Show Notes
The God Ween Evan team invites you to a celebration of the season in God Ween Evan's first annual Holiday Spectacular. On the one year anniversary of that fateful day when Ween and God Ween Evan played the Capitol Theater in Port Chester, this episode marks the return of the prodigal son Evan, and is brimming with Ween's holiday music, clever ideas for holiday gifts (such as a Boog on a Moog!) and plenty of seasonal cheer to go around. Happy Holidays all, and to all a Brown Night... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

God Ween Evan continues its periodic interview series, where someone in the world of Ween talks with the GWE team. This time, Will Nunziata interviews former Ween manager Dave Ayers, a longtime A&R man who signed Ween to TwinTone Records. In this episode, Ayers recounts stories from when he first met the boys up until the release of Chocolate & Cheese. Ayers is a titan in the music business, signing and managing such acts as Soul Asylum, Uncle Tupelo, Wilco, Helmet, TV on the Radio, The Black Keys, St Vincent, Kamasi Washington, and Geese (just to name a few!). He also wrote an Air America show with Rachel Maddow, Lizz Winstead and Chuck D. Listen in as Ayers recounts stories from Ween’s early days, ones about the original cover art and album title for what would become God Ween Satan, or the incredible way in which Dean and Gene had him initially listen to The Pod, or the unbelievable story about Gener’s wedding in Las Vegas, and much more.

Ed has co-writing/publishing credit on the renowned Ween classic "Freedom of 76," and has contributed to a slew of other Ween songs including "I'll Miss You" and "Champagne Jam."

For the second instalment of our Cover it With Gas and Set on Fire Ween cover series we turn to Eli Schwab and the rest of the Can I Thwipp It Boys (Manus Dunbar and Zach Johnson) for a truly inspired take on the deepest of Ween cuts, "Put Your Boobs On." Members of the Ween community will know Eli from his incredible work with the Weenzine but may not be aware of his lyrical stylings. He and Manus, an accomplished MC in his own right, deliver verses drenched in Ween imagery and comical cosmic punchlines all anchored by Zach's silky but ugent production, a beat Dr. Dre would be proud to call his own. So come take a ride with us, and put your motherfucking boobs on!
God Ween Evan is back with a new Ween cover series we are calling Cover It With Gas & Set It On Fire! We put out the call to the Ween fan community and received numerous kick ass Ween covers, but none more inspired than our first selection: Eli Wing's "Tender Situation." Eli Wing is a Ween fan and musician based in the Netherlands who records under the name Hushed Hands and his take on Ween’s beloved bromance ballad "Tender Situation" is ethereal and devastatingly beautiful. Please enjoy his effort and our lovely conversation.
