Not as much as Bo Jackson Overdrive (or worse, the 'nebb).

I had a roommate whose bedroom was adjacent to mine. thin walls, and he played it constantly. that and the 3rd & 4th talking heads records. gaaaah. i also don't like brian eno's pop stuff because of this guy.
:-( Did you live with me last year? What a shame to have these albums ruined for you!

can definitely see how it'd be annoying if heard all the time though!
search: that 'live at the old waldorf' boot that rhino handmade put out in some ridiculously limited number a few years back; i think you can get it off itunes now if you wanna buy.

yessssss, the live at the waldorf disc is positively mindbending. also it is super-crunchy. when i interviewed richard lloyd a few years back, he said this: "That's the chainsaw heavy-metal version of the band," he jokes. "We were playing Ampeg V-4 amplifiers on that tour. They were the size of a fucking house! Keith Richards talked us into using them. The Stones were using those outdoors for stadium shows, and we were playing indoors for 500 people!" i've gotten heavily into television bootlegs over the years -- there are a ton of them! it's pretty fascinating to hear the pre-Marquee Moon recordings that show how the band developed the songs into the perfect versions that are on the album.

I also have a knee-jerk "turn it off!" reaction to Marquee Moon from overexposure. It's too bad. But I wouldn't mind hearing Adventure some more.

I really should have got that "waldorf" disc when I had the chance!

yeah, it is really silly that they put that out in such a limited format ... i think it was rhino handmade's fastest sellout ever. and it's a pretty vital addition to Television's scant discography. but i guess you can get it via itunes or other more nefarious means ... just google it.

Did y'all catch that they have finally committed "about 10 tracks" to tape with another session in the offing? Apparently Jimmy Rip has been pushing everyone to get the new album done.
