in two years, or a year, when the tom verlaine buzz dies, i
should think we would no longer be hearing that television fly-around at the no. 2 spot on such a list as this.

Er.. There isn't any Tom Verlaine buzz, never has been, really. It's there because, as they say, it's a "work of breathless wonder. Eloquent, minimal and portentous...The post-punk era's original template." Tom's current releases will make absolutely no mark at all on the musical landscape, Marquee Moon has never been "out of print".

Are you sure? I think the Television albums were out of print in the early 80s. At least, one of the first things I remember reading about Tom Verlaine was a review of Dreamtime in Trouser Press that said "Elektra has already remaindered their Tom Verlaine and Television product." --------------
