(TV) Verlaine-Tortoise



From interview with Doug McCombs on new Tortoise release:

*Seven Diamonds also makes me think of Tom Verlaines /Warm And Cool, /reissued a few years ago on Thrill Jockey. Is that record a favourite of yours and have you had any fresh contact with the man himself since hes become a labelmate? I remember you being acquainted with him when you were in the same studio for the recording of Eleventh Dream Days /El Moodio,/ way back when*

/Warm //And Cool/ is definitely a favourite of mine. Ive had contact with Verlaine a number of times over the years, most recently the last time he played in Chicago, but weve never had a conversation. He seems pretty shy/private. All of my bands owe him a lot. I guess that could be potentially embarrassing for both of us.
