Re: (TV) a question (seeking heated debate)



It was Mick Jones of the Clash that got me into the Stooges, the New York Dolls and the MC5 so if the Strokes get people into Television it cant be bad, although I can see people buying Television because 'they sound like the Strokes' and then wondering what the feck the reviewers were going on about and sticking it in the rack after one play

... only to rediscover it 3 months later and end up loving it more than the Strokes

they are from new york, the guitars are pretty clean sounding - apart from that there is no real similarities with Television

yeah.  i'm just thinking that maybe it was the rush of
a new generation, into the strokes, reading the press,
seeking hipness, and asking, "who the f*** is
television?", running out to record stores...

(hence marketable reissues, press.)
