July 30-August 5
...every Thusday on this channel...
T h e T o u r C o n t i n u e s
Ween has worked their way to the West coast now...reports are that they
continue to hold
down the fort. Some stupid fuker kicked Janney in the face somewhere in
the mid-west, and
someone threw a bottle at Deaner, but besides that, all goes well.
According to Chad's site,
the new song "Bananas and Blow" is the most popular of the new songs,
but that could very
well be because it is the newest of the new. It seems that MANY people
are recodeing each of
the shows...trades and give-aways are a daily event on the
alt.music.ween newsgroup. Some
people have video taped a lot of the shows.
M a g i c a l P i g S i t e O n T 1
Rumor has it that everyone's favorite geeky fucker on the IRC, b0nes,
will be mirroring the
Pig's infamous Ween MP3 archive on a full T1 line. If this pans out, it
will mark the
resurgence of browness. If it doesn't pan out, then...shit. Let's just
all pray that b0nes'
boss doesn't wander into the Linux room just as some underage kid begins
to download "Put
the Coke on My Dick" and that he doesn't feel the compultion to stop
that kid "for his own
good."
B o b b y O g d i n
I hope I got this one right: Bobby Ogdin, the mastermind behind Bobby
Ogdin and the Shitcreek Boys, may take a flight to catch up with Ween's
current tour and play piano with them. He wants to do "So Long Jerry."
That would be the shit, right?
W e e n P l a y s A L L I n s t r u m e n t s
Pat tells us that Ween plays almost all the instruments on all the
albums (except 12GCG).
That's cool, right? That means that Ween is a superior band.
C a k e f i n g e r I s M i s s e d
People are beginning to genuinely miss Cakefinger. For those who forget,
Cakefinger was this
really cool guy who used to come on the Ween newsgroup and explain
certain
difficult-to-understand issues to us. We all learned so much, like about
the exponential
nature of time, the universalist history of dance, the origin of the
democratic movement in
Europe, and how to change a car's transmission while driving.
Cakefinger, come back!
G o o d b y e S h a n e
Shane, who was a real regular (with all the trimmings) on the Ween
newsgroup, posted a
mysterious message saying that he will no longer be involved with the
online Ween community.
He said his motives are too difficult to explain, but that one day he
may return and fill us
in on the story. Speculation as to what's up has included theories that
Shane is going to
jail; going to re-hab; breaking his vicious Ween addiction; going into
the army; going to an
insane assylum; being grounded by his ma; moving on to bigger and better
things like Phish;
becoming a born-again Christian who opposes EXPLICIT LYRICS; going deaf;
going blind; going
undercover and now posting under the name "Spane." Whatever the
reason...Shane you will be
sorely missed. Cakefinger, come back!
W e e n C h a t
Floyd Scheisskopf wants to start some sort of Ween chat thing. People
ridiculed him because #ween on the IRC already exists. If you don't know
how to get on the IRC, you're probably better off. It is pretty addicive
and no one ever says anything about anything except how they hate the
IRC and how they hate you or someone else they are chatting with. A
typical day on the IRC sees a bunch of familiar faces...on a good day
these folks are kind to eachother. On a real good day a male and female
chatter flirt vehemently. On a real real good day some weenies make some
big plan about some weenie activitiy they will do. And on a rea real
real good day you suddenly, seeminingly arbitrarily get kicked off the
chat and banned from coming back in. Do a search on Yahoo for IRC to
read how to do it.

The mystery of Mean Wenn has been solved. But now I forget who he is. I
know that he's friends with Ween from highschool. I know that that's him
on the cover of the Pod. I know he's the roadie on the current tour. I
know that he has been incarcerated for violent crimes. And I seem to
recall that he worked for a summer on the Bob Dole presidential campaign
and was the mastermind behind the slogan "Clinton Fucked Some Bitch So
Vote for Bob Dole." Beyond all that (and the knowledge of which Ween
songs he played and sang on) Meaner continues to haunt our
conciousnesses with the nagging question "Just who the hell is Mean
Ween, REALLY?"
L o s e r
Apparently the long-sought Ween version of Beck's "Loser" does in fact
exist somewhere. Now we just need some loser to dedicate themselves to
digging it up for the rest of us losers.
JKeats
Wonders" that has bands covering songs by other bands that were
expected to be one hit wonders (I guess they were off base with Beck).
If you are resourceful, you can probably find a copy of it
somewhere, though I think it is out of print. If I can ever get my
fucking soundcard to work again, I will encode it to mp3 for you
fuckers when I get back from Vegas.
2)Mystery surrounding Mean Ween? What's the mystery? His name is
Chris and he's a pretty nice guy. Talked to him for a little while at
the vail show.

We all knew that EXCEPT that we were all under the impression that the One Hit
Wonders CD was never released to the public. Are you saying you actually have
the song? If so, I know that all us fuckers would cream our shorts if you'd
encode that one for us.

copies floating around in used resord stores i would imagine. I got
mine at some place on St. Marks Place in the village.

him in Vail and didn't find him to be at all mean. In fact, he was extremely
nice, it was almost sickening. He's just a guy who works like the rest of us
and happens to have some very cool and talented friends. Oh yeah, and he
likes to flip people off and show his ass. But other than that, he's fairly
normal. Mystery solved?
