Intentions behind reunions are typically evident. Pavement, Pixies and Soundgarden reunions, for instance, are obvious cash grabs. I think there is more to the Dinosaur Jr., Mission of Burma and Swans reunions, though. The three latter bands have all released material on par with their older stuff and are consistently still fantastic live acts.
Just Announced
Yeah, the Ween thing is a bummer, but not really unexpected. Gene seems to have been phoning things in for a few years now; can't say I'm surprised to see him say he's been thinking about it for eight years in that Rolling Stone article.
Probably my consistently favorite band…but even I didn't really want to hear a new Ween record.

Honestly surprised it took them this long. That last Sonar show I caught in 2007? was the most through the motions Ween show I saw. Mushroom Festival was cool but that even felt forced.

I'm fine with the Pavement and Pixies cash grab reunions as they were really great shows and I didn't get to see them before they broke up the first time.

very much agree . . . and only because they are horrible now. they used to rule.
The Sebadoh Classic line up tour at the club a couple years ago, while sparsely attended, was great. I really dont care if its a cash grab or not, if its a band that I dig and they put on a great show.

Al Green - Wolf Trap (Filene Center)
(I dont remember seeing this posted, but might be wrong. It could be a fun summer show.)

I had some good times at their shows many moons ago.

I think that was during your MDMA phase Walky.
Completely agree. I never said cash grabs were negative.
Bands gotta eat, too.

I saw them once at the crowbar in state college in 1998 or 1999 and they were awful! And they played FOREVER…it was 5 bucks.

PRIMAVERA TV PRESENTS: SAN MIGUEL PRIMAVERA SOUND LIVE
San Miguel Primavera Sound will broadcast some of the most keenly anticipated concerts of the line up on its video channel Primavera TV hosted on YouTube. It will be possible to watch live the concerts of The Cure, Wilco, Rufus Wainwright and his Band, Mazzy Star and many others all around the world.
The programme is made up of a total of 22 concerts that will be broadcast live during the three main days of the event in the Parc del Fòrum from Thursday 31st May until Saturday 2nd for those of you who cannot come to the festival.
Oh, and I'm a fan of StageIt for the one or two good artists that pop up on there for a live stream concert. Josh Rouse announced one for June 20 (www.stageit.com) 4 pm EST. Last stream/show was GREAT. (Glen Phillips has one most Sunday's; he's had a few great ones, but Josh's first show topped everyone. He had one bandmate and another friend sit in with guitars and harmonies. Not bad for "pay what you can" for 50 mins. from your house)
