There's no 'general' Ween thread. So here it is. Anyway, M&N Gmail attack of 6 sweet demos from 1992 including Feed the Fire, Gabrielle, Short Span of Attention (awesome Paul Simon kinda jam) etc. Get with.
To Merideth!

I've been wanting to start this thread, but I thought it'd only be right if you did it.
I got my Live in Chicago DVD last night. Awesome.
Where did cheese go?
fallin out its the end
I do love you Blake!
There are a few Ween threads, but they're all specific. I need a home for such an obsession. Anyway, log onto the m&n gmail as these demos are fucking awesome!!! Their 1992 period demos are some of the best shit they've done, and will probably all turn up on a Shinola one day. The early version of Gabrielle is cool & this early version of Mango Woman is fucking hilarious!
Still have to order Toronto on vinyl & the DVD, but i've got alot of live ween, so it's a bit lower on the purchase list.
666, you're awesome.
can someone tell me what the login details are for the M&N gmail account so I can go download?
PMed
Wow, Gabrielle is that old?
Fark. I would have totally rocked that shit in 1992. Ween would have been the new Chicago.
we talked about ween last night and came to the agreement that if they tried a klezmer or polka revival album, they'd make it cool
they can do any genre and make it awesome
We need to do another Ween tribute night - or better yet just a Ween night at Vegas!
the paul simon-like song is awesome! and hilarious. sounds so much like that song which I forget what it's called, but you know.. the paul simon song.. ahem
bought the live in chicago dvd on the weekend.
watched it twice.
little bit of research shows me that the gabrielle 7" i bought in new york is a bit rare.
How about a Ween costume party? Come as your favourite Ween song!
I'd love to dress up as a mollusk, a spine.... or HIV!
thats a good idea captain!

I have the brown one. I love the packaging.
yeah it's quite nice.
a ween halloween party would be fun.
Hallo-WEEN
yeah those 7"s are nice.. and getting hard to find. Already going for decent prices around the place.
holy shit!!
halloWEEN party!!
we have to do it, blakes dress up idea is amazing too.
Where can i download this stuff?
Japanese Cowboy!

I wonder if nick oliveri and josh homme were in the room together?
It won't make up for no more ween but I really hope they both crank out awesome solo shit for a while.
I found the aaron freeman album to be pretty shithouse in that I put it on, thought nothing of it, then actually listened to it the second time around a week later, and now never feel the need to listen to it again because it was hugely dull.
deaner's sounds far more promising.
Aaron will do an album of original material, then it will get serious. I like his album but it does seem like a little experiment to get the Aaron freeman name around.
nah. the aaron freeman record was pleasant, but i might say the same thing about a josh groban record. i wasn't looking for anything particularly ween-y but the whole thing seemed to lack substance. psyched for deaner, and any subsequent gener.
if nick and josh can get back together (i hear there's some homme on new mondo generator) there's hope for us all.
I really do hope Nick and Josh get back together for proper.
listening to la cucaracha for the first time in ages. stands up. better than quebec.
Askdeaner.com reports of the damage in new jersey is pretty full on. The mollusk house is gone...

goes to show what i know. i would have probably put quebec at 10. whatever.
Lists like that are all very subjective anyway, obviously, but Ween albums are pretty hard to split or rank for me, as they all offer something different. Country Greats, White Pepper and Guava are the only albums I'd say are genuine hit-and-miss. The rest all have a great strike record and when a band is as ambitious as Ween, one or two duff tracks per record is fine. Listing God Ween Satan as their 2nd ''worst'' album is madness though. MADNESS!
I don't know how to rank them, but calling Quebec Ween's best album is something I never thought I'd hear.
For me there's a holy trinity of the Mollusc, White Pepper and Chocolate and Cheese. Then the unholy Pod/Guava/GWS trinity. Don't know where I'm going with that, but Quebec and La Cucaracha and GCG and Shinola are also rans compared to those 6.
It's been too long since I've watched Live in Chicago. Must rectify that soon.
Lists always sucks and rating ween albums will never be easy but I disagree with nearly everything he says about 12gcg but do agree Quebec is very under rated and completely awesome.
I downloaded the final ween show ages ago but haven't been able to bring myself to watch it yet, the wound is still too raw.
i've never stopped loving the pod. it's pretty ace that there are other albums i like just as much, that they're all by ween is amazing.
i've also got mad love for the friends ep and live in toronto.
I have a theory that ween have a song that could soundtrack any/ every moment in life, from the best to the worst, not many bands have that.
Live in Toronto was the first Ween album I listened to. It has a very dear place in my heart.
not many bands who have successfully pulled off the shield/spongebob soundtrack double
Not to mention a honda ad.
they also had a cameo in the ill begotten snl film ''It's Pat''. Probably the only people to get out of that one with their dignity in tact.
ween on RRR in 1995. they do not give a fuck.

That interview is so great. Thank you.
well that was pretty short lived. i hope some new music comes out soon.
I have sorta lost interest in this website the past couple of months……….I’m gonna leave it here and resume answering questions if and when I feel like it since I already paid for the domain name and server space. I just don’t feel like answering any questions about the band right now.
also i think there are some plans to get in cahoots with les claypool for some sort of fishing show
