I've never read anybody in the band talk about it, for pretty obvious reasons. that was the last show she played with them. she took an ill-advised leap into the pit, actually landed on me and knocked me to the floor. I don't want anybody's imagination running away with them, at the same time I don't really want to go into details. but it was ugly. not woodstock 99 korn ugly, but ugh why am I still even typing this

hairway is kinda like the butthole's "up on the sun" i guess

iirc hairway was the first record they planned out and recorded in a studio instead of making it up as they went along at home. I like it fine but def something lost, it's more wacky hijinks than out of control crazy.
are you doing the EPs too? cream corn from the socket of davis is great (actually inseparable from rembrandt for me since my cassette had both), post-hairway widowermaker is pretty good too.
― truth bomb lawyer mean mean pride (Edward III), Thursday, 11 July 2013 21:25 (ten years ago) link
cream corn is the only thing that's not on spotify for some reason
just started widowmaker (it's thrown on the end of pioughed but i'm listening to things chronologically)
i guess grooveshark might have cream corn

Cream Corn is on Spotify, just not labeled. Last 4 songs on Rembrandt. No idea why it's called "TP Parter" instead of "To Parter", though I think they'd appreciate it.

xxp yeah hairway's songs had been written and honed while touring and then recorded quickly. on the previous albums the songs were mostly worked out as they recorded.

― EZ Snappin, Friday, 12 July 2013 01:04 (ten years ago) link
yeah, that's the best bit anyway. i do like the donovan cover & "barking dogs" (a bonus track), "blindman" is okay-ish.
"strawberry" is my favorite indie worm track. like "P.S.Y.", it had been floating around as a live staple for quite a while before they finally got around to recording it.
also i take back saying "i might even prefer IWS" to piouhgd. had a very hard time getting through the latter earlier today. IWS at least has energy, focus and a bunch of memorable tracks.

A lot of Google sites call it "To Partner" as well. And then there's the case of "Lou Reed" sometimes being known as "Comb", except that BOTH titles appear separately on "Double Live" so I guess they're separate songs after all.

"pioughd" rules precisely because of the verse chorus verse songs, the DI guitar sound, the alesis drum noises, the shitty casio strings. it's a "fuck you" to buttrock "extremity". reunion shows tragic.

"pioughd" was the first buttholes album i ever heard. put me off them for quite a while tbh. i like "revolution", "psy" and "hurdy gurdy man" though. isnt there some lame JAMC pisstake on that album too?

jeez watching the Buttholes do their cymbal fire thing (and any of their 80s party tricks) on TV shows in the 90s is depressingly lame in a way I can't describe
Maybe slightly more palatable at Lollapolloza or whatever

re: Piouhgd;
1) the Donovan cover was one of my favorite songs for a while and was likely the thing that eventually that led me to go, er, deeper into their discography
2) I first got into them thru Hairway/Double Live, and Piouhgd def seemed like a natural extension, if a bit watered down by that point. The fact this is where Psychedelic Jam/PSY and Something had popped up, plus the aforementioned hurdy gurdy, kind of made it seem just this side of essential. Plus, I still love No I'm Iron Man, though def by this point Ween need not fear
this thread has revived my abiding interest to hear the P album.

I think "play" is a bit of a misnomer. Way more of a noise terrorist set than when I saw them on Stairway. All vocal fuckery, shotguns, and ten minute versions of "Hey". It was awesome.
