(TV) New article in Windy City Times



"Anyone who thinks that the present day music scene is diverse, should keep in
mind that it was only one year after the release of Gaye's I Want You that
Televisions Marquee Moon (Elektra/Rhino), would be released, and go on to
become an album that many people consider to be one of the definitive and most
highly regarded albums of the punk rock era. A near seamless blend of punk,
garage rock and blues, all tied together with the alternately emotive and
distant vocals of lead singer Tom Verlaine (think of a male Patti Smith).
Combine that with Verlaine and Richard Lloyd's skillful guitar playing on songs
such as the near-epic title track, "See No Evil," "Venus," and "Friction" and
you have a monumental piece of work. Television's back-to-back albums Marquee
Moon and Adventure are now available in expanded editions featuring alternate,
early and single versions of songs from the albums as well as non-album tracks
such as "Little Johnny Jewel (Parts 1 & 2)."
