AndrewMFC here. No Leo, I am not attempting to gaslight the list by
impersonating any of the other Andys. I am sure all of these fellows are
upstanding gentlemen of impeccable taste, but Andy the Luna fan is quite
clearly a scholar and a squire of the highest order. :-)

Hi Andy,
I'm a little confused (but what else is new : >) ).
Are Andy [andy@notaworry.net] and Andrew [andrewmfc@aol.com]
the same andy/andrew or different members of the MM List ... you are
different
people right?
(And then , of course, there's Andy Ferguson and Andy Fekete?)
RE: > huge Luna fan since Penthouse release...have seen them maybe 80-100
Egads!
I envy you; I have only been able to see Television and T.V.'s solo
career bands a total of 23 times (not counting a "Music For Film show).
As has been stated on the List many times it is maddeningly[sp?]
frustrating
to enjoy the music of Television but have no way to see them or listen to
any
new musical
'output'.

Is the only way to get this (2006) from Rhino or by trolling e-bay?
(I was hoping a big public library like the BPL might have it if it hasn't
been
stolen.)

I have really enjoyed the discussion of Luna on the TV list.
I have been a
huge Luna fan since Penthouse release...have seen them maybe 80-100
times...and am on their list as well. Worth noting that
there has been more
Luna discussion here over the last week, than on the
Luna/Galaxie list over
the past months.
Some thoughts from a fan of both Luna and Television. As
much as I loved
and love Luna, the comparison between the bands is more stylistic than
anything else. In many jams (23 Minutes, Fuzzy Wuzzy, etc)
the style of
guitar interweaving that Dean and Sean produce is TV-esque in
all the best
ways. And Luna stands on its own as good on disc (Dean is a good
songwriter), but great live....just a bit more shoe-gazey than Tom and
Richard. Plus, when Luna was still a band, the chance to see
them live a
dozen or more times a year (here in NYC, their hometown) made
them a real
pleasure for a fan. Check out the movie, Tell Me Do You Miss
Me, if you
want to see some fun stuff and great concert footage (plus I
am front center
in the clips of the final shows at the Bowery Ballroom).
Sean is a friend,
and I know he will appreciate several of the comments that surfaced
here.....and I think he would be honored at any serious comparison to
Television,
However, TV came first....and nothing can compare to Marquee
Moon. Tom and
Richard were trailblazers.....their limited output still
places them in the
pantheon of guitar-rock....and the live shows I saw (both
back in the day
and the later reunions) were always extraordinary.
I think most fans of TV would like Luna....some might even
love them....so
give a listen....
and let's hope that Tom takes the show on the road again soon!!
