付け加えますと、曲目は"Songs and Other Things"中心で、あと日記にも書いてある、Kingdom Come, Words from the Front, Clear It Away, それから、"Remember Science..."とか言う歌詞が出てくる曲など。(そんなのありましたか?)かく言う私も、ソロの曲をはっきりと把握しているわけでもなく、また、今CDが手もとにないので、確認もできません、ごめんなさい。ただ、テレビジョンの最初の2枚からは1曲も演奏しませんでした。(実は再結成のほうは聴いてないのです。)
A new book, Sonic Transmission, is released in July '06.
The book, by Tim Mitchell, is described on Amazon as "The complete story of Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine and Televison, from the very beginning, illustrated with iconic photographs, with a comprehensive chronology and discography."
The book is available from amazon.com here and in the UK from amazon.co.uk, here
Some of you will have seen one of the live performances of seven short avant garde films (mostly) from the 20's accompanied by Verlaine and Jimmy Rip. Well, after years of trying, it is finally coming out on DVD. Kino on Video (great company) will be releasing (tentatively titled) "Tom Verlaine: Music For Experimental Film" on (again, tentative street date) June 28.
The DVD release will be different from the live shows in that the image will only be the film, with the tracks as accompaniment. This will not be a presentation of one of the live shows. Also, there will be one new film and score on the DVD as a substitution for one of the films used in the live show. This is due to rights restrictions on the film.
Richard Lloyd "severing all ties" with Television.
Richard has announced his decision to quit Television. You can read his statement and plans on his website HERE
で、その声明文。
After the possible Summer stage show in New York City on June 16, which is to be announced by the city of New York on May 15, Richard Lloyd will, after 34 years, be amicably severing all ties with the band Television, in order that he may concentrate his magnetic force and supernatural energies upon his own career in support of his forthcoming record, due out in the fall. This new record directly competes with Marquee Moon, Axis: Bold as Love, The Doors, Patti Smith's Horses, Bob Marley's Natty Dread, Neil Young's Harvest, or any other record you can name, as one of the greatest records ever made in the history of rock 'n roll. That being so, Richard needs to concentrate all of his energies to support it and its subsidiary philosophies.
To the fans of Television, from the very first show at the townhouse Theatre on March 4, 1974 till the hopeful last show here in New York at the Summer stage -- which by the way, is a free show, thank you for your support over these many years. I hope to see you follow both my own and the other members of the band in their own solo efforts for many more years to come.
I am sorry to report that Richard Lloyd is currently unwell. He has been in hospital for over a month with pneumonia as a primary medical problem. This has responded to treatment and he has shown some improvement and is now free of the breathing apparatus.
