Apologies, Ween fans I guess I was unconsciously participating in that weird anti-Gener thing that was going around last year, and indeed might be still for all I know. However you feel about Weens breakup and the half-great shows being put on by Freeman and Melchiondo in their individual incarnations -- and it is a little like the famous conjoined circus twins, each rendered significantly less by their separation -- you cant deny that Freeman, at least, has put out a tremendous eponymous record, and that his new shows are full of joy and songcraft and plenty of rock and roll. Heres a fine example from last year in Los Angeles: the new tunes sound great, and the old tunes probably sound even better. To say this stuff would have sounded best of all with Dreiwitz and McClelland, and particularly with Coleman and Deaner, is perhaps to miss the point. Enjoy what weve got, folks -- were lucky to have it. This sounds not-great, but pretty good its got some obnoxious crowd chatter, mostly limited to between-songs. Check the sample if youre unsure, but I think youll dig it. Share, convert, post, do what you want -- but please support Gener when he comes around, and buy his records and his t-shirts and whatever else hes putting out there. And cut him a break, please: hes wonderful, and we love him, and we want him to be happy and healthy and churning out tremendous songs for us, with whatever band, for a long time to come. Enjoy!
