Boognish Be Praised!

I like Ween. When I'm lost for words trying to describe my sound after somebody asks me the inevitable question, I often defer to "A bit like Ween". It's a gross misrepresentation but to anyone who likes and knows Ween it speaks volumes. Ween don't fit into a pigeon-holed genre and neither do I (I think). Ween make (sadly, made) the music they wanted to make and didn't compromise. Truly admirable.

So why am I prattling on about Ween? I heard a rumor there was a Ween tribute album in the making and I want to be involved. I set out to record two of my favourite Ween songs (that i thought I hopefully won't ruin) and here they are!

I love recording. I've always paid close attention to the recording process when the bands I've played with were in a real studio - and since moving to Melbourne in 1996 I've been lucky enough to have recorded in many of Melbourne's finest. At home I've always tinkered with recording but for me it's more about delivering a finished sounding song rather than achieving a pure and technically "correct" sound.
