Re: (TV) More Whippersnappers trying to steal the Television Mantle!



I got in touch with richard lloyd when television were primed to play edinburgh for the first time ever - we exchanged a few emails talking about the venue/wherer to buy tickets where they were primed to play at and found myself saying "you'll be fine playing there even though its not being advertised because the strokes have been so hyped up over here and last week they played to 3,000 and every review mentions television so it'll be fine for you"

that was the end of the story,

understandably so, I would have hated to be in the same position where the only interest in me is a reflection of a previous understanding of me

anyway, the tickets were on sale to the last minute....

and then they played and they were television

and the crowd was mixed

Dumb BBC "radio personality" on the Glastonbury TV coverage said that
Television were "obviously" an influence on Franz Ferdinand. Nonsense.
Bah... laziness!
