Im gonna just come right out and say Ive never really listened to VU.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑26 Oct 2021, 8:14amYeah, it's seductive to think of post-Cale as a retreat or cop-out. I remember reading about the mystique of the Velvets and being avant garde and challenging … and then hearing Loaded. What am I missing? Different beast, different way of approaching common subject matter.matedog wrote: ↑26 Oct 2021, 7:56amThe Cale/drone element is what really caught my ear when I first listened to VU. It just sounded so cool and weird that when I listened to ST, I thought, “what is this generic pop shit?” Like, how did they go from weird to normal? I thought most bands went the other way around. Took me awhile to appreciate the post-Cale stuff.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑25 Oct 2021, 7:08pm
Kinda good. I admit that when I was 16 a lot of the harsher, dronier stuff went over my head, but it's what catches my ear more now.

If you want more conventional stuff, start with Loaded. If you want to dive into abrasive, start with White Light/White Heat, or the Banana Album and skip the Nico songs.

Saskatchewatching is a better spectator sport than a participatory sport.
