well, since the 70s, but hes still one of the geniuses of modern music. every decade hes been around hes been a genius of modern music because that motherfucker has been lightyears ahead of his contemporaries forever now.

Yes. Yes, it is. I think we are all, at this moment, very disappointed in Rob.

[Rob Instigator]

hahahah! Hilarious!

Upon repeated listens I just cannot fathom anyone putting this record on more than a couple of times. I have tortured myself with it way more than that and I am beginning to develop a severe case of LOATHING for it.

Marquee Moon better be good or I am coming to whatever podunk town you live at gku and kickin yr ass!

[█████████]

do you want me to send you mp3's or something before buying it?

i doubt you will like marquee moon.

I never recommended Marquee Moon. As you'll recall, I recommended Cyborgs Revisited by Simply Saucer. I think it's far better than either Blank Generation or Marquee Moon. Plus everybody has Marquee Moon. You'd get more "coolness" cred for picking up Cyborgs.

[Rob Instigator]

OK. Time to hit BlackDog Records and Vinal Edge to try and find that Cyborgs, Simply Saucer.

[uhler]

marquee moon is so much better than blank generation. i think you'll like it.

[█████████]

hey rob, the "indie kids" and "hipsters" like marquee moon too, careful.

youve never heard marquee moon? god i love that record.

on a side note; television, along with the other early nyc "punk bands" (suicide especially), are amazing bands but really arent punk rock to me. television i see as like an art rock band who influenced punk a little bit. i mean, they have 11 minute jam songs. just because malcolm mclaren liked how hell dressed and had the sex pistols dress like that doesnt necesarily make them a punk rock band in my eyes. the voidoids however are definitley punk rock.

[gmku]

Television is amazing. Marquee Moon, Adventure, and The Blow-up... all are fantastic albums. I just hesitate to recommend them to Rob, who clearly is not into that late-70s late-punk sound.

Hey, I just made up a genre name: late-punk.

he does, at least he looks like he has to adopt the haino-pose for the pic before bursting out laughing or something.

and yeah, haino is fucking immortal, i bet dude was johann sebastian bach and all them music vanguardists and has been changing disguises through the centuries and breaking ground in music every century.

[█████████]

i have marquee moon too and it's a good record, however, my favourite television song, and probably their coolest song (little johnny jewel) is not on that record.

[batreleaser]

im not a big fan of adventure, and i didnt even know the voidoids were around in 76, i just thought malcolm took the look from hell exclusivley. it is a great look i might add.

[gmku]

Adventure is a great record. But don't buy it Rob!

i just got out of my classical music class and were learning about beethoven. first he played some really crappy commerical jingle from the 50s and then he played some hendrix, then he played some crappy classical tune from 1776 and then played a beethoven track, the implication being how radical beethoven was for his time. the hendrix thing was kinda a bad example considering how much wild music had already come out, but if he had played albert ayler or sun ra or something the non-musical loving kids in my class wouldnt have understood or cared.
