This way: Ain't that Nothing
If your perfection is perfect, then stay the course. Fred Smith died this week at 77 years old. By all accounts a great bass player. He had all the notes.
Fred Smith (April 10, 1948 – February 5, 2026) was an American bass guitarist, best known for his work with the rock band Television. He was the original bassist with Angel and the Snake, which changed names to Blondie and the Banzai Babies, and then Blondie. He quit in spring 1975 to replace Richard Hell who had left Television over disputes with Tom Verlaine. Hell went on to form The Heartbreakers with Johnny Thunders. At the time, Television played at CBGB along with Blondie.
Adventure is the second album by the American rock band Television, released in April 1978 by Elektra Records.
The music of Adventure have been described as art punk,[1] punk rock and new wave. On the album's sound, Mark Deming of AllMusic writes, "Where Marquee Moon was direct and straightforward in its approach, with the subtleties clearly in the performance and not in the production, Adventure is a decidedly softer and less aggressive disc, and while John Jansen's production isn't intrusive, it does round off the edges of the band's sound in a way Andy Johns' work on the first album did not."
