Television’s Tom Verlaine is in town with shows at Bowery Ballroom tonight and tomorrow. Today he talked to the NY Post. And by “talked” I mean “fucked with.”

May 18, 2006 — It’s hard to get a straight answer from Tom Verlaine, co-founder of the punk pioneers Television.

Ask him what he’s been up to since he put out his last album in 1992, and he says he’s been mending fence posts, claiming he’s crammed 53 into his apartment.

Ask him how he feels when people refer to him as a guitar legend.

“I feel like I have to get some almond ice cream,” he says.

Stream both of Tom’s new albums — Songs And Other Things and the instrumental Around — at Thrill Jockey.
