Sole Sacrifice

Ween go after Santana with typical reverent/irreverent abandon on “Woman and Man”, the first scorcher we’ve heard off La Cucaracha, the 9th proper studio LP, on sale 10/23 on Rounder Records. And at 10 minutes and 29 seconds, Dean & Gene show zero signs of slowing down in their middle age, thankfully. Can’t wait to hear this one live; we need a setlist shake-up bad. Ween is the only band with eleventy billion original songs from which to choose- yet they seem to come up with roughly the same setlist every night.

Face-melting 10 minute Woodstock-worthy guitar solos not your cup of chamomile shroom tea? Hmmmm. How about a clip of Heather Graham and Scarlett Chorvat making out, backstage? Thought so.

… Wait, you don’t even own the Friends EP? It’s only the greatest gay concept album, ever!!! And you call yourself a fan of recorded sound?! For shame!!! While you’re at it, might as well pick up Shinola, too.

Also, we’ve consulted The Big Book of Every Photograph Ever Taken, which includes all camera phone pictures taken and then mistakenly deleted, and we’ve come to the conclusion that this picture of Britney is the funniest picture ever taken. I scream, you scream, we all scream for a “habitual, frequent and continuous use of controlled substances and alcohol.” Sarah Silverman, you don’t know how right you were.

there’s a spanish word for that guitar solo right there: Eeeeejole (sp?)…which I think means “dang.”

nice fabric store smock. i like the glasses, actually.

and choo choo, the train stops in Killa Kali-fornia! wooot!

Awesome. I was just listening to White Pepper today.

Britney takes her role as Goofus to Xtina’s Gallant so seriously these days.

on rounder? odd pairing. Allison Krauss, Raffi, Ween.

hope the new one has some love songs. i’m gay for their soft stuff.

oh, it does. i’ve heard the whole thing, now, and it is great.
