1145.0. "Television" by RUTILE::EMC2::ANDERSON_R (Only the young die young) Fri May 14 1993 15:47

Just occured to me that there's no Television/Verlaine note.

I just ordered Marquee Moon and Adventure from one of the local cd shops - these
will be my first ever cd purchases. Anyway these two records are sooooo good it's
next christmas. Anyone heard the new Television album yet ?

> Anyone heard the new Television album yet ?
    
    Yes.  Very disappointing -- not too surprisingly, it sounded like
    Verlaine's recent solo work, everything coyed down to a mumble.  But
    live, they still kick it.  I'm hoping for a spate of bootlegs.

    I'm afraid I disagree with Ray - I like a lot of the new lp. There are
    one or two weaker tracks there, and overall it doesn't come up to the
    mighty Marquee Moon lp (but then, IMHO, nothing could), but most of it
    is worth listening to.
    
    I'll agree that live they are still doing it, though.

    Paul Williams also disagrees with me.  
    
    Actually, I hope as many people as possible disagree with me, so that
    the band all makes Big Pounds and the record companies bring out 2 new
    albums every year.

    I love 'Call Mr.Lee' off the new album.
