"ChartAttack: Where would you say that Television fits in the musical 
spectrum, and has it changed in the past 30 years?
Richard Lloyd: Ultraviolet, infrared. There are 40 octaves of radiation, 
of which light is only one. Way down below is the auditory spectrum, and 
way below that is heat, and way below that is absolute zero. So all we 
have are these three little windows. All we get are seven at the top and 
seven in the middle and then heat. Very musical answer, Richard."

This is the perfect answer to such a question.

"Why did Television break up from 1978 to 1992 and then from 1993 until 
recently?
We follow the Thoreau cycle, the solar eclipse cycle. The Thoreau cycle 
is an 18-year cycle and the sun spot cycle is 11 years, and we have this 
sort of timetable that we work on that's a conglomeration of that where 
we use a slide rule to decide when to play and to talk about making a 
new record."

This is even better.
