Television - I Could Sleep All Day

[mfourcade75]

A new song ... and a lost song.

Feel so sad and glad.

Why do you I have to wait so long each time to hear a new song of his.

I love Tom Verlaine's music. Thanks for posting.

The sound on this stinks...Tune sounds like bad King Crimson, the riff that is...However, I saw the do this one and others in Philadelphia in 2003, and the sound and playing was excellent...Have to blame the camcorder for this...Lloyd is a very nice cat, and plays a bad guitar, but can't sing...Verlaine an underrated guitarist...Saw the 'Telivision farewell' concert @ NYC Central Park, and Verlaine sounded great because he really had the chance to stretch out.

I could ¨play it¨all day :-)

I can´t stop playing this song, it´s fantastic!!

I love Television and Robert Lloyd, he rocks better than Jimmy Rip but most important for me is Tom Verlaine. I think is an injustice that there is no records from him beteween 1992 to 2006!!!!!!.

Sorry for my english.

[gobeco]

Yesssss.....a new one to my colecction!!.

Some bands will pay all their fortune for this songs......and Television don´t publish them???. Hey records companies!!!.

Linclinck, we are waiting for new ones :-)

I have seen, but not yet heard, bootlegs with "Persia" (live one with other new songs too) listed. I have a friend in NYC who saw them a few times in the last decade & said there were a fair number of new songs they were doing.

My friend might even have some of those bootlegs. Now that I am done with grad school, I'll look him up & ask. If it works I'll write you here & be glad to share with you. Blessings!!

yeah! I would really appreciate that! it would be so cool if television were to actually release a new album though, 1978-1992 was even quite a long time apart, so it could happen

[linclink]

One can always hold out hope. Richard Lloyd was crowing on his website that it was over, as in OVER. To say never or forever precludes absolute knowledge of the future & great guitar player that he is, he doesn't have those abilities.

Right now though it seems remote at best, but...these guys aren't getting any younger & Television together means more money for any & all of them, then when they are apart. So necessity may dictate that we someday get to hear all the newer stuff. I hope so.

[windmills20]

While it wouldn't be the same I would think that if Verlaine was to reform Television for one last album it would be with Jimmy Rip and Billy Ficca since Lloyd looks to have no interest in the matter,

I've been listening to all three Television albums over the last two years and they seem to NEVER get old, but I'd love to hear some new songs

[linclink]

I don't think they'd ever do anything as Television without the original 4 members. My assumption is that the arrangements for these newer/unreleased tracks were all worked out with those 4, & only those 4 would be playing them.

You never know, but I doubt it. I too LOVE all 3 albums. I saw them once in Toronto in the early 90's & it was amazing. I saw Verlaine once solo as well. I miss them. Blessings!!

[windmills20]

well that sounds logical,

I love playing around with those albums whether it's improvising around them, or playing the song as is. I learned every song on Marquee Moon and it keeps me practicing. In my opinion Little Johnny Jewel is the most fun to improvise around

Have an awesome day! And if you could find any of Television's newer tracks I'd love to hear them

[squirehorse]

a great lost television song!

[linclink]

Was this one of the "new" songs they were doing (like "Persia") they were going to be on the "new" Television album that never ended up happening? Boy do I ever hope that they re-re-reunite someday!!! Thanks & Blessings!

I heard them do this song a few years ago at the Fillmore (not the original) in San Francisco. I wondered what was going to happen to it too.

[windmills20]

Is there anywhere I could find the song "Persia"?

[ClueSign]

Such gorgeous changes -- Richard Lloyd rocks.

[rca88]

Yeah - I'm a fan too.
