Music Trivia Math Challenge!
or, "How old am I?"

Let's make a basic assumption that most of you have read a few posts from this week and last, and noticed that the most heinous taste and sexual/social faux pas are committed seemingly by adolescent males of a certain age, and that the average age reported by all is actually true.

Then, assume I am male. Which I am. Still. And in line with the basic premise of this QOTW wished to impress a female by agonized-over compilation of mix tape.

Here are the bands thereon, to the best of my recollection and in no particular order:
The Cure, INXS, the Damned, U2, the The, Prince, the Mission, Wall of Voodoo, and I think some more of the Cure probably. There may have been (shame) some Pseudo Echo there also.

Anyone wanting to admit to having worked out how old I am now? (no shame).

Edit: just remembered, may have been some Eurythmics also. Sorry.

let's see
mix tapes being a 15-17 thing and the bands you mentioned maybe being late '80s or around 20 years ago, i would say 35-37 with a couple of years either side as error margin, so certainly within 33-39

my guess...
you're in my age range.
33-37

I made mix tapes with all those groups......but never to show to a BOY....that would be too embarassing! They were just for me.

And yes, I did regularly get into my own pants

as long as
The Pseudo Echo was their cover of Funkytown & the Wall Of Voodoo was Mexican Radio, you're alright by me.
