The TISM Television Primer is a curious piece of musical documentation that really captures the essence of late '80s Australian alternative culture. The mishmash of live clips, music videos, and TV appearances creates a vibe that's both chaotic and engaging. You get this raw energy, especially from their performance at the Old Greek Theatre—it’s like TISM is inviting you into their absurd world. The pacing is a bit erratic, which fits the band's style, and their humor shines through in the way they play with media conventions. All those oddball and clever absurdities, plus the rather distinctive visual aesthetics, make it feel like a time capsule of an era where music and performance art collided in unexpected ways.
