I'm afraid I grew up to the tune of Flanders and Swan:
I once had a horn and I knew how to blow it......

Xilman will know this one:

What I don't know is not knowledge.

Some tunes mature with age. Try this one for size:

Tracy Tracy shyly pronounces that they had been described
as "Blondie with Bollocks".
Having seen them (The Primitives) at UEA in 1988, my description
is Blondie and the Velvet Underground rolled into one.

PS I also saw Blondie in 1977 when they were the warm up
group for Television.
Regrettably I never saw the Velvet Underground, but their
first LP (Wharhol Banana, Nico etc) was the first LP I ever bought.

I suppose the reason that Me and 99.94 have effectively
monopolized this thread is that we are supposed to be
only interested in math (as they like to call it over there)

I think I saw these in 1988. Bkew my mind, but this clip
suggests I was two years late:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HZ7-Kj9Szc

I did try to find a previous post which conveyed my
first impressions of this group:
I had read a review which opined that this music might
have been created anytime in the last 20 years. Now that
it has, make sure you see it.

Their concert at the UEA appeared to be sold out so I
paid a couple near the front of the queue slightly over the odds
for their ticket. (1988). They went away apparently happy.
What I saw I can only describe as a performance which was
like watching Blondie and the Velet Underground simultaneously.

PS But even better:)

Ok, I suppose I should contribute.

I just learned that Spinal Tap are embarking on a world tour: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7985487.stm

Supporting act is The Folksmen.
