Every since Ween broke up a while back I've been pretty bummed about my favorite band. But Aaron's writing has always been the thing that has drawn me to this loving force of nature.

Just for scale, here is a fairly new track that reflects Aaron's current state of mind for those of you who have been out of the loop like myself for a while:

And here he was live in Vancouver live in 2011:

I think you can see/hear the difference.

I haven't forgot about Deaner either though. Thoughts on the present/future state of our Ween remnants?

And on a much more chill note, this song has been making my day today for those who prefer Aaron's laid back style:

Well, not to gloat, but I've seen 'em twice myself and consider myself lucky as poo poo.

Ok, sounds like you're covered then. I just listened to the first few tracks of FREE-MAN this morning after getting my head right, and it awakened my old Ween feels.

If this doesn't do it, I don't know what will:

Ween is available as specialty DLC for Rock Band 2 and Rock Band 3, and is thus IZ-appropriate.

It was way ahead of the curve. It's always ghost dicks in anime games and innuendo in western games.

CR went full on ween and was way ahead of its time. Much like Ween, it made some waves and made a mark on the ecosystem it released into.

Don't poo poo where you eat is my favorite ween song.

I love how these artists use a common turn of phrase as a song title and then write the song from there. Kinda like Never Squeal for example

Oh and, good thing the OP turned out to be a humongous pedophile. Says quite a bit about this band. I still say Wheatus is the way to go.
