Soundtrack of the Moment

I don't have anything useful to contribute this Friday afternoon, so I thought I'd just toss out a plug for what I'm listening to: the double-disc live set The Blow-Up by Television.

The recording originates from 1978 shows and was originally released on the cassette-only label ROIR in 1982, so the sound quality isn't exactly pristine, but the rawness only adds to the enjoyment of the performance, making you feel (almost) like you're there.

Television remains a criminally under-appreciated band; the work of guitarists Richard Lloyd and Tom Verlaine on this set is completely jaw-dropping.
