I worked late tonight, and I'm wicked tired. So here's a song by Ween. It's rad.
I'm real tired right now, and I haven't posted an mp3 for the day, so here we go! I've always dug this track (it's not really a song in the straight definition of the word, but if that matters to you, you suck) -- it's just so goofy and quotable. Granted, the bulk of the lyrics are variations on "HEY FAT BOY! ASSHOLE! C'MERE! YOU KILLED MY MOTHER! I KILL YOU!!", but when do those words NOT come in handy, huh? It's from the album Pure Guava, which is a pretty good one, though it took me a bit of warming up to, due to the sound-quality not being the best. But it's still pretty rad, and, hey, it's got a fat boy and threats of murder! What more can you ask for?
ALSO -- I'm not gonig to do it now, because I'm tired, but probably tomorrow, I'm going to go through here and provide Amazon Links to the albums from which you can buy all the tracks. At least the ones that aren't real rare or anything. They'll probably be affiliated up, so either a) You can buy them and I'll get a kickback or b) You can follow the link, add it to your wishlist, then log out and restart your browser or some such and buy the record without giving me a kickback. That's fine too. I do not expect/request/etc. the Amazonian Kickbacks, I just wanna make it so y'all can maybe actually BUY these records which I'm plugging. Because, seriously, they're all pretty damn rad albums and worth the purchase. And, hey, supporting artists is a good thing, because it lets them make more art and not wind up workin' in a gas station.
So, hooray for that!
This is a really, really pretty Ween song.
I'm not sure if it's my favorite Ween song, but it's up there.
It's one I can listen to over and over. It's just so softly sad
and beautiful. The imagery is excellent as are the string
arrangement at the end of the song. A lovely song about the
collapse of a relationship -- Ween's awfully good at those. I
mean, check out "Baby Bitch", "Birthday Boy" and "If You Could Save
Yourself, You'd Save Us All". Just wonderful, gorgeous
music. This one seems a little less personal as those songs,
though -- more of a generalized story rather than one directly from
Gener's life, but I could be wrong on that.
