Ween, Modest Mouse, Dinosaur Jr., Meat Puppets

These guys are the kings of junk rock. That's what I like to call it anyway. It's a compliment. I don't know what made me think of Ween now. Sometimes it's probably better not to think of Ween. But I did and I thought of this song. Actually I was thinking of another Ween song, their tribute to Prince—or maybe it's their parody of the royal one's music. If you want a real tribute song though, watch and listen to the vid after "Push th' Little Daisies". For all you Van Halen fans.





If you like song off the CD, then you'll enjoy this live version. If not (or if you don't know Modest Mouse), well, you'll really hate this, I would imagine. But if you're willing to give them a try then check the following video. I threw in "Willful Suspension of Disbelief" for the heck of it. Why not.







Dinosaur Jr. on some British show playing "Start Choppin'". I'm sorry, but there's something odd about this. Especially with the ridiculous quasi psychedelic background effects. J. Mascis saves it, however, with one of his patented "junky" guitar solos.



Does anyone remember these guys, the Meat Puppets? I barely did. Seriously though, some of the better alternative rock from the time. There was always a hill-billy quality, for lack of a better term, to their music. And yet it still somehow worked. ;) In large part because of Curt Kirkwood's guitar playing and those hooky riffs!
