Television's first two albums were pure bloody genius

[Taverner]

Both Television and Adventure

I just can't stop playing them

Hats off to Tom Verlaine :0

1. I never had Adventure, but the first album was solid, no doubt.

I haven't heard that one for at least fifteen years though, since a less-than-scrupulous ex-sort-of-girlfriend sold a bunch of my CDs so she and some guy could pay for gas and move to Las Vegas....

About the only tune I remmber clearly is Foxhole.

2. Did you mean Marquee Moon ?

I also don't have Adventure, and remember it not grabbing me immediately like Marquee Moon did (probably should have given it time to grow on me,but I didn't), but I still have my original vinyl copy of M.M. and still listen to it, and yeah, pure bloody genius is a good description. Some useless trivia: the drummer , Billy Ficca, ended up in The Waitresses (band that did I Know What Boys Like).... And I still remember how the darkness doubled...

3. Waitresses also did that annoying Xmas song

4. Never heard it, but if it was annoying, I'm glad I missed it

I Know What Boys Like was also kind of annoying, but I think that was the idea.

5. Dupe; (don't know what happened)

6. Well, I'll be damned. As it turns out, ADVENTURE was the album I had!

I remembered the red cover with the photo of the band--but I didn't recall the name of it.

So, I guess what said about what I thought was about the other album, stands for Adventure!
