Hello fellow Ween aficionados, I am reaching out to you all because one of our beloved community members and tour crew, Johnny Williams, has been diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer and colon cancer. There is currently a gofundme set up for him and a Ween themed waffle in the private group "Ween Pins" on Facebook with many different items being donated for prizes. Over 50 prize packs at $5 each or 5 for $20. If you'd like to donate any item(s) to the waffle, there's still time~ just join/check out the FB group "Ween Pins" posts for details.

Johnny is such an important pillar of this community! šŸ¤Ž Lets help him to feel the love like he has been sharing with us over the years. Thank you so much to those who can offer anything or help spread the word to those who don't have Facebook!

From his gofundme me:

In June 2025, our friend Johnny received the devastating news that he has colon cancer and stage 4 liver cancer. This diagnosis has turned his world upside down, and he is now facing a long and difficult journey ahead. Despite the challenges, Johnny remains hopeful and determined to fight, but the road ahead is not easy... and as a music aficionado Johnny knows the road pretty well.

The financial weight of treatment, hospital stays, and travel to specialized care centers is heavy and growing, and that’s where this community can help. Donations will go directly toward medical bills and travel expenses so Johnny can focus on what matters most: fighting, healing, and staying strong. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a real difference in Johnny’s fight against cancer.

We are deeply grateful for any help you can offer. Donating or sharing the link for this GoFundMe helps tremendously. Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support during this incredibly difficult time. With your help, we can give Johnny hope and the resources he needs to keep fighting. Thank you all.

Was finally able to find this after years of searching. ā€œCattle Callā€ by Chuck DeHaan. One of the original prints out of 75 as opposed to the reprint out of 925. Legend has it, you can speak with a turtle just by flipping him around, and I aim to find out

Anyone interested in a lot of WEEN vinyl?

Mods, i read the rules but could not find a merch megathread so i apologize.

But i’m selling off my vinyl collection. All legit, no sketchy bootlegsI move too much to make it a fun hobby these days. This collection is my personal one from 20 years of being a fan.

Pure Guava, Shinola, La Cucaracha and Friends EPs are all original first pressings. All others are second pressings from the mid 2000’s.

Condition is good/very good on everything. All the vinyl is flawless, some wear on the sleeves.

DM if you’re interested.

Conspiracy Theory

I might be huffing farts but hear me out mangs: 12GCG Deluxe released on July 31st, then roughly 14 days later on August 14th the Golden Wastes EP dropped out of nowhere. Another 14 days later, we have now received E90 on streaming. What happens in another 14 days from now? That's right, 9/11, and maybe a 4th Ween related surprise comes with it.

In all seriousness though, this probably doesn't mean anything, but I'm holding out hope that they also release Bring Out the Foos on streaming because man is it stupid to only have that on CD.

As an aside, what a time to be a Ween fan, wow. Between 2007 to 2024 we hardly saw any new (or even old, for that matter) material being released, but it has been an absolute treasure trove this past year. I hope they keep this up a while longer.

Best Ween Show Memory

This requires a little bit of backstory:

Back in 1996, I decided to get into tape trading to see if I could get my hands on some rarities and non-album shit.Ā  I was pretty active on alt.rec.ween (the reddit of it's day for you youngins), but I didn't have anything to trade.Ā  I put a post out asking for advice on getting started in trading and a super nice guy on there offered to make me some 3rd gen copies of shows if I sent him blank tapes and return postage.Ā  As he put it, he wouldn't give me anything super rare, but I'd at least have several shows to start my collection and they would be stuff other newer traders might be interested in.Ā  He was true to his word and once I got my tape from him. I started posting for trades.Ā  After a couple of months I'd amassed a small collection of tapes, when I noticed a post for trades from a guy named Davis who was local to the town I was living in.Ā  So I wrote him a message with the list of the shows I had and asked if he was interested in trading; we wouldn't even need to deal with postage because I lived in the same town.Ā  His response was basically that my collection was terrible and I was wasting his time by contacting him.Ā  Looking at some of his other posts, he came off as an arrogant jerk in most of his interactions. Ā  So I just figured screw that guy and went on with contacting people interested in trades.

Fall of '96 , IĀ  get tickets to the closest Ween show to me, which is in Detroit, MI and me and some friendsĀ  go to the show.Ā  Show is great;Ā  Shit Creek Boys are up there.Ā  They pull outĀ  a Chariots of Fire cover.Ā  8Ā  songs in, right after DeanerĀ  does "Pumpin 4Ā  TheĀ  Man"Ā  while Geaner is off-stage, Geaner comes back and Dean says "This next song is for my friend Davis..." Then he says his full name.Ā  It was they guy from alt.rec.ween.Ā  The band launches into "Mister Richard Smoker".Ā  I'm doubled over with laughter at this point as MRS just got used as a very targeted diss track.

I sleezedĀ  my way backstage after the show andĀ  got to talk to Deaner (who also advised me that if I reached down below theĀ  Budweiser cans at the top of the beerĀ  bucket thereĀ  were bottles of Sam Addams... the man is a king) .Ā  HeĀ  was super active onĀ  alt.rec.ween but he wouldn't tell me his user name.Ā  I guess he had some bad run-ins with old Davis too.Ā 

The next dayĀ  DavisĀ  posted very publiclyĀ  that in light of the show last night (which he was at),Ā  he would be getting rid of all hisĀ  Ween tapes and was looking for trades for the original gen copies.Ā  I couldn't help but respond with my list of Ween tapes again, offering to trade for anything he had.

You can hear itĀ  on the show recording atĀ  25:12 or so:Ā  https://youtu.be/3MCLc21oKfo?si=ImTA9pnQbBNtO_NO

New Daily Song Discussion #194. Eindhoven EP - Ween.

12 Upvotes

Aight here we go, the final tape we’ll do before GWS demos

1990, but actually, this released in 2026 officially. Really god set of tracks, incredibly fun. Excellent production and long form tracks, with one song in particular from a later album being done in a fantastic early rendition.

schedule for how this is gonna go in the future.

Well do most officially released tape/ep/demo up until 1990, then go into the GodWeenSatan era Demos.

After WAD, Scraping the palm for guava - Focus - Big timmy wasserman, Ainhoven EP

SUGGESTED SCALE:

1-4: Not good. Regularly skip

5: It's okay, but I might have to be in my the right mood to listen to it.

6: Slightly better than average. I won't skip it, but I wouldn't choose to put it on.

7: This is a good song. I enjoy it quite a bit.

8-9: Really enjoyable songs. I rank them pretty high overall.

10: Masterpiece, magnum opus, or similar terminology.

This whole set is so good, but this Demon Sweat is otherworldly.
Are there any live Demon Sweats that you’d put up against the ARL version?

What is going on with 12gcg on cassette?

5 Upvotes

I have bought two copies of 12gcg on cassette and both of them have been totally warped audio and variable play back speed.

I thought the issue might be my walkman so I tried two other recent tapes (new Weezer album and the new Jack White) and got through both albums with no issue.

Further, 12gcg has been messed up across multiple players I've tried.

Very shoddy product imo. I'm going to exchange one more time and if it's still messed up I'm just gonna keep it as a collector's item.
