Wha?

The crossword I am doing just used "ween" as a word, with the clue being "'Pure Guava' band".

I'm not a Ween fan (haven't really heard anything by them), but that's kind of awesome.

Oh, boyohboy. Another on 1st listening in the making. Start with "Chocolate and Cheese", I think. Ween are one of the silliest bands going, driven by musical virtuosity. They put on a must-see live show, too, if you get a chance.

"One of the silliest bands going" has always been a bit of a turn-off, although probably just conceptually as opposed to in practice, if you see what I mean.

Luckily enough, the International Mixtape Project entry that arrived at my door yesterday had a Ween song on it, so I'll be hearing something by them soon.
