[CaledonianGonzo]

Sod it.  Let's have a think.

First single: Pop Muzik by M

First album / tape: Born to Run by yer Boss

First CD: Probably a freebie off a magazine before I even had a CD player.  Didn't get a CD player until, like, 1994.

First gig: I think it was Ry Cooder / David Lindley at the SECC in 1989 but the internet seems to have no record of it ever happening.  If not that then it was this.

What a dadrock wee fucker I was.

First Now: The mighty Now 10

Edit:  Actually, if I'm being pedantic it wasn't.  Technically it was this:

https://www.discogs.com/Various-Now-Thats-What-I-Call-Music-The-Christmas-Album/release/981303

First download: Christ knows.  Possibly that final Smashing Pumpkins album that Billy Corgan pirated himself.  Never listened to it.

First Glastonbury: 1995
