If I recall correctly, I may have once or twice been heard to think out aloud a suggestion that the Velvet Underground were/are over rated – on reflection I think alcohol and a little bit of shyte stirring may have been involved – nonetheless, have seen John Cage [*edit Cale] live but sadly now never get to see Lewis Allan Reed – RIP Lou.

Sunday Morning – the first song on their first album, a song written by Reed/Cage [*edit Cale] back around 1966 originally for Nico to lead vocal but instead Lou took the role, still my favourite Lou Reed song – and yeah, things were only to go backwards from there hey John? ;)

From someone who obviously knows a hell of a lot more than me re Lou…
R. I. P.
Lou Reed, a massively influential songwriter and guitarist who helped shape nearly fifty years of rock music, died today on Long Island. The cause of his death has not yet been released, but Reed underwent a liver transplant in May.
Look back at Lou Reed's remarkable career in photos
With the Velvet Underground in the late Sixties, Reed fused street-level urgency with elements of European avant-garde music, marrying beauty and noise, while bringing a whole new lyrical honesty to rock & roll poetry. As a restlessly inventive solo artist, from the Seventies into the 2010s, he was chameleonic, thorny and unpredictable, challenging his fans at every turn. Glam, punk and alternative rock are all unthinkable without his revelatory example. "One chord is fine," he once said, alluding to his bare-bones guitar style. "Two chords are pushing it. Three chords and you're into jazz."
Lewis Allan "Lou" Reed was born in Brooklyn, in 1942. A fan of doo-wop and early rock & roll (he movingly inducted Dion into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1989), Reed also took formative inspiration during his studies at Syracuse University with the poet Delmore Schwartz. After college, he worked as a staff songwriter for the novelty label Pickwick Records (where he had a minor hit in 1964 with a dance-song parody called "The Ostrich"). In the mid-Sixties, Reed befriended Welsh musician John Cale, a classically trained violist who had performed with groundbreaking minimalist composer La Monte Young. Reed and Cale formed a band called the Primitives, then changed their name to the Warlocks. After meeting guitarist Sterling Morrison and drummer Maureen Tucker, they became the Velvet Underground. With a stark sound and ominous look, the band caught the attention of Andy Warhol, who incorporated the Velvets into his Exploding Plastic Inevitable. "Andy would show his movies on us," Reed said. "We wore black so you could see the movie. But we were all wearing black anyway."

Lloyd Cole's still got it! I've been listening to his new album Standards and it is great. Cole has been channelling George Harrison a bit of late and it is evident on this track, Women's Studies. I have also been listening to his 2010 release Broken Record and it is really strong as well. Enjoy.

 
Another of many I'm unfamiliar with KZ :oops: - had to look up, and 'tubed Cut me Down from the second? Commotions album - sounds a little like a mellow Robyn Hitchcock at times through the track [maybe the accent?] One to follow up, :thumbsu:
 
Hahaha, Mr malcontent - My Beautiful Laundrette - [also one in Brunswick St. Fitzroy!] And the film from?? - geez almost 30 years ago now.... :eek:
