Tom Verlaine - songs and other things /////// Last CD I bought myself, Keith. So, what do you reckon to it? Well I like it, Derek. No, there's no surprises here:- As you say, no big surprises, but it's always good to hear Tom again. I really like the Weirded Out track - it just seems more exciting than a lot of Tom's solo stuff in some way. That's no slight on him, it's just got more life somehow. released simultaneously is "Around", an album of instrumentals, which, from what the guy in the shop (who is another TV fan) said sounded like "Warm and Cool" volume 2. That is, a whole lot of multi-tracked noodling, and something probably best left 'in the can' I like it, though I liked Warm & Cool, too. It is noodly, but it's a good late night record! ; ) Interesting to note, though:- there's none of the new stuff on this disk that Television played when I/we caught them in Manchester, so a new Television LP may yet appear soon. Certainly, in a rare (and frustratingly unrevealing) interveiw for "Guitarist" magazine last month, he said it was just a case of finding dates to record it that suited everyone. Tom's playing Manchester soon in case you didn't know. Not sure whether I'm going yet.
