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.

Oh man, if footage with good audio quality was released I would be over the moon. I really appreciate Ween as a live band because they are more rock-y live but still great. Their Live In Chicago versions of Roses Are Free and Spinal Meningitis are fantastic yet very tonally different.

I've never done a Weensday but I've been celebrating HalloWeen for the last couple years where I eat candy, listen to Ween, and shame anyone who doesn't do the same.

I still listen to GodWeenSatan from time to time but it's far from my favourite album. I love the Pod and Pure Guava though. They're both those kind of albums that I can pretty much put on whenever. In fact, Pure Guava has slowly climbed my favourite album lists.

Do any of y'all keep up with Dean Ween Group's stuff? 2016's the Deaner Album was incredibly good and one of my favourite albums that year but this year we got rock2, their second LP. It's full of great songs including a recording of Don't Let the Moon Catch You Crying which you might recognize from the Caesar demo tapes. I like that original Caesar version but drat if this rock2 version makes the song a drat masterpiece.

That audio quality could be better but it was still good that they've officially done Rift live and not just DWG. I've been listening to some Ween demos and outtakes and I'm particularily fond of this C&C outtake for the Rift which has effected vocals and a prominent organ track towards the end.

I don't think he looks that bad. If he still had colour in his hair nobody would be saying this.

Did Ween seriously make a song about a 1983 action-comedy flop?

Really cool to hear those early versions of When The Going Gets Tough and Tender Situations.

I dunno I thought the Deaner Album and Rock2 were really good! Both albums are full of great tunes including a new version of Don't Let the Moon Catch You Crying on rock2 and I don't have an  big enough to express my love for that track
