Picked up a turntable recently after not having one forever, and found these in my stash of vinyl from the 90s. Totally forgot I picked them up.    Now I want to track down a bunch more Ween 45s

Deaner just posted this on Facebook: The Pod:  Deaner posted:wow--chris buly just sent me this---it's the only picture (maybe there's one more lovely one?) of our recording space at The Pod, which was technically a tiny little dressing room next to our shared tiny rear end bedroom. And this a few days ago, naming (most) of the people from the porch photo from the inside of Pure Guava:  Deaner posted:Ok, from left to right---TOP ROW--Kristy, Kirk and Trina, Sarah and Aaron, Cribber and his girl, Deirdre, Marc, Andrew Weiss' feet---PORCH--Pat, Jefty, Leigh, brunette in purple, Joe (in back), Warren (w/ cigarette), David Anderson (r.i.p.), Me, Nancy, Guy (in blue tie dye and shades), forget, Billy--FEET ON GROUND--Lynn w/2 little kids, Ellen holding baby, redhead w little kid, Josh's dad w/baby doll, purple headed punker, the other Leigh, Kathy, and Claude---and last but not least, my loving dog Jimmy in very front of it all! me your dad fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Jun 23, 2015 |

Just got back from the Dean Ween Group show in Pittsburgh. Owned so hard. They are playing really tight and they played something from just about every record. They played some Carpenters and some Hendrix. If they're playing near you, go see them.

Trey Anastasio, last night, Blossom Music Center, Cuyahoga Falls, OH posted:I'd like to take a quick second to send a special message out to my friends Aaron and Mickey who are going to hear somehow through this. Guys it's time to get back together and start playing again, that's from me here at Blossom. Aaron and Mickey I hope you hear that. Ween - one of my all-time favorite bands - time to get back together and start playing. Dammit, Trey, are you even paying attention? These dudes are done with each other for the forseeable.

So back in September I first gave the Mollusk a listen and didn't think too much of it. Fast forward to now and Ween is in my highest echelon of favourite musical acts. At first I found them a little too jokey. Even their serious songs like She Wanted To Leave seemed halfhearted. The first time I listened to the Pod, it made me physically ill. Then I listened to it again and it became my favourite album for a little while. As I progressed through their discography I warmed up to their goofiness. They became one of my favourite bands by the time I was finished listening to Chocolate and Cheese, but I appreciated them even more after listening to White Pepper and Quebec, the latter becoming my new favourite album. One of the biggest problems trying to explain Ween to my friends is that Ween can't really be classified easily. They're considered experimental rock but that genre label has much more serious and surreal connotations associated with it, at least for me. In my own vernacular, I consider Ween to be "Cartoon rock" because their music is not only colourful humourous, but they also sing in cartoony voices.

I compare them to Quentin Tarantino films. They're legitimate movies with lots of legitimate talent involved, but there's a certain absurdity that separates them from other "serious" films. They're also often homages to other music/movie genres as well.

Go see Deaner, when he plays the stuff live, you gain an even greater appreciation for those songs. "Big Jilm" may be favorite live song, but the first time I heard it on record I was just baffled by it.

Oh, I don't doubt it, I just feel it was a bonehead tone-deaf moment from a fan who just happens to have a microphone. I'd like to see the DWG, but as far as I'm aware, they haven't been through my town.

I thought DWG was still just touring Phily so I feel so dumb missing them when they were local.  Ween is what would happen if the Beatles followed the multi genre format of the White Album but went even more tongue in cheek.

I found one way of winning people over who always thought Ween was too jokey was to get them to listen to the live in Chicago album/DVD. That showcases some serious loving musicianship. They're tight as heck on that and I love the way production sounds on it. I had a couple of people who thought they were too jokey listen to that and then they went back and listened to some of the albums again with a whole new appreciation.

Saw the Dean Ween Group in DC last night. It was a great show but I was very disappointed Glenn wasn't there (I read somewhere he was part of this tour). I got wayyyyy more drunk than I had planned and I only remember bits and pieces of getting home. Finally shook my hangover around 2:00 this afternoon (while taking care of our 7 month old twins, no less). Does anyone know who the new vocalist is who filled in for Gener's parts?

I thought it was Glenn with longer hair, but I was kinda farther back on the balcony at that show. The band was great, but that was by far the smallest crowd I've ever seen at the 9:30 Club. I've gone to a pretty fair amount of shows there over the last 5 years, and I'd say most of the ones I've gone to sold out. There were maybe 30-40 people on the balcony, which is usually pretty crowded, and there was a lot of empty floor space. It was kinda sad. Maybe a lot of people just didn't know Deaner was touring, but I can't help but wonder if the turnout was so low because Gener wasn't there. I just feel so bad for these guys that they're probably touring and playing these songs because they're broke after one of the band members unilaterally ended everything 3 years ago, and people aren't coming out to see them. But maybe it was just a small crowd in DC.

Double posting because a few people on Facebook are sharing some quality rarity compilations. They've all been released before I think, but the second link seems to contain higher-quality versions of tracks (such as Albino Sunburned Girl).quote:Considered by many to be the mother of all Ween bootlegs, Rotten Cheese is a six disc compilation showcasing the finest and brownest moments of Ween’s 1994-1995 Chocolate & Cheese tour. The comp was put together by Kirk Miller, Ween’s sound mixer during the tour so all the songs are straight off he board. There are plenty of highlights here including the 26 minute long “Poopship Destroyer” recorded in Hamburg, Germany, to obscurities like “I Get A Little Taste Of You” and “Dirty Money”. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/6hmqg4pedzwtoxe/AACLT3vl-lluB6cG7zzCq31Ha?dl=0 quote:Ween-B-Sides, Demos, & Rarities (4-Disc Comp.)

That 4-disc comp is amazing, too. Tons of great songs I'd never heard before. Cornbread Red stands out to me as a stone cold classic and it's a shame that it's not on a more widespread release--the end of that song is incredible.

I think they would've been better suited for Black Cat on 14th St, or maybe even U St Music Hall. Gener played at Rock and Roll Hotel last October, but that place definitely would've been too small for DWG. I don't think Deaner should play 9:30 Club again unless Ween reunites. It was kinda cool being at a show that wasn't packed like the usual 9:30 shows, but you don't wanna play at venues where you can't fill the room.

That's how Ween became fairly well-known. For at least ten years after that episode, if I was describing Ween to someone, that was always a reference point to mention. It be framed as such: "You ever see the Beavis and Butthead episode with the song Push the lil Daisies?" "Yah" "Well that's them except that's a terrible example of the their music and here you should listen to me talk about the band for two hours and be forced to listen to several albums so you understand the complexity one might grasp after every studio album plus a couple live shows." I had a distaste for Push the lil Daisies for a very long time as a result of that episode until the version on Live in Toronto. I still don't like the studio track all that much but when done live, it can be pretty good. Too bad there wasn't a video of Poopship. Ol' Beaver and Bunghole would have probably liked that one. quote:"These guys got no future" me your dad fucked around with this message at 19:35 on Sep 5, 2015 |
