The Weasels - GenerationXcrement

Originally conceived as the bonus disc for a planned four-record box set retrospective, GenerationXcrement was released in 2000 and provided an assortment of alternate takes and unreleased tracks from the group’s first decade, including some of the earliest “basement tapes” from their pre-live incarnations. On October 28, 2000, the band played what is, to date, their last live show at Valentine’s Music Hall in Albany to support this disc’s release. Fun and Weasell were joined onstage by Jon Cohen (bass, who had returned to replace Okey after Uranus was completed), drummer Scott Appicelli and hired hands Steve Watson (keyboards) and Nathaniel Ward (guitar). Graf no longer performed onstage with the Weasels, but provided sound mix and supplements from the engineer’s booth.

GenerationXcrement featured performers from throughout the band’s history, including the following musicians not credited elsewhere in their recorded canon: Mike Sheehan (keyboards), Andy Manion (guitar) and Mary Panza (voice). The album included the following songs:

  1. "Man On the Moon”
  2. “Fluffy Wuffy Bunnies”
  3. “Billy Boy”
  4. “Let the Killing Begin”
  5. "Have A Nice Day”
  6. “Old Spot Old Stain”
  7. “Amway Man”
  8. “Gawdzilla”
  9. “A Fish”
  10. “Fat Lady Sings”
  11. “Part On the Square” (written for an art installation by Oatman, and sometimes listed as "Hard On the Square")
  12. “Generation Excrement”
