Nobody's Perfect Baby
You know it was a beautifully silly New Year's Eve when the night's most memorable song came from the Ween album that features what the band calls "the best of the worst."
Gabrielle is track 5 on Shinola Vol. 1.

Who Put the Doggy in the Dog House?
The Gene Ween Band plays in Philly on Tuesday.
Dean's taking a vacation, but apparently Gene's got the itch. He's recruited a few friends and booked a seven show tour.
Ten of us are going. Mostly cousins. And we figure it could take us as much as an hour to drive into the city and park.
And that means we'll need a mix. A mix that'll both prepare us for the show and send us home with a kiss goodnight.
I started working on it today.
The Crash Test Dummies are involved.
Keep a Lid on Things is track 1 on Give Yourself a Hand.
