What's the Rumpus? The Velvet Underground: An Illustrated History of a Walk on the Wild Side
New Velvet Underground Book
-
Artist:
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.

Album:Singles 1966–69
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.

Quick! Your old friends from college are coming over any minute. They all majored in either Accounting, Business, or Nursing, and so they all have real jobs now (you majored in Art History and work part-time in a used book store that your Alderman is constantly threatening to shut down), and they spend their time and money on things that sound... well, “awfully foreign” to you, like “yo-ga,

The Velvet Underground - I’m Waiting For The Man
-
Artist:
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 [...]

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...

...and a little bit of blood. That's what I think of whenever I hear The Velvet Underground's "I'm Sticking With You". I'm talking about my favorite scene from "Morvern Callar," a movie adapted from a novel by Scottish writer Alan Warner. The 1995 film stars Samantha Morton as the title character, an odd lass who steals her boyfriend's funeral money after he commits suicide. Watch this clip of ...
