Kellie Robertson once lectured me on my appalling taste, and gave me some groups that cool medievalists can appove of -- like The Chemical Brothers, one of whom (if I remember correctly) has an MA in medieval history. In fact I believe that Kellie told me she had gone to a Chemical Brothers concert in London a while back in the company of Paul Strohm. Why does that not surprise me?
