Artist:
Rolling Stone is reporting that the Who will, indeed, be playing February's Super Bowl but the official announcement won't be made until Thanksgiving day. Their source also said that the band "signed a long time ago" which supports our theory that the upcoming Greatest Hits set is meant to capitalize on the appearance.According to The Rock Radio, Roger Daltrey also made reference to the group'...

...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 ...

I just discovered mp3 of the holy grail for Velvet Underground fans, The Norman Dolph Acetate that was bought by a vinyl enthusiast for 25 cents. They're not the highest quality fidelity wise but for historical purposes these tracks are essential for any V.U. fanatic. I do suggest you get a little bit lifted while listening to these songs. I chose this different take of I'm Waiting for the Man ...
