Major Tweezers

VictorWootang Permalink
so i'm not a music expert so correct me if i'm wrong, but the Tweezer jams that are more light and uplifting are Major Key, right?

assuming that's right, I have to say I f***ing love these Tweezers. I love ones like 11/17/97 or 11/22/97 that are real funky, and its awesome to me to hear that they can approach it completely differently and I still like them as much.

The 08/01/98 Tweezer is probably the top one i've heard. I also think 08/26/12 is the heat.

Any more of these Tweezers that I should check out?

ledzepmaster I love the 10/23/10 Tweezer, it's funky and goes major to minor again. The 12/30/99, 9/3/11, 12/28/11, 8/26/12 and 8/22/12 Tweezers also go major. These are just off the top of my head and I am tired. I will do some more looking tomorrow.

RovingReporter I have a major tweezer that I use to rip out the pubes and nose hairs that my normal trimmers can't get to.

I also use them for the pubes right near my dick. I don't feel comfortable putting a razor next to my precious 3.5 inch member. BECAUSE SOME DAY, I WILL GET LAID.

Right, but most Tweezers are played in A minor and usually always use the A as the 1. Please go find me a C major Tweezer, sir.

kipmat Did you want a Tweezer that goes to A major, or a Tweezer that goes a camera?

anyway, @ledzepmaster said mine. The KC Tweezer from this summer has the goods you want.

a tweezer that goes a camera will probably be played in a couple weeks, as the world ends simultaneously

waxbanks 9/3/11 Dick's is one of the most indulgently pretty major-key jams there is, I think. 8/22/12 is in the same vein (but less of a surprise, in a way).

11/22 and 11/17/97 never leave Tweez-blues mode (whereas the 11/17 Ghost, like the IT Ghost and 11/28/97 Ghost and 12/30/97 Bag, swerves into an 'anthemic' major-key jam).

There's a lot of spry funk jamming in summer '97 -- OP, what do you think of the Went 2001? I think of that version as really lighthearted, especially in its last 5ish minutes. When Fish starts clanging away on his cymbal you keep wanting Trey to let up on that repetitive guitar lick, to break the happily building tension, but you kinda also him to never goddamn stop. That's a good sign I think. :)

Also OP, have you heard 12/2/97? The whole second set is this weirdly (for Fall 97) happy-go-lucky suite of tunes shot through with light funky syncopated rhythms from Fish. Even the heavier-than-usual Ya Mar outro gives off positive vibes, especially during that heroic Ya Mar > Weekapaug transition...

(Hope that helps.)
