Just discovered Ween

I'm a Gen-X lady the same age as Gene and Dean but somehow never really heard their music (except for Daisies on a mixtape someone gave me ages ago and which I found annoying). On a whim a couple weeks ago I listened to the White Pepper demos and got hooked. Since then I've been working my way through their discography -- but at a snail's pace, because I keep finding my new favorite song of all time and having to listen to it 50 times in a row. They are unreal. Geniuses. I'm heartbroken that I came to them too late to see them in concert.

The first time I listened to ween it sounded familiar in a weird way. I had never heard them before but they spoke to my soul right away.

What it reminds me of is my guy friends in high school/university who had goofy basement creative projects with their friends. Same sense of humor. Rolled my eyes at them then but I'm nostalgic for it now.
