    Ep. 63: The Chris Harford Interview

    If you are a fan of the scene you are most likely going to come across this gentleman pretty soon upon hanging out for a bit, but unless you dive deep you won't know Chris. Talk about prolific, Chris Harford has been making amazing music since his high school days with no signs of stopping soon. Not only does he write, record and produce his own music, he also runs his own record label supporting other awesome independent artists and collaborators. You could keep digging into this guy's career all day and still not get to everything! For the sake of sanity, we stuck to a few points for this interview, and it will take us awhile to unpack all of these! We spoke with Chris about his early bands, including the cult favorite Three Colors, which he started in college with some fellow art students. The seminal album "Be Headed" that just happens to be the major label debut of some of our other musical friends being released in 1992. The independent record label "Soul Selects" that Chris and his friends started in the 80's and still run to this day. Living with Andrew Weiss and Sim Cain while the early Ween albums were being made, and Chris explains to everyone once and for all what the hell the "Zion House of Flesh" actually is!! Chris explains what it was like to be produced by Mickey and working on the Chocodog Records release of his record "Looking out for Number 6"; a true anomaly among the Chocodog and Schnitzel projects. We also talk about some of the really cool current projects that Chris has worked on within the last few years; like the Birdfeeder collaboration with Mark Mulcahy of Polaris and Miracle Legion. The very groovy instrumental record he made with the Philly based Jazz band Channel Collective, and his travels with Paul Muldoon and the rock-poetry group Rogue Oliphant. Please go to Soul Selects.com to see all of the available releases by the record label, and Chris Harford.com to download all of the catalog releases by Chris and his constantly evolving Band of Changes. Join us on Patreon.com for some more fun and exclusive material including the entire Chris interview where we discuss Chris' Dub project Blanc du Blanc, his thoughts on vinyl vs and download, and some other fun surprises! Also live is a new episode of Shane's Ween Vinyl featuring the Chris Album "Looking out for Number 6", its a cool mini-sode talking about the albums vinyl and some fun facts about the CD compared to the record. Thank You and Please enjoy!!!

    Ep. 62: 4/28/2004, The Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall, Levittown, PA

    Ep. 62: 4/28/2004, The Fraternal Order of Eagles Hall, Levittown, PA Let’s turn the page to a new year for Ween as we discuss the first show played in 2004, and of course, it’s a banger. Coming off of a long touring year in 2003, the band had taken a few months off and is now gearing up for a long weekend, and later a busy Summer and Fall. So what could be better than a relatively small “warm up” show? A “warm up” show for charity, that’s what! The “FOE” or Fraternal Order of Eagles make a habit of doing such good deeds around the Fairless Hills and Levittown area, let’s team up. This show was a benefit to raise money for the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life. It feels good to give to a good cause, especially when Ween is involved! In addition to the ticket sales, there was also specific shirts made for the night, raffle tickets sold, and of course….BEER!! This is going to be sweet. The band is back to being tight as hell, and breaks out some sweet picks like “Captain”, “Reggaejunkiejew”, “Marble Tulip Juicy Tree”, and more! Grab your solo cup and join Shane and Rory for their discussion of the first Ween show of 04, and for a good cause! Enjoy!

    Well, so far this has turned out to be a rough year for Ween fans. But what do we do when times are bad? We do what we always do, we come together as a family. We would like to take you back to a time that was not so innocent either, but we know now that this part of the story was not the end, and although dark at the time, we can now see that there was light on the other side. Please join us for our full retrospective on Ween's brilliant album "Quebec" and the subsequent Caesar Demos. We hope you enjoy the episode, and no matter what happens we will always love listening to, and talking about music. Maximum love from both of us, Shane and Rory.

    Ep. 61: Quebec and The Caesar Demos

    Well, its been over 20 years since the monumental 2nd to last Ween studio album launched into the heads of the unexpecting public. Songs from this record seem to keep popping up over the years since in some of the most unexpected places. Why? What is it about Quebec that keeps all of us heads coming back and screaming for after all these years? We dive into the time period, the songs, the credits, the live performances and stats, and of course, The Caesar Demos! This may be the only set of songs to accompany a studio release to come straight from the band. These included almost all of the songs from Quebec, plus a number of other amazing songs that made it into the Ween live show, and a few others that have latched onto the flam and have not let go. Please enjoy our full review and discussion of the Ween jewels that are Quebec, and the Caesar Demos.

    Ep 60: 11/01/2003, Roseland Ballroom, New York, NY

    Wow, New York City, just like I pictured it.... skyscrapers, and ...everything. Thats right, the big apple, the city so nice... all that jazz. Ween brings the funk and the punk for what we are deeming "The Live In Chicago Tour" of Fall 2003. Just days before the three night stand when Live in Chicago was recorded, the shows of fall 2003 are underway. Believe it or not, this is the only time the band blazed the legendary Roseland Ballroom in the heart of Manhattan. Just months after the release of the album Quebec, the band is still breaking out some songs that have only been heard a few times since they debuted like "Hey There Fancy Pants", and a lesser known beauty; "The Argus". Plus, as we had discussed in some of our other episodes about shows from the year, the acoustic guitars get dusted off along with a country album song "Help me Scrape the Mucus off my Brain". As if that is not enough, did someone say Zeppelin? Oh yeah they did! This would be essentially the only time in the groups history that "All of my Love" is breathed into the universe. Join us as we discuss the show and the trip which also includes posters, spending time in the city searching for sites which should be there, and taking the old travel standby, the bus! Enjoy!

    Ep 59: 08/09/2003, Penn's Landing Festival Pier, Philadelphia, PA.

    Welcome to another waltz down memory lane where yet again we return to the auspicious year 2003. 2003 was perhaps Ween’s most awesomely prolific year and the show we’re covering for this episode certainly did nothing but add to the legend. You see, we’re going back to August 8th and the Quebec tour finale at Festival Pier in Philadelphia. What a time to be alive! Let me set the scene. Quebec had just been released three days ago. Ween was in full tour mode, and were coming to Philadelphia for the first time in over three years. The theme of the evening was spontaneity, rarities and period pieces, and a little nuevo Ween mixed with some raw-dog Pure Guava action! At the last minute, Ween decided to open with an acoustic mini-set. It was amazing! They opened with a beautiful Birthday Boy, and also wooded out some really fresh and rare Chocolate Town and Tried and True. The wooden set wrapped up with one of the absolute highlights of the evening, a Joppa Road rendition with super clear guitar licks and a Deaner in fine form. Switching to full electric, the band then rocked through a batch of standards, leading into a fast and furious Voodoo Lady. In the midst of the revelry, Deaner busted a string, and then the monitors went out. But Ween would not be dismayed. Stepping aside from the planned setlist, they then broke into an impromptu cover of the great Doors tune Riders on the Storm, the 12th and last time they would ever play the tune. And oh boy, how about Glen? Maybe I’m amazed at the way I love you all the time! The evening had plenty of rock anthems, but didn’t shy away from the jams, with such tracks as Springtheme, Zoloft, one of the best versions of ReggaeJunkieJew ever, and a main set ending with Buenos Tardes Amigo. The show then wrapped up with another all-time highlight, If You Could Save Yourself (You’d Save Us All), which is a song they brought out in the early days of Quebec, but which has only been played twice since 2003. We say a whole ton more than that, so you really should just check out the podcast already! Thanks for listening!

    Ep 58: 08/01/2003, Promowest Pavilion, Columbus, OH.

    Merry Christmas everyone! Not only are we dropping a regular episode, but also check us out over on Patreon for some exclusive shit that is also dropping extra-hot for the holidays! Time marches on, and we continue working our way through the banner year of 2003. We’d just left off with Ween’s Quebec tour opener in Pittsburgh, PA, at Club Laga, and now just a week later, we head west to Columbus, Ohio, for a romping show at the Promowest Pavilion.  It was a hot first day of August, and Ween was dealt a raw hand: the AC had busted on their tour bus. In a stroke of fate, the bandmates apparently chose to deal with this turn of events by getting wasted on the way to Columbus, a long-ass drive in heat with no AC! By show time, it was no bueno. Ween is a mercurial band, and some evenings live on more in infamy. Join us as we recount this moment in Ween history, have a happy holiday and happy new year!
