Hey thanks, thehibtones.

Are you familiar with the original studio recording? We are trying to be faithful to it, to capture its unique tone and many of its intricate details, rather than adding a lot of flash.

ELEVATION - I love love love love love this track

great cover! it's amazing how many people here in the US haven't heard of this awesome band!

Looking forward to the next chapter and the R. Hell story. Let us know when you post them.

You need to get up with a publisher, and discuss movie options. These are pretty good ideas.

Omg, it's DeedeeVerlaine - famed author of Television teen romance fantasies! How the heck are you?

Very much enjoyed your story on Quizilla, and hope you continue writing more. Has serious potential: teen romances about thin translucent vampires are all the rage these days, and Verlaine is way, way cooler than Edward.

Besides, we want to see what happens next!

A very worthy effort guys! The only thing missing is the otherworldy vocals but Verlaine is almost impossible to duplicate.

greets from Croatia.

lol -- sometimes it seems like Television is more famous in other countries than in the US. Maybe because there are so many bands here? You would not believe how often we have to explain to fellow Americans that no, Amps Do Furnish A Room does *not* play theme songs from old television shows !

We get a lot of messages from South America. Did Television play there often?
