Sore foot; quiet day; 'domestic job'. Sheets. Sink. Gather in'. All the while got #MarqueeMoon on. Bell-like. Plaintive. Beautiful. Rock without the dumb blokes. Of *all of guitar music* & yet in its own universe. Clanging & ringing. Sorting my day, asitappens.

Masterpiece.

Back in the day, I learned liddl bits of #MarqueeMoon guitar. Those of you who’ve read #BeautifulGames will know I now have a crocked hand. But maybe… as part of the re-hab… ?
Cheap shot mebbes but I reckon if you like #MarqueeMoon, you’ll probs like my book - #BeautifulGames.
It’s in there because I loved that the clean, beautiful guitar-work was wonderfully (& uniquely) stripped of all it’s machismo. We - & rock ‘n roll - needed that.

Verlaine/Lloyd generally get the plaudits for the title track but Smith's bass is just as, if not more, essential. A monumental contribution to culture. Rest easy Fred.

"He lay shuddering, riveted by flickering movements of aliens and angels as the words and melodies of #MarqueeMoon were formed, drop by drop, note by note, from a state of calm yet sinister excitement. He was #TomVerlaine and that was his process: exquisite torment."
#PattiSmith @newyorker.com
Marquee Moon (1977), premier album du groupe Television.
Marquant le rock new-yorkais par ses guitares fines et entrelacées, c'est un disque clé du post-punk. Il est devenu un classique et un album qui a profondément marqué le rock indépendant.

Today’s excuse for doing avoiding proper work - I’ve been trying to play Richard Lloyd’s solo from #MarqueeMoon - you know it, the two descending runs followed by a really high bit - but on piano. You may ask why, and my answer is that it seemed more fun than arguing with the tax man on the phone.

Giving the old man’s system a listen - his B&W’s blow my Paradigms out of the water. 🤣

As close to it gets as a perfect album imo. You can tell Tom Verlaine put so much thought into every note. I may be a bit biased as he’s from my town and went to the same high school as my wife.
