Just BTW Bill, Briggs was here in the Springs, just located on Boulder http://www.csindy.com/coloradosprings/pizz…
Hmm. I guess I need to delve a bit deeper into (I can see it a bit on The Messenger) Still I connect Television to a more "awkward" post-punk sound (mainly due to Verlaine's delivery) than I do this Johnny Marr album which I think is really "poppy" and easily accessible
I wouldn't file the new Johnny Marr anywhere near Television, not because Television isn't amazing, just that they sound nothing alike
Bil, you forgot to mention that one of the most engaging live acts in metal is in town tonight @ the Black Sheep, Valient Thorr.
Does the ego thing include Fred? Because that may be the most egoless, nice guy musician I have ever met. I first spoke with him when he was touring with The Color Fred and then again when he came through as part of The Lemonheads backing band, not only did he remember our conversation from years before but he was just as enthusiastic and cool as I remembered, seemed like he had nothing but good to say about anyone he had ever played with
Umm Tom Petty is one band and The Replacements are another, just saying
