Gabrielle (by Ween)

ok so. i was hoping to build up some sort of complete collection in response to this request but unfortunately it's a bit of a needle and haystack situation....youtube still doesn't really have an easy way to find all of a channel's comments. the only other comment of his i've saved a screenshot of is this one, on "Cold Blows the Wind"

so instead i'll just link both of his channels that i found. mild NSFW warning for some of the thumbnails and also the header on the BTFishing one....

From the new issue of Mean Magaizne (http://www.meanmag.com):

Mean: There’s the obvious similarities between Ween and South Park...

Matt: (mocking) Two bands of gay friends. Yes, um, the obvious similarities: "You’re all gay."

When did you guys meet?

Matt: When we did the Orgazmo record, and they did a little number for

Trey’s master work, and we sent them a scene where Orgazmo goes out and

tests the Orgazmo ray. We gave them very little direction, and we said

make it sound super gay, and they came back with this thing that was

just the most perfect fucking thing and the best part of the movie.

That’s when we met.

You guys are in a band called DVDA. Will you ever collaborate with Ween?

Trey: We really suck.

Matt: Yeah, we shouldn’t really talk about that.

You have to let the people know about “Fuck That Guy From Bush” and “I

am Chewbacca.”

Trey: Shut up!

Matt: Trey and I are trying to get the rights to this movie called

Megaforce, which is this shitty movie from the 80’s, and we were going

to talk to Ween about doing the soundtrack.

Gene: Are you going to remake it?

Matt: No, we want to do Megaforce II, like 20 years later. Have you guys

ever seen that movie?

Gene: No, what’s it about?

Matt: It’s the super lamest movie ever made.

Trey: It’s about motorcycles that can fly.

Matt: The big line in the ending is, “Good guys always win...even in the

80’s”.

Trey and Matt, what was your first Ween album?

Trey: My first one was Chocolate and Cheese, the one with the chocolate

titties on the cover.

Whose idea was that?

Gene: It was actually a bastardization. We were trying to get a gay

sailor to wear that championship belt. This is a true story. I think we

even got to the part of casting the guy, then Elektra got cold feet.  We

had already had the belt made by this guy who makes heavyweight prize

title fight belts. So, we just ended up getting the next best thing,

which was a large-breasted model.

Dean: It was actually us. We weren’t man enough to do it.

Matt: Yeah, only someone truly gay would do that.

Gene: Totally.

What do you think about the Smurfs?

Matt: Fuck the Smurfs.

Trey: It’s not cool to talk about the Smurfs anymore. I think there’s an

indie movie that analyzes the Smurfs that you should check out. What’s

up with “Ice Castles”, the instrumental on the new album?

Gene: It’s was called “The Baroque Jam”, but it looked so stupid written

down. None of us would listen to a song called “The Baroque Jam.” It was

named that all the way to the mastering sessions, then it was called

“The Anal Plump Fairies,” then we changed it again to “Ice Castles,”

which was a movie. It’s a pretty bad title.

Trey: I heard a couple of these songs when you last played out here.

Dean: We started playing a lot of the new album on our last tour, so

basically we have nothing to look forward to on the tour.

Matt: Do you guys have to get in shape before you go touring?

Trey: Matt just saw Perry Farrell on a bike at an athletic center

because he’s going to go on tour.

Matt: It was 8:15 in the morning at Bodies In Motion, or one of those

types of places and there’s Perry with his little headphones on riding a

stationary bike.

Gene: We’re exactly the opposite.

Trey: Perry’s old now. You guys aren’t that old though. You’re the same

age as us, aren’t you?

Gene: I’m 29.

Dean: I’m about to turn 30.

Matt: Perry’s like almost 40, so he has to like you know...

Gene: My pre-tour routine is finding all the Valium and Xanax that I can

find...Percadan.

Matt: Mickey’s turning 30?

Dean: No, I am.

Trey: Are you bummed about it?

Dean: No, I’m not. It’s fine. I’m going to Jamaica, so I’m going to be

wasted.

Trey: I was in Hawaii for mine, and everyone’s like, “You know, it’ll

suck, but then you’ll be psyched to be 30,” and it’s been like three

months, and I’m really not psyched to be 30. Maybe you have to wait until you’re 40, and then you’re like, “You know I was psyched when I

was 30.”

Gene: I’m curious about DVDA. Is there going to be a proper release?

Trey: We had a sweet gig actually at Sundance, and we played for like

2,000 people. We played a song called, “Robert Redford Fucks Babies,”

cause you know that’s his thing.

Dean: How did that go over?

Trey: It went over really well. We played with Les Claypool’s Holy

Mackerel, and it was really fun. We would love to just be a band and not

do this fucking cartoon shit anymore, but we’re just sort of locked in

and we can’t get out of it.

Matt: When we get some stuff on tape I’ll send it to you guys. Some of

the stuff will definitely remind you of you guys, but not as good. Like

you guys when you were like 14. You guys when you were in 8th grade.

Trey: Was this the longest you guys took on an album?

Gene: This record’s been done for a while, but we actually intentionally

pushed it back because we didn’t have our shit together.

What were you guys doing in your hiatus?

Gene: Having babies.

Dean: Yeah, I have a kid. A little 14-month-old.

Matt: What do you think about Steely Dan coming out with a new record.

How much does that piss you off?

Gene: No, I bough it actually! It’s not very good. I’m pretty down with

Steely Dan though. When I was a kid, they were the measuring stick for

everything that sucked. I hated them more than anything, and now I thing

I’m getting old.

Dean: Same with me, it’s scary.

Matt: Yeah, I’m where you were when you were little.

What do you guys think about Night Ranger?

Matt: I don’t really think a lot about Night Ranger.

Gene: They’re right up there with the Smurfs.

I’m going to step back into the corner now.

Matt: (laughing) Yeah, it’s like early 80’s guy keeps stepping in and

asking fucked up questions. "What do you think about Jan Hammer?"

Trey: The question Matt and I always get is, “Are you guys starting to

hate each other now?” Do they ask you if you fight, and shit like that?

Dean: No, people are afraid to ask us that question.

Gene: That’s cause they want you to fight and hate each other.

Matt: Trey and I have never really gotten in a fight.

Trey: You guys have known each other since junior high, right?

Gene: Yeah, 8th grade.

Matt: So, do you guys ever get into fights?

Dean: No, we’re in psychotherapy.

Trey: It’s bullshit. Everyone asks us if we hate each other, and if we

say no, then they think we’re gay. Then they’re sure we’re gay because

we’ve been friends since we were 18 or 19.

Have any of you ever seriously sought group counseling?

Dean: No, Gene and I are just gay. There’s a lot of cocksucking.

Gene: The whole key to long relationships is communication. Well, we’re

exactly the opposite—we don’t talk about any of the problem areas and

nothing gets done. That’s kind of how we do it.

Matt: That sounds familiar actually.

Gene: It just builds and builds.

Matt: If you don’t start the communication it doesn’t need to go there.

It just builds and builds and it shapes you both into bitter, horrible

people. I think once Trey and I fuck, we’ll be much better friends. We

just gotta all start fucking. That’s what we should tell those guys who ask if we fight.

Trey: “Yeah, we fucked. You know, it was empty but since we’ve done it,

we’ve become a lot better and closer friends."

Hello.

We are testing out an optional setting to shorten long posts on the dashboard. We’re initially rolling this feature out to a smaller number of you on web and iOS starting today, March 28, with an Android release to follow soon. We realize this is a significant change to how you interact with your dash. So this will be an optional feature you can easily turn off anytime by visiting your dashboard settings and toggling “Shorten long posts” off.

What does this mean?

Long posts can crowd your dashboard. Some of you find them so annoying that you filter out the tag #long post. This means you could be missing out on posts you might love that also happen to be tagged as #long post. This setting shortens posts to offer a content preview instead—with the option to unfurl the full post by clicking “Expand” on web, or opening the post in a new screen by tapping “View Post” on iOS and Android. Here is a preview of how your dashboard will now appear on web before expanding the full post.

SIKE! YOU JUST GOT TOTALLY BYRNED!!!!! LOL!!!!! BYRNED!!!

Oh.
