"little sister" is lovely. it is funny how sterling morrison was always like "john and I just wanted to RAGE" and then Cale was writing songs like this.

Wanted to put more from the Inside The Dream Syndicate series on my ballot, but "Sun Blindness Music" is so stunning I couldn't imagine my ballot without it.

― the objections to Drake from non-REAL HIPHOP people (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 18 November 2013 19:51 (ten years ago) link
"The Bells" is a pretty great album which I had never heard much before this year. I would have voted "Families" ("And no, no, no, no, no, I still haven't got marriedAnd no, no, no, there's no grandson planned here for you") if it hadn't slipped my mind but I did vote for "I Want to Boogie with You". 1) I really like the way the lyrics are written so that there are just too many syllables but Lou doesn't care, it's not gonna stop him acting cool here, he'll just say the last 4 words all at once and 2) "she thinks that I'm a flop" always makes me crack up!

― Mark G, Monday, 18 November 2013 19:59 (ten years ago) link
"Wild Child" is interesting in that it's easily the best song on his debut, plus one of only a few tracks on the album that was not a Velvets' leftover. I would've been totally unaware of it except that it was inexplicably included on a cassette Best Of I had as a teenager. Lyrics are a bit proto-Walk on the Wild Side, but funny instead of elegiac.

I also think it's hilarious, though I can obviously understand how the lyrics can be offensive. I do think the song is making fun of the narrator, not sympathizing with his lol/awful viewpoints.
there was a piece about snoop, maybe an interview, in either nme or melody maker in the early 90s which opened unironically with "i know what lou reed meant when he sung 'i wanna be black'."
― fit and working again, Monday, 18 November 2013 20:38 (ten years ago) link
hey two of my picks! I voted for "Darling, I Need You" - mostly on the strength of the awesome BBC session performance from the 70's. also voted for Wild Child because it is great, although I have never heard a version that really lives up to the core of the song. that 1st solo record is recorded so strangely.
