So, who will be dipping into the brownness this summer?
Ill be at Baltimore and NJ
Going to see Gener solo this week. :banana:
no dates near me, but otherwise i would definitely be checking these guys out again. first and only time was at jazzfest last year at the CAC, and it was awesome....
I haven't seen Ween since the late night set at Roo many moons ago. I must see them again. No joy this go round, though, no dates nearby.
Ween at RR would be epic though.
Anyone not going to the Rams Head Live show, will miss out. It's sure to be Brown.
Ween announced some Southern dates
Wed, Oct 28 2009 The Valarium Knoxville, TN
Thu, Oct 29 2009 The Lyric Theatre Oxford, MS
Fri, Oct 30 2009 Voodoo Experience New Orleans, LA
Ill be at the Knoxville show if anyone wants to rage it for some brownness
Story behind "Transdermal Celebration" Pretty funny.

Bold.
Via Jambase:
Dean Ween has pulled together the longtime Ween touring band minus Gener for three shows of all Ween material
http://t.co/2ep1KR59bF
3/19 - Charlotte
3/20 - Atlanta
3/21 - Asheville
Thing is, I'll already be in Asheville on 3/21. Unfortunately I'll be with a large bachelor party so I'm not holding out hope that this kind of activity would be everyone's speed.
^ Super super stoked to see how those shows go!
Really wish I could hit one up but not lookin like its in the cards for me. Would be a nice visit back to the south too.
I read that they are going to leave a mic up in case Gener decides to show up?
Can only hope
Wasn't sure where else to put this so here it is - http://ween.shop.ticketstoday.com/

Love the new album, should be a fun show.
I'm seeing them for the first time this April. I am a complete n00b. I know very little of their music.
Anyone have any suggestions what I should start with as far as getting familiar with them?
Hard to go wrong with any Ween, but I'd start with Chocolate & Cheese and Quebec.

my favorite studio album is The Mollusk, it spans through a lot of the genres they touch.
12 Golden country greats is their cowboy country song album which is different and awesome as well.
If you want to dive straight into the brownness put on GodWeenSatan or The Pod.
Pure Guava for weird Ween, White Pepper for "normal" Ween.

Third'd.
Also, 12 Golden Country Greats. And The Mollusk...
Actually, start with Chocolate and Cheese and we'll lead you from there.

"normal ween"
:-D
I'm also quite a big fan of Shinola Vol. 1.
Outside of :phish: and :syf:, Ween is my absolute favorite.
My favorite albums:
The Mollusk
White Pepper
12 Golden Country Greats
Chocolate and Cheese is a good introduction album, though.
WEEN is a tough band to get into I think. You really have to be is a state of mind that's ready for something super weird. They have songs that are flat out stupid, but they have lot's of Phishy type lyrical songs which is what I like about them. The Mollusk is a great studio album to start with. Live is Chicago kicks ass.

Thanks everybody!
Look at all these noobs sleeping on Pure Guava, go take a Scotch Guard bonghit and get back to me.
As a friend once aptly described them, "Ween is like listening to the best and most hilarious mixtape [or CD or playlist, depending on your age] you've ever made."
That's actually a great way to describe them.
There are SO many B-sides/unreleased stuff that is AMAZING too.
Some of my favorites, and not just for unreleased stuff, but out of all their material:

Those are absolute must-hears for any Ween fan.

Awesome.
I'm taking a long look at the April Asheville date.
Also, thanks to Budd for bumping this thread and giving me cause to go on a heavy Ween diet the last couple days.
