Z-Rock Hawaii: Ween & the Boredoms
 
Has anyone heard of this album? It came out around 1997 and is a collaboration between members of Ween and Eye from the Boredoms.

How can you not love that?

drrrtyboots 02.23.2008 11:45 AM

If I don't love Ween, I can't love that.

nature scene 02.23.2008 11:47 AM

well... you should love ween

drrrtyboots 02.23.2008 11:49 AM

I love the Boredoms and Eye A LOT but Eye has done so many collaborations by now, many of them not being very impressive, that I can look the other way. Sorry to disappoint. BOREDOMS FOREVER!

I'm more interested in Ween than the Boredoms. I wonder if anyone could find an upload maybe?

nature scene 02.23.2008 12:30 PM

i have some of the songs, but not all of them yet... when i get the rest i'll put it up

atsonicpark 02.23.2008 01:45 PM

Yeah, I heard this, oh... 5 years ago. It's pretty worthless. The first song is pretty good, it has a nice fruity keyboard part, and the cover of that famous rock hit (you know the one) is hilarious. The rest is by far the worst thing Boredoms has ever been involved with in any way, shape, or form. I blame it on Ween. Also, if you're looking for this album, why not just get on soulseek? About a million people have it on there.

Anyway, I suggest you people get everything you can find by Omoide Hatoba (and Ruins-Hatoba) instead of worrying about the disappointing Z-Rock . That's a Boredoms side project worthy of your ears and money 24/7.

nature scene 02.23.2008 01:59 PM

well i'm getting it for ween more than the Boredoms, and soulseek is where I'm getting it from.

I could really care less about some japanese noise rock, but everything that Gener and Deaner touch turns to gold.

batreleaser 02.23.2008 02:16 PM

yknow, ive always had a soft spot for ween. maybe its because the hippy kids in who i went to high school and smoked pot with, ween was probably the only band i could stand that they liked, except for greatful dead who's live alblums i dig , so i ended up listenin to them quite a bit. theyre sure as hell better than phish. i think ill check this out.

nature scene 02.23.2008 02:26 PM

man, the Boredoms guy sounds just like the noise at the end of "Don't Laugh I Love You" off of Ween's first album. pretty awesome

For anyone that's interested, here you go.

Everyneurotic 02.23.2008 09:07 PM

novelty disc.

ween have like 3 songs total that are great, the rest sorry, a very stupid band and always gets on my nerves.

avantgarde1 02.23.2008 09:24 PM

WEEN is in my top 5 of WORST BANDS OF ALL TIME! and i've yet to meet a fan of theirs that's not an asshole.

novelty disc indeed. but i think ween is one of the most creative and unique bands out there. they do what they want and don't give a shit what anyone else thinks. they put on a fun live show because they really enjoy what they do. that's what rock is all about. on top of it they're good musicians.

concept rock at it's best.



i'm simply brought it up because i know you indie kids like the Boredoms. so i figured, hey why not?

i also really wanted to hear how much you despise Ween. really...

ok?

atsonicpark 02.24.2008 08:11 AM

yeah, ween is shit.

SuperCreep 02.24.2008 11:26 AM

I'm quite shocked at all the Ween hate here. :7(

A Thousand Threads 02.24.2008 11:32 AM

I'm shocked that people actually listen to Ween.

don't be... Ween's music doesn't fit the indie hipster mold, so naturally the majority of people here will think they suck.

A Thousand Threads 02.24.2008 02:19 PM

haha
you are funny

nature scene 02.24.2008 02:20 PM

who was joking?

A Thousand Threads 02.24.2008 02:22 PM

the indie hipster

nature scene 02.24.2008 02:27 PM

you're so clever.

A Thousand Threads 02.24.2008 02:28 PM

if you say so

nature scene 02.24.2008 02:44 PM

i must've touched a nerve....

 

Everyneurotic 02.24.2008 03:02 PM

most indie hipsters love ween.

atsonicpark 02.24.2008 04:50 PM

Throwing around words like "indie hipster" and trying to justify a love of Ween in the same post? That's not going to win any arguments.

Their early tape stuff is KIND OF interesting in a Renaldo and the Loaf-kind-of-way. You know, the goofy vocal nonsense and whatnot. "The Pod" has their most tolerable music. Most of their music is just boring to me though. I can't deny their talent. That doesn't mean I want to listen to them. "Chocolate and Cheese" is one of the worst albums I've heard in my life.

For the record, more than most bands, you pretty much either love or hate Ween. I know plenty of people completely fanatical about them and I know plenty of people who just hate their guts. I'm KINDA indifferent to them -- they don't really BOTHER me, but they still suck.

super_charger 02.24.2008 06:29 PM

I love the Boredoms but EYE ruins the Z-Rock album. It would be an album of good Ween songs if it wasn't for his belching over top them.

Yeah, eye's the best part of the z-rock album.

Since were talking about the only song writing duo to rival Lennon/McCartney then I'm going to have to say no. What I do know is that this album sucks for fans of both Ween and the Boredoms.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Let me introduce myself. My name is Rupert Pupkin. I was born in Clifton, New Jersey... which was not at that time a federal offense. Is there anyone here from Clifton? Oh, good. We can all relax now. I'd like to begin by saying... my parents were too poor to afford me a childhood. But the fact is that... no one is allowed to be too poor in Clifton. Once you fall below a certain level... they exile you to Passaic. My parents did put the first two down payments on my childhood. Don't get me wrong, but they did also return me to the hospital as defective. But, like everyone else I grew up in large part thanks to my mother. If she were only here today... I'd say, "Hey, ma, what are you doing here? You've been dead for nine years!" But seriously, you should've seen my mother. She was wonderful. Blonde, beautiful, intelligent, alcoholic. We used to drink milk together after school. Mine was homogenized. Hers was loaded. Once they picked her up for speeding. They clocked her doing 55. All right, but in our garage? And when they tested her... they found out that her alcohol had 2% blood. Ah, but we used to joke together, mom and me... until the tears would stroll down her face... and she would throw up! Yeah, and who would clean it up? Not dad. He was too busy down at O'Grady's... throwing up on his own. Yeah. In fact, until I was 13 I thought throwing up was a sign of maturity. While the other kids were off in the woods sneaking cigarettes... I was hiding behind the house with my fingers down my throat. The only problem was I never got anywhere... until one day my father caught me. Just as he was giving me a final kick in the stomach for luck... I managed to heave all over his new shoes! "That's it", I thought. "I've made it. I'm finally a man!" But as it turned out, I was wrong. That was the only attention my father ever gave me. Yeah, he was usually too busy out in the park playing ball with my sister Rose. But today, I must say thanks to those many hours of practice my sister Rose has grown into a fine man. Me, I wasn't especially interested in athletics. The only exercise I ever got was when the other kids picked on me. Yeah, they used to beat me up once a week... usually Tuesday. And after a while the school worked it into the curriculum. And if you knocked me out, you got extra credit. There was this one kid, poor kid... he was afraid of me. I used to tell him...”Hit me, hit me. What's the matter with you? Don't you want to graduate?" Hey, I was the youngest kid in the history of the school to graduate in traction. But, you know, my only real interest right from the beginning, was show business. Even as a young man, I began at the very top collecting autographs. Now, a lot of you are probably wondering... why Jerry isn't with us tonight. Well, I'll tell you. The fact is he's tied up. I'm the one who tied him. Well, I know you think I'm joking... but, believe me, that's the only way... I could break into show business... by hijacking Jerry Langford. Right now, Jerry is strapped to a chair... somewhere in the middle of the city. Go ahead, laugh. Thank you. I appreciate it. But the fact is, I'm here. Now, tomorrow you'll know I wasn't kidding... and you'll think I was crazy. But, look, I figure it this way. Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime. Thank you. Thank you.

The one thing I'm not joking about is EYE wrecks that Z-rock album.

atsonicpark 02.24.2008 07:42 PM

Hahah.

It's just not a good album, period.

Everyneurotic 02.24.2008 07:52 PM

yamatsuka eye = genius
ween = stoner losers

and i don't particularly hate them, they are just terrible. z-rock hawaii is still pretty weak.
