Ween – Ambrosia Parsley (Caesar Demos 2001-2003)

Ween – Ambrosia Parsley (Caesar Demos)

I’m a big Ween fan. Everyone that knows me knows that. I even have a boognish decal on the back of my car. Anyway, last night Deaner posted these quebec-era demos on facebook. It’s a treasure trove of unreleased tunes, demos and rough mixes from the summer of 2001 to 2003 when the band was recording the quebec album.

This track, Ambrosia Parsley, is the funkiest one on there, with Gener in full-on Prince mode. (“How much sex can we fit in a day? Ambrosia Parsley.”) I think it would fit in just fine on Prince’s Around The World In A Day album. I’d put it right between Condition Of The Heart and Raspberry Beret. Or maybe I’d remove America and just open up side two with Ambrosia Parsley.

The full mp3 fileset is available to download via torrent over at browntracker (the torrent tracker completely dedicated to Ween): http://www.browntracker.net/details.php?id=1811
Or in 2 zip files at mediafire: part one & part two.

Bootsy Collins & The Funk Unity Band – The Funk Unity Tour 2011

Bootsy Collins & The Funk U Band – July 9, 2011 – Jazz A Vienne, France:
The Pinocchio Theory, Hollywood Squares, Swing Down Sweet Chariot, Cosmic Slop

Bootsy Collins has assembled a monster band of P-Funk alumni (calling them the Funk Unity Band) for his 2011 Funk Unity Tour in support of his new album, Tha Funk Capitol Of The World. And if that sentence didn’t have enough Funk for ya, I’m about to hit you off with even more!

You can start by pressing play on the above audio track. Then move on to the full course, this 2 hour pro-shot video of the full show from July 9, 2011 in Vienne, France:

When you’re done with that i’ve got some downloads for you. I’ve ripped the above video and you can download the 800mb flash video file via: MEGAUPLOAD or TORRENT.

I’ve also got audio of the next night’s show at North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, Netherlands from July 10, 2011. It’s a 103 minute untracked audio file and you can download it in either MP3 or FLAC. I recorded it from the NSJF webstream, so it is soundboard quality, although it was only streaming at 192kbps.
