  • Ween Shines On
    Ween shines on By: Beth Mechum, Staff Writer Issue date: 9/21/06 Section: Diversions Ween - Shinola Vol. 1 (2.5 stars) Ween is a lot like caviar - it's an acquired taste. "It's been done before" is not usually said about the eclectic duo that is Ween. But this time, it's true. Dean and Gene Ween are rereleasing their Shinola Vol. 1, which first came out in 2005. It includes outtakes, alternate versions and B-Sides. Previously unreleased tracks are also promised, but there are none to be seen. In simple terms, Ween is weird. In more flattering terms, Ween is eclectic. It's hard to make a definitive statement on Shinola. Every song on the album is different than the one before. Some are good, some are bad and some are questionable. From the first song, "Tastes Good On Th' Bun," it's easy to assume Ween is a psychedelic, trippy band, but the next song, "Boys Club," sounds ridiculously poppy. Ween does not discriminate genres. It loves them all. On Shinola the poppy songs do come out sounding better than the psychedelic ones. When they want to show it, the Ween boys do have talented voices. Sometimes it seems like Ween is challenging its fans to like everything it does. "Big Fat F--k" is a pointless song, and fans should feel cheated that it was included. It's not a question of whether Ween is an interesting and enjoyable band - some songs just need to be skipped. There are just enough good songs on Shinola to support Ween's semiartistic experiments.

  • 2015 Interview.Pdf
    Interview from Spew, #87 February 2015 (originally published in abridged form) 2014’s triple disc behemoth Harshest Realm is the self-titled debut release of a musical project spearheaded by one Garret Kriston, a Chicago based musician whose formative years were split between formal studies and basement recording before toiling within the city’s DIY/punk scene. Now he has emerged with a sprawling document of what surely is a vast arsenal of artistic capabilities. Harshest Realm is now available via Coolatta Lounge CDs, along with fellow traveler Marshall Stacks’s latest jammers Lost in Sim City and the Snake Eyes/Point Blank single. ___________________________________________ Let’s start by giving the folks at home some background information. I’m particularly interested in learning how your relationship with music has developed over the years, so as to better understand where the music on the Harshest Realm album came from. No problem. I’m going to not hold back from rattling off influences and favorites, if that’s okay. Totally. The more the merrier. I was born at home on March 3rd, 1990 in Oak Park, down the street from Chicago’s west side, near Harlem between Harrison and Roosevelt. My earliest memory of music was seeing archival footage of The Beatles playing on the Ed Sullivan Show, which made playing guitar in a band and singing original songs seem like the most appealing activity in existence. I might have been two going on three, and I don’t remember much else from then besides puking in my crib and seeing carrots in it (the puke.) My older brother was discovering “classic rock,” so there were rock related bootleg VHS tapes in the house that would get played over and over.

Take note that this is not the same thing as a collection of officially released non-LP tracks and B-sides — in fact, on this first volume, there are no previously released tracks at all, so anybody expecting this to be a clearing house for such terrific compilation-only cuts as "Beacon Light" (from the X-Files movie soundtrack), or B-sides like "Who Dat," or oddities as their rejected Pizza Hut commercial "Where'd the Cheese Go?" will be disappointed.

Due to the use of the unconventional instrument of the violin, Violon Sneha was the first hit for this ​ country’s biggest star (*) Sinn Sisamouth.
