Ween - Mountains And Buffalos

[@mileswilson3026]

Correct song title is Mountains and Buffalo. B-side to Tried and True 7 inch single. Ween has killer non-album singles, rarities, and demos. Wish they would officially compile and release this stuff...

[@halapenapepper9973]

This song's opening riff is strikingly similar to Neil Young's song, On The Way Home. That song was on Young's 1968 album, Sugar MOUNTAIN. And obviously, Young was in BUFFALO Springfield. Another classic Ween tip of the hat.

[@MattHibbard1993]

Felt the neil vibes big time, and on the way home is one of my favorite songs

[@Rocker6969]

yup was tellin my buddy that the other day. Neil mixed with CSN.

[@triton199]

for whatever reason it struck me as abit like "its all too much" by the beatles at the start

[@markmacdonald7955]

Your theory holds water, for sure.

[@brentbierce4406]

@@triton199 Totally agree. Pretty sure "On the Way home" predates it, though.

[@miningmo1585]

seeing them in st. louis 20 years to the day quebec released. hoping they pull out this one.

Well...we are waiting

[@spliter227]

this song is florescent brown

[@skategoat001]

Sounds like Neil Young a bit. Love all these ween outtakes. Keep up the good work

[@pasthomas]

this sounds like something ween would do.

[@scolveldynasty]

from the quality of this it sounds like it was really close to getting into the album.

[@gasstationar6549]

I’m pretty sure the good quality of the song is because it was a b-side for one of the Quebec singles, maybe Tried and True? Hell if I know

[@Nikkkkkkkkkkk]

@@gasstationar6549 Yup, right on the money.

[@barberitis]

It appeared on the Japaneese release of the album I read somewhere

[@scolveldynasty]

@@barberitis i have since gotten addicted to heroin and am no longer interested in ween

[@platypusrex]

How did this not make Quebec?

[@withoutatrace52]

Seriously

[@Justins_1508]

I feel like the tone isn't quite Quebec

[@jonathanemerling1071]

Fair point. I still love it.

[@MrMadea1231]

I think it would have helped la cuc along along with Britney demo but they are witheld. I can see this songs vibe not being right for Quebec perfection (their most perfect offering imo). Mollusk right behind it). Love all of it actually. My favorite band.

[@markmacdonald7955]

I'll be the first to call bullshit on these lyrics. 3rd lines of each verse give it away. Can anyone post more accurate lyrics?

[@flowerslept]

Reminds me of Meat Puppet's country stuff in the best possible way

[@TWILIGHTR0SE]

reminds me of XTC, has that Andy Partridge sensibility. Oranges and Lemons anyone?

[@gregbowden1552]

It does

[@aladdinsane7882]

Ween Forever.

[@Bigsquatch_ky]

Because "The Fucked Jam" is crazy good juxtaposition to "I Don't Want It".

i like mountains and i like buffalos so this song is for me

[@WildFungus]

@platypusrex ooh va la didn't make it either. quebec was pretty long. And they usually cut as many tracks as they keep.

[@davidmyers7910]

I think Josh Homme Must have listened to this alot

[@sloburnjo]

and now Gram Parsons turned on by Ween

[@edwardhernandez5637]

answer to the question. who are the natives of this place anyway?

[@qween7096]

next shinola?

[@spikeyguy777]

theyve talked about a new shinola for years, but since ween split theyve both said theyd have to be on better terms, musically playing together again, to release a new shinola.

[@Xesh]

+spikeyguy777 By the way, Ween is touring right now

[@spikeyguy777]

Yup I went!

[@Xesh]

aaww i am so jealous! :D

[@dammitineedaname]

Where did you get these songs that didn't make the albums? They're brown as fuck and I want them!

[@georgeorr1042]

Great tune - album worthy for sure. At first, it sounds like John Lennon's guitar riff from his 1980 song "Woman" - then it quickly becomes something VERY different. Quebec is one of my all-time favorite albums - but they could have replaced "Fucked Jam" and "I Don't Want it" very easily with this. Who knows why bands make decisions they do. Anyway, its their album - so whatever. Why did the Beatle's not put "Strawberry Fields" and "Penny Lane" on Sgt. Pepper instead of "Lovely Rita" and "Good Morning, Good Morning" ??

[@beenit6359]

They could of replaced it with fucked jam, I love I don't want it though! Good observation

[@georgeorr1042]

+Beej OG Yes, its a been year since this post and I realize I was wrong about "I Don't Want It." Its a good song actually. Sometimes its takes multiple listens and frame-of-mind change.

[@MrDumpitout]

+George Orr I think it's one of their best honestly. Beautiful lyrics and meaning with an impressive solo to cap it mmmmmmmmmm

[@boratliff]

Whuut? Lovely Rita and Good Morning are 2 of the best songs on Sgt. Peppers. Come on! Strawberry and Penny Lane were great as singles.

[@georgeorr1042]

That argument may go on forever ! Maybe that's why Magical Mystery Tour became my favorite. Actually, Good Morning Good Morning sounds better on the anthology version with no horns - and heavy rhythm guitar sounding like the Clash almost. But big production was the order of the day on that album. There is a bootleg version out there with the guitar solo too and no horns. But John Lennon did dismiss Good Morning, Good Morning as a "piece of garbage." But its actually interesting; with its dozen or so time signatures. Remember, a weaker Beatle's song may be better than most other bands anyway.

[@chrisl8563]

[@Xesh]

@EMTTHHN The hell's your problem? It's the thing to do for ween-fans.

[@r8To]

Fuck yeah

[@DiceMan4221]

@EMTTHHN Here, I'll mostly clue you in. Ween has a lot of songs that the uninitiated would describe as "shitty" or even as "shit." As we know, Ween can not make a bad song. They merely make really "brown" or "chocolatey" songs. And who isn't in a brown mood now and then? Ween does it all, and no one ever dreamed of doing brown like Ween. ...that said, this song isn't very "brown" at all. It used to have that meaning...now its just kinda used randomly to describe something as "Ween-like."

[@Oceanmanofoz]

@YukonTschai You are farking joking

[@6Mega6Man6]

IDK man. I will never understand why they picked "The Fucked Jam" to be on that album than any other track

[@setupdept3147]

because its good.

[@jimmarcotte3741]

Because eventually they'll pull it out and dust it off and blow our minds?

This is so good. It reminds me of Grizzly Bear. They could cover it.

[@zagmazmatron]

Good call! Really speaks to the diversity of Ween.

[@Tetragonoloba]

Dude, fuck Grizzly Bear. I get what you're saying here, but they're just terrible human beings. They're a bunch of assholes who literally said they don't want anyone who disagrees with their political views to buy their music, or be their fans. I think Tame Impala would be better anyway.

[@scherryvalentine9673]

Reginald Barclay Blame it on their age. Everybody grows up someday. Does Tame Impala sound like GB? I will check them out.

[@Tetragonoloba]

Hmm, not exactly like them, but if you like that style of music you might enjoy them! Tame Impala's singer sounds sooo much like Paul McCartney, it's surreal. Their music is considered "stoner music" by a lot of people.

+Liam Cooper that's kinda sad, but you can paint on whatever you want. I did that to a copy of Madame Butterfly, but it was so scratched it was unplayable, so I didn't feel bad about it.

Nah it's still in the sleeve. I dunno if the pen marks made it through to the record.
