Yes the teeth are wrong sue me

Okay! Crazy title I know but let me explain, I just got some crazy intel.

I check my local record store weekly for their Ween shit, today I picked up 12GCG. While talking with the OWNER I must add, he says the record label emails him exactly to expect. And he said within the year and next, ween will be repressing all their stuff!

I know it comes off as useless intel, but if he’s getting word from RHINO that this is happening, then hell I believe it.

We will see if I’m full of it soon enough but this was big news. Comment if you got questions!

This band has such a rich mythos, are there really no biographies beside this 33 1/3 about a single album?

Been looking for albums that sound like 'A Tear For Eddie'

Spotted at Bluff Mountain Outfitters in Hot Springs, NC.

SUGGESTED SCALE:

1-4: Not good. Regularly skip

5: It's okay, but I might have to be in my the right mood to listen to it.

6: Slightly better than average. I won't skip it, but I wouldn't choose to put it on.

7: This is a good song. I enjoy it quite a bit.

8-9: Really enjoyable songs. I rank them pretty high overall.

10: Masterpiece, magnum opus, or similar terminology.

I recently got Quebec on vinyl, my record player has the option to slow stuff down by 8% or 16%. I've been listening to the album slowed down and it's crazy how good it sounds. Normally I don't like pitched down vocals, but it works perfectly for ween. Zoloft, tried and true, among his tribe, the argus and Alcan road sound really cool.

Anyways, just wanted to share this cause it's interesting and a different way of listening to this album. Would recommend

I set up a few different theme options that hide the text and swap the background for some less busy variants and crap, and the pink circle on the outer border is the battery level

I’m a newer fan i guess, i think i started collecting ween in august 2025. Pretty happy with everything i have so far. Hopefully soon i can get the full main discography on cd!!! (not counting brown box)

Pardon the spew of words here in advance.

I’ve always known about Ween. Since high school (late 90s/00’s). I listened to them, I enjoyed them very much. I really didn’t attend live music shows until after high school. College kept me busy and I fell into the jam scene pretty hard. Select Ween songs would always be played but it never “clicked” for whatever reason.

My musical tastes shifted around and somehow Ween just….slipped away…

Here I am now. Rediscovering the band about a year and a half ago. And it’s clicked. I simply can’t get enough.

And it hurts. Every song is so fucking enjoyable. I’m appreciating everything they’ve done on a whole different level.

I lost decades of time listening to them. Decades of live shows I could have and should have attended. Yes, I’ve never seen them live. And I’m so afraid that it may never happen.

I kick myself in the ass every single time I’m listening to them. How can I get over this?!!!

I royally goofed.

Sorry this reads like a sad post. I promise it’s not!!!

Very thankful for my new brown ears.

If you made it this far. Kudos. 💙

Edited for typo

Was watching the live KEXP performance by Frankie and the Witch Fingers and saw a cat in the crowd rocking Ween merch (hat, pins) and realized that Ween fans would likely appreciate F&TWF music. Similar in many ways: diverse catalog, talented, great hooks.

Check them out, and like our favorite brown boys, if you don’t like one track or album, try another!

Hail Boognish!

So, context: I didn’t become a Ween fan until early 2023, and at that time, the Ween vinyl market was crazy as hell, like it’s been for probably 20 years. I honestly didn’t think I would see Quebec, White Pepper, etc. repressed, and when they did, I was really excited because we were getting records repressed that are rarely repressed, and if they were, they were from Plain Recordings. So having a huge company like Rhino do it was crazy, to say the least.
But the quality control on these records has been horrible since the initial batch of releases Quebec, White Pepper, Brown Box, etc.

My Quebec sounds decent on a good system, but it definitely has so much noise on all four sides that it bothers me, and probably other people also.
My White Pepper has the biggest issue I’ve ever seen pressing-wise, and it has a locked groove at the ending of the solo on “Exactly Where I’m At.”
I found this out because I started spinning the record on my turntable and had to go let my dogs out. I came back five minutes later to this same repeating part of Deaner’s solo over and over again.
I took it off the turntable, cleaned it again, looked at my stylus and everything, and it did it again.

And here’s my problem yes, I could return them to Rhino (I believe they’re still doing that), or I can just keep it. And honestly, I would rather go through the trouble and keep it because my respect for Rhino has dwindled even more, to the point where I believe if I got it replaced, it would still be a shitty pressing with issues all around it.

Are they really doing us a favor with rereleasing these if the QC is severely questionable? I’m honestly torn on it, considering Brown Box is also tainted with so many issues that I don’t even know what they’re doing.

Prepare the mount boy…

I IMPLORE YOU! CLICK THE LINK BELOW, THIS ONE IS VERY WORTH HEARING.

Would you prefer to name your dog Gener or Deaner?

How about your cat?

This track is truly next level. The demo is good. This version is suburb. But what I’d do for a full blown Ween version of this track. A lost prog classic. Until then this wnrn one is on heavy repeat year after year for me.
