Any Part-Time Punks out there? The search for fans of the Television Personalities

Man do I love this band. Almost every time a thread about musical favorites comes up, I list 'em. My location used to be “on a psychedelic holiday”. The biggest tip-off of all–my sig line!

So, are there any TVP fans out there? I want to gain perspective on this group (outside of a handful of songs, I am basically only completely familiar with what’s on the …And Don’t the Kids Just Love It album and the Yes Darling, but is it Art? singles. What are your favorite songs? Did Dan Treacy’s depression affect the quality of the band’s output? Do you buy that the Jesus and Mary Chain and Pavement were influenced by this wonderful band? Have you heard them but find they are too cutesy for your tastes? Inquiring minds want to know!
