Re: (TV) success



the best songs never get recorded
the best recordings never get released
the best releases never get played

Cant remember who said that first, but its got a lot of truth in it

Its better that they are not instantly hummable by the masses and they never achieved huge success, who wants to see a band in a big venue at hyped up prices ?

Its a success that almost 30 years after they started we're still talking about them and theyre still playing

 "Somewhat mysteriously, Television was the most
widely touted band to emerge from the N.Y. New Wave.
But Marquee Moon showed the group as the exclusive project
of guitarist Tom Verlaine, an interesting Jerry Garcia influenced
guitarist who lacked melodic ideas or any emotional sensibility."
(Dave Marsh,  The Rolling Stone Record Guide )
