Ditto...the 1980 Rolling Stone review of Crazy Rhythms certainly could be mistaken for a review of TV in my opinion:
The Feelies treat rock & roll guitars as pure sound-textures. tones and rhythms to be experimented with, stretched, cantilevered, playfully bent into every possible shape - and Crazy Rhythms reveals a more intricate, volatile musical approach than the group's high-octane live shows. Glenn Mercer's lapidary guitar style, with its loping clusters of flat-picked notes strung like beads on a tune, has certain elements in common with that of Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler, yet it's deployed in a much looser, more inventive way. Mercer's playing is set off against not only Bill Million's rangier leads and fills but a whole panoply of tricky percussion, quick changes and loopy studio effects.

Was that Crazy Rythms? If so, it's a great record but I don't hear the similarity to Television. --Paul__________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Address AutoComplete - You start.
