Quine is a monster on "Fear."

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:01 (twelve years ago)

^^ should have linked to the clip of Quine's solo.

sleeve, Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:01 (twelve years ago)

As is Saunders, for that matter.

god look at li'l Mike Rathke, he looks like he's in jr. high

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:02 (twelve years ago)

I love that Fear's notes credit Eno with "Eno"

sleeve, Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:03 (twelve years ago)

Christ, Saunders is playing octaves?! I always thought he was using some kind of harmonizer dealie.

think that's doane perry on drums? bizarrely, he went on to join jethro tull iirc. (jesus, the things i remember, if only i could make $$$ remembering these things)

tylerw, Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:07 (twelve years ago)

oh wait I'm wrong, it's not perry, it's fred maher...

tylerw, Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:10 (twelve years ago)

who apparently was only 20 years old at the time!

tylerw, Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:11 (twelve years ago)

ah fred maher. right. yeah Rathke was the guitarist on NY I got their names mixed up

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:11 (twelve years ago)

Best non-VU band Lou had. Quine said something like, "He wasn't gonna get any better unless he reformed the Velvets, and he fucked that up, too!"

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:12 (twelve years ago)

okay last one before the top 10

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:14 (twelve years ago)

has some interesting things going on sonically but ugh

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:15 (twelve years ago)

I voted for the Nico version for the sake of simplicity, but the John Cale cover from "Nico Icon" is equally striking:

one way street, Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:18 (twelve years ago)

love "Frozen Warnings", the essential Nico track

Euler, Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:21 (twelve years ago)

my #6 vote ftr

Euler, Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:21 (twelve years ago)

I didn't know that Andy's Chest originated with the VU but that makes sense as it is a "get well" song for Warhol after he was shot. I like all the wild imagery more when I think of it as Reed writing specifically for "Drella"

Iago Galdston, Thursday, 21 November 2013 19:23 (twelve years ago)

Gideon's Bible? Or has that placed already?

Maintenance Engineer of Foolhardiness (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 21 November 2013 20:52 (twelve years ago)

that was no. 35

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 21 November 2013 20:54 (twelve years ago)

Ah OK.

g simmel, Thursday, 21 November 2013 21:03 (twelve years ago)

didn't know there was a video for that

woof, Thursday, 21 November 2013 21:18 (twelve years ago)

Uh oh guys i listened to carrying a gun and now carrying a gun i can't stop carrying a gun saying carrying a gun

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Thursday, 21 November 2013 21:51 (twelve years ago)

I assumed "Hanky Panky Nohow" would make the Top 10; if I'm the only one making that assumption, I guess not.

November Surprise: All American Flyer Top Five

Maintenance Engineer of Foolhardiness (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 21 November 2013 21:55 (twelve years ago)

xp thought of that one too. it might be

g simmel, Thursday, 21 November 2013 22:16 (twelve years ago)

the hot nazi doing well, maybe I'll Keep With Mine

woof, Thursday, 21 November 2013 22:31 (twelve years ago)

Keep it with mine

woof, Thursday, 21 November 2013 22:32 (twelve years ago)

Could be that. I almost voted for it, didn't because there's a take of the original that might be my favorite Dylan track.

"Hanky Panky Nohow," besides being so beautiful, has the great line about religion.

clemenza, Thursday, 21 November 2013 22:39 (twelve years ago)

I've given up hope for Ski Patrol.

I'm sure Andalucia will place in top 10

kornrulez6969, Thursday, 21 November 2013 22:54 (twelve years ago)

andalucia was #24

iatee, Thursday, 21 November 2013 22:55 (twelve years ago)

DON: And what's all this about Nico? Some racist Nazi chick who couldn't sing and somehow ended up in a Fellini movie before ruining a number of our friend Jackson's songs?

GLENN: She also wouldn't double-team us back in '72.

DON: Well, yeah.

Maintenance Engineer of Foolhardiness (C. Grisso/McCain), Thursday, 21 November 2013 23:01 (twelve years ago)

please keep that in the horrible thread it belongs in

sleeve, Thursday, 21 November 2013 23:08 (twelve years ago)

the funny thing is that Frey-Henley could write Nico songs and they'd sound exactly like Nico's.

my wife hates this song, strictly because it contains the phrase "hanky panky" which, apparently, she cannot abide.

Ayn Rand Akbar (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 21 November 2013 23:37 (twelve years ago)

whaaaa? night time rollout? love it!

what do you have to go to school tomorrow? nobody here has school tomorrow?
