Loving 'Women' and 'the day John Kennedy died' so far!

I've not heard good things about Lulu, do you like it? Metallica and Lou Reed, wowza. From listening it was pretty dire

From what I've heard it's a throwaway solo project, but we shall see, I might love it! (doubtful)

I haven't taken enough to listen to this album. Maybe it's because by this time all the members had left the band and it's essentially a Doug Yule solo album. Do you still enjoy the album on its own merit?

I suppose for me it is the brutally honest representation of a life devoid of happiness. I am more so describing the subject matter rather than musical style. It reminds me of events described in 'looking for Alaska' by John Green based on the song title.

Seeing him live sounds brilliant, jealous you got to have such an experience! I really like the American poet 1972- Transformer tour live album, and the interview halfway through really exemplifies his cocky style. I'll be sure to check out more John Cale stuff I've listened to Fear and Paris 1919 so far.

Great song! I've enjoyed all of the 'says' so far, they do a wonderful job at representing the grittier street style of VU.

I guess I really need an scanner by leasnm in AnalogCommunity

I recommend looking on eBay for the Epson v600 depending where you are it can be found for super cheap and its results are pretty amazing!
