Do we have any proof a 4th album is in the can? I wouldn't be surprised if
some recording has taken place. But I didn't think they had a finished LP
in the can.
BTW, October 6 will be the 20th anniversary of the self-titled "reunion"
album!

A separate, but terrible thought: At this point, I do not believe the 4th
Television album (the one that was finished about 2 years ago) will be
released until after Tom's death.

Nobody in here picked up David Todd's "Feeding Back"? I finally ordered
this
collection of interviews with 25 "alternative" guitar players. Haven't got
through them all, but so far it's an satisfying, well-written read,
although
there are more informative ones than the Verlaine chapter, which is 17
pages
long, including a 2-page introduction. I expected a deeper text about
technique and equipment, but it's more about pretty well-known influences
and his love for two-guitar orchestras; didn't knew that Fender "sort of"
approached him about a signature Jazzmaster model, either. He calls his
left-hand playing and string-bending "primitive" -- but why in God's name
no
mentioning of his really masterful right-hand, volume-knob technique?
Apart
from this, John Frusciante from Red Hot Chili Peppers cites Verlaine as
his
biggest idol, and Keith Levene from PiL also recognise him as a major
instrumentalist -- but Johnny Marr from the Smiths picks Lloyd as a
favourite.
