Re: (TV) Not so familiar Verlaine favourites

Re. both albums, I agree. The Dream Syndicate's "Days of Wine & Roses" is
excellent. Btw, Is it just coincidence Steve Wynn & Tom Verlaine both played
Jazzmasters, or that I think I can hear a little Television (as well as Velvet
Underground)  influence in the band? Maybe not coincidence!  Wynn even name
checks Tom during a July 24, 1982 recording from The Country Club, L.A. show.
In between songs, he says "We saw Tom Verlaine last night [in San Diego].He
was real good. So, it's been fun."
I must check out Phil's rec. of  "Live at
Raji's".

All  the recorded bands David Roback's been in, Mazzy Star, Clay
Allison, Opal, & Rain Parade are among my faves, & I much like his guitar
playing, especially slide.
And he seems to have had a talent for recruiting &
inspiring first rate female singers to write with & work with, first Kendra
Smith in Clay Allison/Opal after she left Dream Syndicate as bass player &
occasional singer, then Hope Sandoval in post-Kendra Opal, & Mazzy Star.
Roback also  put together a worthwhile album project in 1984, "Rainy Day",
gathering together musicians & singers from a number of Paisley Underground
bands: Rain Parade, The Dream Syndicate, The Three O'Clock, The Bangles, to
record an L.P. of covers of favourite, mostly 1960s, songs; an album I like a
lot.

Glen mentioned gravitating to  Mazzy Star via their song "Into Dust",
which reminds me of a bit of trivia:  The lyrics of the Chili Peppers song
"Aeroplane" reference both "Into Dust" & Hope Sandoval, & the song "Aeroplane"
seems to be in part about how Hope's melancholy-tinged song & voice affect Mr.
Kiedis (who reportedly dated Hope at one time).

Just want to second
Rex's sentiments here -- both great albums, esp. the Dream Syndicate one.
Speaking of the Dream Syndicate, the deluxe reissue of the LIVE AT RAJI'S
(from the tail-end of their career) is still one of my favorite live albums
ever. The kind of live album Television deserved to have!

I'd have to class at least Days
of
Wine and Roses and Emergency Third Rail Power Trip as stone cold classic
albums, with quite a few serious contenders from the other bands involved...
