4.Around this time, Gene also released his own tape, Synthetic Socks, which featured Dean on a few songs.Ween was often compared in their early years to other offbeat artists such as Frank Zappa and They Might Be Giants though they would always eschew such comparisons.The cover of The Pod used the cover of the 1975 Leonard Cohen album, The Best of Leonard Cohen, but with the head of Mean Ween (sometime bassist Chris Williams) wearing the mask, pasted onto that of Cohen.The "Freedom of '76" music video was directed by Spike Jonze.Ween had been using DAT tapes to provide backings for their songs).The first is that it refers to the dozen veteran Nashville studio musicians who played on the album."Piss Up a Rope" single) they decided not to rename it.Broadway show tunes, and especially progressive rock.Craters of the Sac (1999), presented by Dean for online download and free trade.The track "Even If You Don't" was made into a music video directed by the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone.Shortly after White Pepper Ween started the internet radiostation WeenRadio, which was awarded 3rd best internet music site by Rolling Stone.According to Dean Ween, once the album was completed, Elektra realized the sales potential of the CD and denied Ween the right to release it through Chocodog.Later, Ween released the first official Chocodog album, Live in Toronto (a live recording from the 1996 tour, in which Ween performed with The Shit Creek Boys).In 2004, they released Live in Chicago, a DVD and CD set that compiled tracks from three energetic live performances.In February of 2006, they rented an old farmhouse and converted it into a working studio.As of March 2007, they are recording final versions of what they have said to be about 20 songs.Dean Ween said the EP will be "The ultimate party record, filled with good beats and good times.October 23, 2007 on Rounder Records, placing them on the same label as fellow alternative rock duo They Might Be Giants.Miscellaneous works
Ween has participated in various outside collaborations over the years.Ween had been asked to write a theme song for Greg the Bunny which was rejected.Dean made significant contributions to two projects by his friend Josh Homme: The Desert Sessions and Queens of the Stone Age.On the critically successful 2002 Homme album Songs for the Deaf, Dean played guitar on "Mosquito Song", "Gonna Leave You", and "Six Shooter"."Where'd the Cheese Go?".True to form (and somewhat indignant), Ween rerecorded the same song with new lyrics as "Where'd the Motherfuckin' Cheese Go At?".Both versions are available here.In 2003, "Ocean Man" from The Mollusk reappeared on television when Honda used the song in an advertisement for its 2004 Civic Coupe.In 2004, the song appeared during the ending credits of The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie.In 2005, "Oh My Dear (Falling in Love)", from The Pod, appeared in the film The Motel as the title song.In 2007, "It's Gonna Be A Long Night" from quebec was featured as the theme song for the launch of internet TV channel RawVegas.Official website
