I love that band and have all the vinyl-sadly none is on cd that I know of.

Growing up in IL when I went off to college I found out that the state only 
had two areas. Chicagoland and all other. At the time the band was all the 
rage in Chicagoland so many of us from all other found out about them. When 
the freshmen went back home for Christmas break many brought the Phil 'n The 
Blanks album with them so it had heavy party play. They had a strong funky 
new wave B-52's vibe.

Check out YouTube for some vids.

Not sure how many songs there are about visectomy, but their musical homage 
to the delicate procedure would rank in the top five for sure:
