The thing about bands fom the 70s is that generally I know them already if they're going to be my cup of tea. This is why I was so excited by Tractor. How they slipped through my patented 'net of ultimate nerdiness' I do not know...

the aforementioned song amuses me
has some good lyrics, such as
"I've got a freaky old lady, name of Cocaine Katy, who embroideries on my jeans,
I've got my poor old grey-haired daddy, driving my limousine"
