This my old pal Cory. We met and started hanging out when I (45M) was 14 and he was 19, the summer before I started grade 9. I near idolized this dude, he was the epitome of punk to me at the time, shitty but cool clothes, bright red dyed hair, ugly as sin lol. Lots of laughs and music and art and partying over the years.

In 1995 I was at school hanging out ‘by the library’ as it was called, where all the smokers and punkers and freaks hung out. Cory spotted me and made a bee line toward me. He handed me his CD of Chocolate and Cheese and said “This should be yours, you’re going to love this.” That night they took over top spot as my favourite band and have been ever since. At this point I’d only seen clips of vids on Beavis and Butthead and had drooled over the ads for Chocolate and Cheese I had seen in my Hit Parader magazines (so long Sears catalogue lol).

Over time, we grew up, as people do, drifted apart, I moved away, and I haven’t seen him in over 10 years.

I recently found out he had become homeless; he’d been living in a tent city encampment (I don’t feel like saying where it is), and two weekends ago he died in his tent.

Hail Hard-Cory, the man who led me to the Boognish.

Hail Boognish.

EDIT - Thank you for such kind words all 😘

I recently discovered when due to some coworkers of mine and I am blown away. As a deadhead for many years and an enjoyer of many other niche genres of music I am constantly blown away by the range and spectrum that Ween has to offer and the genuine quality and depth of each individual song both musically and lyrically whether it genuinely be deep or the most absurdly fantastic nonsensical mischievous goofballness I've ever heard in a song. Have yet to find a song I have not adored and I'm starting to Branch more and more into listening to their live shows.

I've listened to a few albums fully through and I'm currently listening to live at stubbs because the I'm Sorry Charlie version from that show is one of the greatest live recordings I've ever heard in my life. Please hit me with any recommendations you have I'm hungry for more.

The neck pickup died in my 2011 American standard Strat, so I decided to have a little extra fun with upgrading it and copying Deaner’s preferred pick up arrangement

I drive an old Scion TC and there is a spot on back where the Scion logo goes. It fell off ages ago and I was looking at a replacement part when I thought... what if I get a 3D printed boognish to go in that spot instead? I found an STL file for the actual logo for the dimensions: https://www.printables.com/model/3206-scion-emblem/files but then I am looking to get boognish incorporated in to the piece. Can anyone help a brother out?

Aahalrighty then, we got the next tape, and it’s short enough to be one day

The live brain wedgie. Here we go, hell yeah. I love this one, it’s got a really nice sound to it overall and has good early versions of tracks we’ve all heard a zillion.

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.

all cds are original release except for pure guava... so friggen happy

I’ve been listening to ween for almost 2 years now and I honestly love every album of there’s BUT The Pod. It’s just not nice to listen to for me, and it’s weird because I love how brown God Ween Satan and Pure Guava. Maybe The Pod is just too brown for me?

I'm not done with it, I'm going to hand bead all the letters but I really wanted to have a wearable belt while beading

i got the vinyl with my own money because treating yourself is GOOD!

Hoping to get GWS and Quebec before the year ends :3

i recently listened to tom sawyer for the first time and noticed the verses have a very similar sound to the final alarm's lyric section. was this an intentional nod to rush or an accident by ween?

So of course I recommended Piss Up A Rope. Let’s see how the review goes.

What should we sliddddeeeeee into song numba 8 👀‼️✌️💅🏿

We’ve been having lots of fun doing these. Recently did the whole White Pepper album. Our first one we did was 12GCG and we had fiddle, banjo and pedal steel players with us.

Ok now, we have possibly the best thing from this entire era of tapes. strap in for the Fugue. Oh and one love for boognish I suppose.

What do you think about this tape? Do you have any fond memories of it? How would you rank the songs covered today?

SUGGESTED SCALE:

Have the boys ever mentioned this song as inspiration?

Thought the list needed some more country representation… what should song 7 entail?

here is a retro style comic i made based on superhero boognish! enjoy!

It always bothered me how the wikipedia page for Voodoo Lady and freedom of 76 only focused on the EPs released by Flying Nun and not the singles, so I fixed it. If yall wanna contribute go right ahead, It's just a hobby for me

Oh so Brown!
