A Story

Let me tell you a story. Once I used iTunes Genius to make a playlist using "Sunshine Superman". All the songs in 50-song playlist ranged from the '50s to the '80s. Except one. In with Donovan, The Clash, The Velvet Underground and so on, was a song by The New Pornographers. Crazy iTunes.

Take a Walk

I have little sleep and a long day ahead of me, including a musical I'm in and finding crackers without sesame in them. So, I'm keeping this short. After his time with The Velvet Underground, Lou Reed did his own thing. His only song from this that I know if "Walk on the Wild Side." but it's a good one to be the only one I know. You know, 'cause it's good.

What a Great Band!

I got a poster of The Velvet Underground at a poster sale, about a month ago. You know, the one with the banana, that good ol' crazy Andy Warhol did.


Anyway, "I'm Sticking With You."

Let Me Stand to Show That You Are Blind

When my sister majored in Drama in university, she was in numerous productions, musical and otherwise (mostly otherwise, although she's a very good singer). In her third or fourth year (maybe second), she was in a production of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Saw There. It was incredibly well done. But that's not the point. The point is, one of the songs that would play during intermission was this incredible song by a band who pretty much gave birth to Alternative music. Yeah, you know who I'm talking about! This amazing song is "I'll Be Your Mirror" by The Velvet Underground (and, of course, Nico).



If you don't know what I'm talking about when I say "and Nico," then do some research. It's actually quite interesting; it'll be worth your while.
