where did you find that at?

 

At a blog; I posted the link in another thread. I believe it was the one about Psychedelic Disaster Whirl.

 

white light white heat is a fabbo album

 

here i have this telaphone for you.

 

The Velvet Underground is one of the best bands ever. I don't care what anyone says. They are in the top five easily.

 

I LOVE THE VELVET UNDERGROUND!!!! they are awsome I don't particulary like Nicos voice but i love the song femme fatale she isn't too bad in that.
Does anyone know of any modern bands like them?

 

They were a unique one-off. Also a product of that whole 60's warhole NY underground scene.
You'll look a long way today to find anyone resembling the velevts.

 

Also flower dear, Nico's voice is about the sexiest of any female singer ever - IMO. eSp on 'all tomorrow's parties'.
