RIP Lou Reed

[Tonkyhonk]

Met him once - his voice will keep singing in my head: sad song sad sad song ...

Tonky i was living with a guy who was a huge LR admirer - for him MMM was one of the biggest pieces of music - so you might imagine how often "i did it"
to be honest my flatmate was an electronics freak and audiophilic so i was enjoying it on a real sophisticated sound system

>.> lou was famous for being horribly difficult in japanese music media too (or writers here are too retarded that they got teased horribly or just as lou said his jokes got never understood by them), but he was so nice to us fans.
cant really say i "met him" like you do, borka, but i "stalked" him lol to get his hand-shake when he came down here for his new york tour.

and ummm no more comments on that album

I don't know much about him, but he has some nice songs - RIP.

This stuff is too mainstream.
I wish I had shit taste in music so I could talk with literally millions other non-hipsters about music.

"Oh Baby you're so vicious ...."

btw. where was you in 1983 when i was listening to Borghesia Galerija Skuc Izdaja Tape ?!? Already in planning stage?.... You prolly even don't know (or care) who Fassbinder was and how that's related to "Ljubav Je Hladnija Od Smrti" ... or what Borghesia, Fassbinder and Lou Reed connects...oh and all love Tom of Finland which connects us to ...


(I'm sure Aldo had listened to MMM aswell... )

Borghesia Galerija Skuc Izdaja -- Fassbinder -- "Ljubav Je Hladnija Od Smrti" ...

i wont pretend that i understood everything lou did. i liked warhol art, but i didnt appreciate many pop arts, poetry-readings or plays. (partly because my english sucked much harder.)
but then, we all know that lou didnt care i still loved him and thats all that mattered to me.

sweet and soft lou trolling a young swedish interviewer for swedish national tv? lol this is so sweet, thanks for the link, borka!
but i think i understand him, legs shaking, being nervous and all... i did almost faint too when i saw him in person myself.

i wonder what could have happened if jorb were born a decade or two earlier and made an interview with lou, trolling each other

It would be 10 whole years until I was born. I will never understand or feel what was going on back then when everything was happening because I wasn't there. We probably see this music differently because at first I was only attracted by Borghesia style of performance, not by the impact to subcultures or society.
Best example of Fassbinders influence on Borghesia?

I would have known about these people and understood what actually was going on before from all those documentary movies and interviews, but too bad that no english or any other translation is available. My interest started with Borghesia, but everything ended with a language barrier.

in the music thread are lyrics for AR

It's easy loudmouthing about culture when belonging to generations that never did create anything - you just have quantities in repeating what others invented ages ago

-snip-that enormous quantity dispersed the quality so 21st Century still hasn’t brought us some new sound. It seems to us that today the whole art is the old art, including music. -snip-
