Tom Verlaine released an album in 2006 but other than that he kind of fell off the face of the earth.

It's too bad, because I was huge fan of the guitar playing and the lyrics. Marquee Moon has to be in my top 10 of all catchy guitar songs.

Your style does remind me of him in a way, but I say that as a huge compliment, because I always thought they were the bomb.
