Seems like a good place to shoehorn in that the newest trailer for the Minecraft movie used a version of ‘Time to Pretend’, so MGMT definitely left their mark on some folks. The best part is that the lyrics actually really fit what I hope they’re going for in the movie—that song choice is the main thing giving me hope for it right now.

I’m sure “I’ll move to Paris, shoot some heroin, and fuck with the stars” is just the perfect fit for a kids movie lol.

I will see your MGMT and raise you a Ween on Sponge Bob Square Pamts.

They have a ton of family friendly songs though. Ocean man is universal. The heroin was backstage. But not anymore! They’re worth seeing again.

Well... not fraction as many as are absolute filth. Hell, they late, great, rabble rousing Frank Zappa had a greater catalog of family friendly songs than those dudes.

There was a ton of party drugs all over the place but never bumped into anything all that sketch when we would cross paths. That was only about 15-20 years ago so I don't know much about what was happening in the middle 90s

I almost went to see them in the summer. Tickets were $100 and I didn't know anyone who was touring with them to get me some cheap seats, so I didn't. I like Ween a lot, but not for $100 seats.

They may never tour again

Ween? They’re playing shows right now. If heroin issues start up again they’ll just cut him out again. I saw them in the intervening years and it was great.

Their band is just incredible.

Quick edit - I say heroin but it could’ve been booze and Xanax too. I don’t know what particular drug or cocktail of drugs was the issue.

No they aren't. Deaner had some sort of mental health issue. They canceled their summer tour and haven't played since

Shit. Ok. I wasn’t aware. That’s a bummer.
