From NPR music, you're connected to all songs considered

on Bob Boylan here.

Today with Tom Verlaine, I'm in Washington DC.

Tom Verlaine played with a band in New York City

called Television in the 1970s.

Makes great music still.

Two new records are out.

One is called Around, and the other new record

is called Songs and Other Things.

How you doing, Tom Verlaine?

Pretty good.

For those of you who don't know Tom Verlaine

and the band television, why don't we just start off

and play one bit of a song and give people an idea

of what the heck we're talking about here.

From the LP Marquis Moon, and this is Marquis Moon.

I remember calling, laughing, struggling self

I was listening, listening to the rain

I was hearing, hearing something else

I was listening to the rain
