Callick posted:I like Freeman. Solid album. Black Bush is definitely my favorite track, and the most "Ween" by far compared to the rest of them. I hope he keeps putting 'em out Black Bush is my favourite too. It feels like English and Western Stallion is almost trying too hard to be Ween-like, whereas Black Bush just, is. Found these cool studio clips of three songs on youtube http://youtu.be/vcouux9tRoM http://youtu.be/T8iBGj3xfs4?list=UUCpd6qvE03uwMqoHwMfulSg http://youtu.be/ukapS7WrOC0?list=UUCpd6qvE03uwMqoHwMfulSg

I saw Freeman the other night, and they were amazing. I didn't even know what it was until a couple of hours before the gig, so I had no idea what to expect. They played a fair amount of the new album, plus some Ween stuff that was fairly in line with the album's sound, like "Exactly Where I'm At," "Transitions," and "Freedom of 76." The album isn't quite as good as the live show, in my opinion. The live band sounded like Crazy Horse playing early 70s John Lennon anthems, and the sound on the album is a little more subdued. Question for all you hardcore folks: if I wanted to make a mix of the "normal," prettier, or straightforward Ween songs, what ones should go on there? I'm thinking stuff like "Exactly Where I'm At," "Baby Bitch," "I Don't Want It," "Stay Forever," "It's Gonna Be All Right," "What Deaner Was Talking About," etc. I really am only familiar with the major albums, but I'm sure there are some gems out there.

Hmm, something like this comes to mind for poppy/pretty stuff. Tried to cover most albums. -Don't Laugh I Love You -Birthday Boy -Pork Roll Egg and Cheese -Joppa Road -What Deaner Was Talking About -Help Me Scrape the Mucus Off My Brain -I Don't Wanna Leave You On the Farm -It's Gonna Be (Alright) -Exactly Where I'm At -Even If You Don't -Transdermal Celebration -Chocolate Town -I Don't Want It -I Fell in Love Today Blanking on La Cucaracha and Pure Guava options.

I think Object would be the clear pick from La Cucaracha. Pure Guava... uh, I guess Sarah is pretty tame? Though I can't imagine doing a poppy Ween mix and not putting Push th' Little Daisies on it. Maybe the version from Live in Toronto? Rollersnake fucked around with this message at 22:50 on Sep 9, 2014 |

Object is a good pick. Hah, yeah Push th' Little Daisies is uh, technically poppy I guess. I'm envisioning this being like a "No don't be scared of Ween" mix and Push just might cross that line a little. That's why you make a disc 2 that has all the most hosed up/abrasive Ween songs on it!

You could put "Your Party" from La Cucaracha I suppose. Also if you don't mind stuff not from albums then there is always "Kim Smoltz" (unreleased but you can get it from BrownTracker), "I'll Miss You" from the "Beautiful Girls" soundtrack, and maybe "Beacon Light" from the X-Files album. All pretty accessible. "The Rainbow" is a great tune but the lyrics might not be what you are after. Edit: Or just the "Live in Chicago" album?

Harminoff posted:Really good recording of Dean Ween Group 8/23/14 I'm stoked Deaner is coming to the Ottobar again in Baltimore in November. It'd be great if they came to DC so I could get a little crazier (access to public transportation) but I'll take what I can get. I saw them the last time they came around right after they first formed and it was great. I can't wait to see them again since they've been playing together more.

I've always thought King Billy would sound a little better slowed a little bit so I did so by 10% and I think it sounds pretty good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DwsIOJXfq8o It's a good god damned shame Ween never came out with a reggae album. They were really good at mimicking the style: King Billy, Fruit Man, Nicole, Mango Woman. me your dad fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Dec 14, 2014 |

So, Deaner gave out two new (old) previously unheard Ween demos from the Cucaracha sessions last week on Facebook. The Wolfman "Ok, I promised Aaron I wouldn't give out demos anymore w/o his approval but i just found this one from cucaracha that i have never really heard and have no idea why it didn't get considered. it's called "the wolfman", we both wrote it and it has a very mid period bowie feel to it with screaming guitars. merry x-mas, this will be the last one for the holidays." http://www.chocodog.com/chocodog/wolfman.wav Leave Deaner Alone "I'm pretty sure this has never been posted before, but since it's Xmas I thought I'd throw it out there. There are 2 studio versions of this song, this is the original demo, cut to 16 track tape, when we re-recorded it Andrew Weiss wanted me to go for a ZZ Top "Deguello" type vibe and it totally didn't work. When I find it I'll post that too, As a side note, people took this song way too seriously, I love interacting with Ween fans and always have. I wrote this at the bar on a napkin though after a guy pulled a Woody Allen move on me straight out of "Annie Hall."

Aaron is going to play the Tonic Room in Chicago less than 1 month after Mickey's big NYE stand there. I didn't go because I am an old man now (also, I was at the Bowie cover show in Berwyn). Did any of you fellas make it? I wonder if he will use the Brownouts as backup (aka Ween cover band "the Pod") like Mickey did. That Wolfman song is dope, way better than most of the stuff that made the album.

Looks like Dean is looking for some help to finish his new studio. http://www.gofundme.com/jwo2jo Makes me a bit sad seeing something like this, hopefully he gets more than he needs. Good news though! Dean posted:My goal is to release my album before the summer. All of the songs are written--now it's just a matter of completing construction and tracking the album. edit:$3k in one hour raised. Glad to see that.

Did anyone watch Gene Ween cover Billy Joel at Brooklyn Bowl a couple weeks back? I was at the front of the stage and it was great. Gene was sweating the entire time, but he looked like he was having a great time. It also helped that he looked like he wasn't strung out. He sounds just like Billy Joel. poo poo, he looks just like him. Screw waiting for tickets to become available to see the real deal at MSG. I was hoping for him to sing Allentown because New Hope isn't that far from there.
