Notice I didn't say best, as Zimmy has inspired no end of great covers. Television's version of this old warhorse is a little more obscure than some of the others, and it beautifully showcases the guitarwork of Mr. Tom Verlaine.

Instead Lloyd has been in the hospital fighting a life-threatening case of pneumonia. His Web site reports: “…Richard is currently unwell.

Yes, it's over 10 minutes long, but a really nice guitar break is right in the middle. Give it a listen.

In contrast to the Ramones's focus on minimalist amateuris...

I just can't tell you how much I love this band! Tom Verlaine's voice is just so fascinating to me, it kinda reminds me of Bowie's voice in quality w/it's quavering, tremelous timbre & depth. Of course, the guitar work is amazing as well as the songwriting too. It all adds up to some great listening. Here's another great song from their eponymously titled cd & is the first cut off the album.

Maybe. So here is my other fav song on Television's self titled cd. Just love the surf guitar on this & the lyrics are just so funny: "Let's get some cawfee, let's get some cawfee . . . that cops from, that cops from- Mars!" That Tom Verlaine, what a zany screwball, heh! Listen & learn from a master.

Yippeeee!!!! Thanks to the almighty Mog Staff, especially Adam Siegel, who schooled me on the fact that not all music files are created equally Mogable. I learned that regular Windows Media Player(WMP) music files are not the same as mp3s. What can I say, I'm still learning! So I discovered that my WMP can convert my music immediately into mp3 files when ripping onto my puter.What a revelation....

They were always referred to as influential & legendary in any music press references that I read in music reviews of new groups. It was quite some time before I finally broke down & bought their eponymously titled cd "Television"('92). Boy what a revelation!I fell in love w/the amazing guitar work on thi...

As I sit in my Brooklyn apartment staring out the window into the greyness counting the minutes until I can have my next cigarette and cursing myself for not being able to find my zippo, I notice how my musical tastes change with the weather. No more than a few weeks ago I was listening to the upbeat sounds of the summer, rocking my personal classics like ATDI and Deftones and looking into new...
