I found this about six months to a year ago. I should have sent it to you but never got around to it. Ween is one of those rare bands that people love or hate, never in between.

His art does have a nice style to it.

Yeah, Ween is like that. I find myself loving Ween less and less, sometimes. For the past few years, every new Ween record has been an occasion to love them a little less. And then, just when I start to think they're becomming irrelevant and unworthy of love, I go and listen to Z-Rock Hawaii, or The Pod. Or I think back to the first time I ever heard The Mollusk, with Ryan Roy and that kid with Downne's Syndrome. . . and the way he went "O-h-h-h, BOY!" when the drum rush of "Johnny on the Spot" ripped through the car. I know I've loved them more than I love them now, I can see myself loving them a hell of a lot more if they just went back to being DUMB.

I've only heard Ween a couple of times, but still found the comic amusing.

Two things...

You're in Berkeley... Are you going to grad school there? I'm still trying to finish up my undergrad but am not currently enrolled.

You have brainwashing down as an interest... not sure to what degree it's a joke... still curious: to what extent do you think that philosophy (specifically reading philosophy) is brainwashing?

The more records Ween makes, the less I have to recommend of them. Especially when corresponding with someone who is into Can and Beefheart. Z-Rock Hawaii is a record they put together with The Boredoms. That, to my ears, is Ween at their very best and I can unabashedly recommend it to music lovers the whole world over. Ah, to hear six-billion people singing "Piledriver," the very thought of it. . . Probably not a good record to dose to. If it's too hard to come by or your money's tight, let me know and I'll help you out ( ... )

I added Z-Rock Hawaii to my wishlist, but will have to wait until I have a fast connection and can download the songs since I won't pay the $69 that us being asked on Amazon. Thanks for the offer of help.

Probably not a good record to dose to. I've been known to fall asleep to the noisiest of records, sometimes the noisier the better... Zeni Geva, Big Black (ha), Jesus Lizard, McLusky...

Let's play Big Black at 3 a.m., and tell the neighbors they can all get fucked rjhudson October 9 2006, 09:25:51 UTC
