Taken from a Stereogum article on the mollusk turning 20. Link: www.stereogum.com/1951136/wee... This video is already on youtube, but its unlisted and is a real gem so I thought Id make it easier for fans to find!

Having recently listened to the mollusk I can say with confidence that it’s fucking incredible. I think one of its greatest feats is the fact that it’s able to maintain its ocean theme even when the songs have nothing to do with the ocean. It still feels like it’s on the same stage the mollusk (song) set at the beginning of the album. Incredible

Les though has some killer taste in music between Ween and Death Grips. Also gods above and below, The Mollusk is such an amazing album. It's nothing short of enchanting.

I love that they met at Alternative Nation. I was at that festival and VERY high on acid. I have no idea if my memories are in any way close to what actually happened but I remember during Primus' set there were fires burning all around the hillside surrounding the stage and it seriously felt like I was in the lowest levels of hell, and was loving every second of it. Faith No More performed after Primus and I remember Patton throwing himself into backflips during the song Caffeine, when he sings "I'm warning you!" Was just mind blowing!

The Alternative Nation festival in Australia they talk about was amazing. In Sydney 2024 the Eastern Creek Raceway is now residential homes, Sydney has expanded exponentially. Ween smashed it, Primus were THE band to see, it was a great day that I can slightly remember as the acid I took wasn't too strong. I remember Pop Will Eat Itself were astounding.

The post office probably screwed up once again. If it's gone for good then I hope it sank in to the bottom of the ocean and is now bringing joy to all the little mollusks and seacreatures down there.
