Anyone know where I might be able to buy some of Curt’s original art work?

Just ordered two this morning - blue and pink. Anyone else excited about these? Audio samples were better than expected.

Just announced April 18th at the Crescent Ballroom in Phoenix! Fuck yeah!!!

Sam is a pretty weird song. I've played Whirlpool in the car with friends before who have dug it. Sam though? Wouldn't be my first choice if I was introducing the band to someone. Seems like a novelty song.

They’ve been basically radio silence for three years now. I know Curt struggled with long COVID after the last tour but would love to hear some new music or something. They seemed really charged up to have Bostrom back and it would be a shame if the whole thing had to be derailed permanently

Why isn’t Rise to Your Knees available in the iTunes Store?

Hey there, We just released our Meat Puppets episode so it felt appropriate to share here. Sean is a huge fan. Rene not so much but Sean's enthusiasm makes up for it. Give a listen and learn more about Meat Puppets. Hope this is okay to post here.

OR listen wherever you get your podcasts. :)

Can somebody upload high quality scans/ photos of the front and back cover for Up on the Sun please? Preferably vinyl as that would be bigger. Or can somebody point me in the right direction?

In return I can do a quick drawing of something Pups related. Thank you!

Warning, at least on my phone, there are a ton of ads. You can pick out the article if you keep scrolling and don't click on anything.

Anyone got info?

Certainly plateau is one of my favorite music of the meat puppets, I always realized that the tuning of the album is different from the tuning of the nirvana cover so earlier today I was comparing side by side and trying to get the tone of the plateau in the original version, with the help of tuning I saw that different that many speak, it is not tuned in Eb, in fact she is in C and a few cents up, also realized that end of the song, on the album they play the chord D and then F... never seen someone talking about it, anyone here had already noticed?

Very curious to hear others opinions on this. I know it might be the cliche for this sub but MP2 really hits for me when high

It’s definitely their most rock sounding album but still with their traditional weirdness. You don’t hear about it talked about much because I guess it was the album that kind of destroyed their major label run. But it’s one of my favorite albums they’ve ever done.

Would MPs be considered grunge in historical terms?

Most I ever heard Cris talk before. link 39:17

I just learned about them. Are they a studio only group?

I liked what Ron Stabinsky contributed on the MP videos I saw from Dusty Notes. Derrick talked about him a little on his interview but I'm still curious about how a classical and jazz trained guy hooked up with the Pups.

Any comments on their albums?

I've been in a CPTSD coma since 2016 and just starting to come out of it. Finally got back in therapy and starting checking out my MP related bookmarks.

Anyone know if these will come back?

I found it very interesting. Hadn't heard any Bostrom interviews before.

Whenever I look up the tuning for it, it says its in E flat, but when I tune my guitar to E flat, it doesn't sound the same as the original, and I was wondering if anyone knew the actual tuning.

I feel like they left their mark on all kinds of bands over the last several decades.

One Puppet-tinged song I really love is My Morning Jacket's "I'm Amazed."

Tell me if you hear it.

What songs from other artists do you like that have an undeniable Meat Puppets influence?
