-miley-cyrus-250774 A few quotes: quote:Do you think getting sober affected your songwriting? quote:..we scraped up the money to get nine days in a really nice studio. I got Chris Shaw, ... He recorded that record White Pepper with us quote:You’re definitely going to hear Ween in there. Everything you hear on this record is very much my writing style and the way it’s always been. quote:I love all the mainstream stuff. Miley Cyrus is awesome, and all those guys. quote:Fans are going to be in for a very, very pleasant surprise when they see Freeman live. I am f**king ready to play. I’m itching to play. We’ll probably play for a couple hours. There’s going to be smoke machines involved. There’s going to be other Ween songs. I got a lot of s**t to pull from.

I quite enjoyed the album. It's definitely stripped back, but it isn't boring like Marvelous Clouds (which I couldn't get through). The first song is great, a direct message to the Ween fans.

Discombobulator posted:Where? I have a vinyl preordered, but the site still says July 22 release. I think they mean leaked rather than released. Trying hard to hold off on listening to it until release day. Another favourite artist just had an album leak last week and I caved early. But seems like a lot of talk is centered around the first track.

The record label has a nice summary of the album on their website:quote:Listening to Marvelous Clouds, Aaron Freeman’s 2012 debut under his own name, fans might have felt that he was ignoring an elephant in his room—a drug-and-alcohol-related onstage flame-out that made viral headlines the year before. But Clouds, a deceptively chill Rod McKuen covers record, was just a warm-up for the artist once known as Gene Ween. In the opening minutes of FREEMAN, the self-titled debut from his new band, Freeman addresses addiction and its aftermath with the combination of merciless self-inventory and artful songcraft that earned Ween one of the most devoted fan bases in contemporary pop. This song, the unmistakably autobiographical “Covert Discretion,” is a quiet shocker. “Save your judgments for someone else,” Freeman sings. “Be grateful I saved me from myself.”

I dig your optimism but I don't think Ween is getting back together My friend and I saw a solo show of his some time prior to the official breakup. It must have been 'The Gene Ween Band' or something. We were both expecting a rowdy night but it was really subdued and a bit disappointing. I much prefer the atmosphere of what Deaner's doing now. me your dad fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Jul 12, 2014 |

me your dad posted:I dig your optimism but I don't think Ween is getting back together Oh, I don't think they're getting back together, either, just that we should appreciate what we get sometimes. The show I saw was billed as Aaron Freeman and it was him and his like 16 year old guitar player, playing poo poo like The Argus acoustic with everyone in the crowd singing along. It ruled.

Keep in mind that even if they never get back together they still have hundreds upon hundreds of cassettes that I'm sure they will have no problem releasing when the time is right. At least we can hope...

Here's a direct link to FREEMAN, because it's ridiculously hard to find on Spotify by searching. There are like four different artists named "Freeman" and because of that, (the guy formerly known as ) Gener has his album listed with a bunch of poo poo by other people. http://open.spotify.com/album/0NLzDQ8PiItNtUE2XQj33S

Here's a story on NPR's All Things Considered about Aaron's rehab, recovery, and new album. Really good and powerful stuff. I know that Dean/Mickey has a band too, so things might be set in motion for a reunion tour, but if Aaron wants nothing to do with that lifestyle anymore, I really can't blame him.

Yeah the Freeman album is solid. I hope he keeps cranking them out. This is the direction most Ween fans were afraid they'd go in after White Pepper which is fine by me. Also, I was kinda shocked to find out that he's only 42. I remember reading some comments about White Pepper like "its ok since they're both like 40 now, but does it have to be so dull?" - they weren't even 30!
