T.V Also mentioned on U.S tv show / RE: (TV) Mainstream movie Marquee Moon shout-out

["Leo Casey" <LeoCasey@comcast.net>]

That's pretty cool (or maybe 'Medium Cool') Ty.

Dennis sent a link to the List about a year ago that contains a free episode
of a U.S. popular tv-show, "Parenthood".  It has a 1 or 2-minute section
where 3 characters driving in a in a car discuss the greatness of Tom
Verlaine/Television.

Here's the link and it still works,

The Verlaine part is at 13.40 with David Byrne playing on the radio.

Subject: (TV) Mainstream movie Marquee Moon shout-out

Just got back from screening the upcoming "People Like Us," a pretty soapy
melodrama about the estranged son (Chris Pine) of a deceased L.A. record
producer and the half-sister (Elizabeth Banks) he never knew he had. Etc
etc. Watchable movie if not exactly a good one, but there's a scene where
the hero's in a record store with his 11-year-old nephew, and lays the
following CDs on him, in prescribed order: Clash/London Calling, Gang of
Four/Entertainment, Buzzcocks/Singles Going Steady, Joy Division/Unknown
Pleasures and Television/Marquee Moon. The cover photo gets a nice close-up
and there's a later shot of the vinyl album. Of course, the actual
soundtrack is awash in "sensitive" piano and strings, and not a note of our
boys are heard. But it's interesting to see the band name-checked for
mainstream hipster credibility in a studio film (written by the guys who
wrote the "Transformers" movies, no less!)

Weird. And maybe it'll move a few copies of the album.
