Review of VU book by Jim DeRogatis, The Velvet Underground: An Illustrated History of a Walk on the Wild Side
More >
The Velvet Underground has recently been getting more attention, as indie rock has climbed to pop status. Indie rock is only one of many genres influenced greatly by the VU, but like a famous painter they never saw much success when they were out there doing it. The story of NYC’s original hipsters is now chronicled in an illustrated book by Voyager Press, The Velvet Underground: An Illustrated.

The Velvet Underground were captured on 45 rpm mono singles, all of which failed to chart and are highly collectable these days. A replica box set containing the original four, two cancelled and a radio promo disc can never replace the real thing. The Box comes with vintage photos and new liner notes by Rolling Stone's David Fricke. All Tomorrow’s Parties b/w I'll Be Your Mirror (Verve VK-10427.

When this album was released in 1967 it was largely ignored. Fools. Since then it has been recognized as one of the most influential and critically lauded rock albums in history. It was recorded in 1966 during Andy Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable multimedia event tour, which I wont even try to describe. Don’t know if it was [...]

JJ Johnson is out in front with Mingus and Gillespie hot on his heels.Released in 1970 'Loaded' was the last album the Velvets would bang out in the studio. 'Loaded' g...

Inspired By Tim Duffy 2008 was a shit year for music. With the economy falling down around us, the music industry continued to crumble under the pressure of the internet...falling down, down, down and barely even pulling in a cent (or so they would like you to believe). Bands inspired by the few cash cows we have left aped and copied their way through records. Folks were led to believe that...

I'm going to level with you. To anyone at all familiar with the Velvet Underground, or with The Velvet Underground and Nico, there is no way that my review is going to be comprehensive enough, or even good enough, to re-articulate to you why this album is one of the greatest rock-n-roll works that mankind will ever produce. I do feel, however, that we lucky and (probably) rabid fans need to, fr...

A good example of the multi-media head trip that was Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable is viewable in the form of a film by Ronald Nameth over at Ubu.comHere's a quote of some of the info cited about this performance:"Music: The Velvet Underground & Nico, I'll Be Your Mirror and European Son from The Velvet Underground & Nico LP and It Was a Pleasure Then from Nico's Chelsea Girl LP, ...

It must be Rock And Roll Wednesday. The "turn it up!" kids are out on the street: too tall, too skinny, too much black, too many bangles, too much hair styling, all rocking the music on their t-shirts. In five minutes of walking I see:Sonic Youth logoT-Rex logoA Sounds magazine cover from 1976 featuring Thin LizzyFirst Joy Division cover (a day not seeing that is a day you spend at home)Led Zep...
