ween's "ocean man" is used in a volkswagon ad. don't see the connection really...
also pizza hut hired ween to do a commercial but then rejected the jingle (loosely called 'where the cheese at?') prompting ween to remix and re-title it as 'where the mutha fuckin' cheese at?'
lol.

For whatever reason, that's an odd set-up (MGMT into Ween) i see yer point. obviously ween trends from pop towards hardcore (although they can hit a ton of genres) where as MGMT is (currently) moving from techno dance pop with a twist of acid rock to whatever you want to call the new album (psychedelic surf concepts that are heavy on the down beat? lol.) but i think they have some pretty big similarities too. song writing duo's that have evolved into full bands. a clear refusal to take their music too seriously. and a disinterest in commercial success if it is going to impinge on their creativity. different generations certainly but i think (hope) it works. Luckily the Sasquatch Gods have deemed it fit to have some other artists to mix it up for others. absolutely. there is plenty for everyone. i don't think anyone should necessarily agree with me or like ween or like the new MGMT album or like anything else they don't.

I think you raise many interesting points here. thnx. These essentially were albums that had to grow on you, and for that reason I find myself playing more of these tracks than of the debuts. this happens to me with most of my fav music. If anything they're likely going to play the 7:30 spot on the mainstage, opening for ween *sigh* um, ween *rules* IMO

i also think saying MGMT does not belong at the festival is moronic.
everyone has their own taste.
there are a number of bands in the line-up that i think suck balls but i'm not going to rip them by name or say they shouldn't be there.
other people like them and that's fine.
their are plenty of bands in the line-up that interest me. i would never expect to like every band that gets signed up for this type of event.

You argue like you are in junior high school. These forum boards are brutally slow and boring and for a minute I thought maybe an opinion could spark some genuine conversation about the festival. Guess what pal, posting hundreds of times doesn't make your opinion more valid than mine. Instead of just mocking what I say "ya throw them on the yeti at noon" (which I never said) or just saying that I lack knowledge to have that opinion, shows you have some growing up to do. TBH I am not even going to be there on the day in question and couldn't really care less when MGMT plays but I think these boards could use some real discussions about music. i have some real discussion points about the new MGMT album. it is a pretty sophisticated album that demands alot from the listener. it grows on you if you give it time and keep an open mind. many people (not on just this board) are dismissing at first listen. this is sort of missing the point. it seems to me that MGMT is very determined not to be a techno single hit oriented dance band. interestingly, their label was not particularly enthusiastic about this album because they knew it wouldn't have the huge mainstream appeal of "oracular" and they were right. i personally think it is admirable that the band eschewed hits in favor of a concept album. not something you see too much these days. the album has some very interesting and complex musical ideas although it does overreach at times.

Most people have prob heard but MGMT is streaming their new album 'Congratulations' online: www.whoismgmt.com/IMO - its a strong sophomore (not really) effort that needs a few listens to fully reveal itself.

Has Ween ever played the Gorge before? If not then i'm assuming we will be in for a long show on Monday. no they have not played this venue. i also assume they will be pumped to rip a great show. the gorge usually brings out the best in people. If they play "Baby Bitch" I will FLIP OUT! Anyone know if they ever play it live? yes, they play that live pretty frequently.

^ 100% agree with you about the more recent albums. I am not a massive Ween fan by any means but I love their more recent stuff as it is a bit more "rock" based. Quebec and White Pepper have some serious rock n' roll between the two (The Grobe, Gonna Be a Long Night, Transdermal Celebration, Stroker Ace, I Don't Want It). The older stuff is pretty odd though, but I cannot wait to see how it comes across live. Truly Excited! if you like their harder rocking stuff (all the tunes you mentioned are good examples) expect to hear a bunch of it. they tend to play their more rowdy tunes live for sure. the example (She Fuck Me) i posted above is actually not something they play at gigs very often. just a good example of how the band has evolved. i don't expect any acoustic tunes at sasquatch.

first off i'd like to say that Ween ROCKS and that they are a supreme choice to close a festival w/ a fairly impressive lineup. a nice change from the lame bumbershoots of the last few years.
for those of you on the thread who haven't heard much Ween and are looking to check 'em out i do have a couple of points:
1. they are WAY different live than studio. especially when it comes to their older material. for example, check out these two versions of the early Ween song She Fucks Me:
studio (from the album The Pod):
live (chicago 2003):
I wouldn't judge them based only on their studio stuff or you are jumping the gun.
2. Their recent albums (by I which mean pretty much everything from Chocolate and Cheese forward) demonstrate astounding range (both across genres and through a blend of goofy fun with serious musical composition). A few uninformed idiots tend to think of these guys as a novelty act. Don't be naive. These guys can write songs and rock out with the best of them.
