Re: (TV) Not so familiar Verlaine favourites

[Jesse Hochstadt <jesseh58@yahoo.com>]

Speaking of the Paisley Underground, I remember buying True West's "Drifters"
album after a reviewer likened it to Television. I listened to it once or
twice, decided I had no idea what the reviewer was talking about, and tossed
it. Wikipedia says that Tom did produce some of True West's demos - maybe
that's where the comparison comes from?
