Over the weekend, a friend tipped us off about NargoTheBort’s Deviant Subculture, a live-music depot that focuses heavily on classic alt-rock; in particular, we were urged to check out this 1978 concert by Television, as the show’s 16-minute version of “Marquee Moon”–here split over two tracks–was supposedly “nindblowing.” At first we thought that was a typo, but after listening to the expansive (if a bit fuzzy) guitar solo, our nind was, in fact, completely blown:
