Supposedly 10,000 copies were pressed, and they're almost gone at this point. Get 'em while you can, boys!

I’ve been trying to find this image again, I have it on my old phone but it’s fucked. Does anyone have it? It’s pretty self explanatory; Dean is hovering his bare ass over Gene’s face while he’s asleep, presumably in a tour bus.

imo it’s either a tear for eddie (especially the outro) zoloft live in chicago or jonny on the spot, as well as the transdermal celebration solo, anyways there’s way more i haven’t mentioned so don’t beat on me in the comments.

Picked up a used 12GCG from eBay off Goodwill. It was 20 bucks and they had a stock photo of the artwork no photos of case or anything. I get the Cd and it’s the Ali speech version but the booklet has mold and is water damaged.

Anybody have a high quality scan of the booklet and back art work so I could make my own to replace?

For some reason when describing Ween to people, I use the following basic ideas:

-novelty played straight
-funny, but not comedic
-uses irony in a genuine way

The lyrics tend to use their goofiness and novelty in ways that are humorous, but at the same time can be a bit profound in ways you didn't expect.

There's a sense of innocence and simplicity that they seem to capture that allow them to branch off into wild places in a lot of other ways.

Maybe I've answered my own question, but lemme know what you think. What other bands/poets/whatever also seem to get this sweet spot right?

For some reason it just struck me how random in the context of ween’s lyrics name dropping franz kafka was in she’s your baby (one of my very favorite songs). I was just wondering if there are any other literary references in ween lyrics I may have missed or any interviews where aaron or mickey talk about any sort of poetry or books that inspired them

Mine was hey fat boy

ok, stick with me on this one, in the 1994 cohen brothers film the hudsucker proxy, i don't want to ruin it if you haven't seen it so I won't go into tons of plot details, in the 50th min or so there's a scene in the news room chiefs office, where a reporter played by Bruce Campbell smacks the backside of another reporter played by Jennifer Jason Leigh, she slaps his face and walks off angrily yelling "back off smootcher!"

my initial thought was obvious that the guys might have been watching that movie and that scene made them laugh and the song was born, but then i remembered that pure guava came out in 1992 so...

are joel and Ethan cohen huge ween fans or is this just a ridiculous coincidence?
