Welp I just realized it's been 10 years and a few days since being front row at my last (and only) Ween show. Time is a thing that happens.

A couple more months and it'll be 10 years since their last studio album

Before the breakup/hiatus a few years back, Ween toured pretty much every year. I'd be shocked if they don't announce a bunch of dates for next spring/summer.

Show in Bend, OR was super intense. They played The Mollusk album in its entirety before devolving into a suuuuper brown set. Deaner went on a tangent during "The Blarney Stone" about all of the bed bug bites he got in a hotel in Reno. It was super magical. They didn't play an encore but basically everything after the Mollusk was an encore. Including the dopest "Stallion pt. 1" at sunset, which my concertmate told me happened in Bend almost exactly 5 years ago and they acknoweldged it which was pretty special.

Clearly this is the next official live album Ween puts out, without a doubt. Two days before the show I got a hideous eye infection. Sat up front during Pink Eye on My Leg blowing kisses.

Not a word of a loving lie: because of my hosed up vision I took a fall and scraped my leg on my way to the show. Felt like a loving conspiracy theory.

Half Acre Brewery just released a Ween inspired collaboration with Short's that's a Guava infused beer. It's called Freedom of 78 and it is quite delicious and prickly. https://instagram.com/p/BVzwj5aBZw8/

As cool as a live companion to each of their studio albums would be, a part of me is super bummed that we probably won't see any more new music from them, at least for the foreseeable future.

# ? Jul 2, 2017 19:02 |

Meh, as cool as it would be to hear newly written music, they have more unreleased songs than 2pac so I'm sure we will get some more shinola type albums at some point.

Does anyone know where to get those old little transparent Boognish stickers they used to sell? They called them bong stickers. They haven't sold them on their site in years and they were cool and cheap. Also, this song (not Ween) is playing right now on my playlist and it's cool https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQfJpQI3auw me your dad fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Jul 2, 2017 |

Thanks - I didn't see any of the smaller ones but I'll keep checking Etsy and other places (I always forget how much fan-made merch there is). The one you linked looks like the old car window decal, which I have already. That said, this one is awesome

Had more fun at the Portland show last year but Redmond was a good mix and deaner was killing it. Also was honored by a visit from the blast man, who knocked on our hotel room door to personally introduce himself.

The 33 1/3 book on Chocolate and Cheese is fantastic and has enough interview material that it might as well be an oral history.

Every piece of Ween history that surfaces increasingly frustrates me. It's always so good and makes me wish the boys would take 6 months and literally write the book of Ween. But I'll take what I can get.

There's a few duds here and there (Pretty Hate Machine was half-baked and I found In The Aeroplane less-than-enlightening) but the good entries (C&C, Freedom of Choice, Donuts, etc etc) more than make up for it.

Spotted yesterday at a record store/nerd hive in my local mall (they were having a Smash Brothers tournament when I got there) - They wanted $35 for GWS Live and $50 for The Pod. I didn't buy either but it was cool to see them in a store. Had they been around $20 each I would have bought both for the sake of having them. I have a record player and plenty of records but my receiver has no phono input and I've never bothered to get a preamp. If I'm too lazy for that, I'll be too lazy to listen to vinyl when both are available on Spotify.[/s] me your dad fucked around with this message at 16:56 on Jul 24, 2017 |
