Lou Reed Solo

xp it's apparently a dude named rick bell.
hilarious that the keyboard player is named Woody Smallwood

Hey Lou, at least your arch-rival Frank Zappa hired Don "Sugarcane" Harris.

lol @ Woody Smallwood.

Think we should keep addressing Lou directly on this thread until his revenant shows up to provide us with posthumous spilkes.

I am currently contemplating the sort of person whose taste falls in the Venn diagram of Bruce Hornsby & Krautrock

Go over to the Introduce Yourselves! thread and find out.
(Ha, xp)

lol
"tell it to your heart" really is pretty sweet on that video, like some kind of jersey shore balearic power ballad.

bass solos are really the most useless thing in the history of music

It can be done well, but it is not really part of the job description.

Plus, general public impressed by any old nonsense. "Look he plays some stuff on those strings! Not everybody can do that!" When the truth is more like, nobody wants to hear it so a lot of guys just aren't allowed to do it.

Saunders justifies his presence in Lou's band with the "Waves of Fear" opening:

He was better with Bohannon

... of course, he didn't play fretlesss then

Rototoms! Man I love Lou with Quine so much.

i mean i may turn around on it, lou reed with the silver bullet band does sound not unamusing

Seger doing a 14-minute "Hollywood Nights" with VU (or at least The Feelies) would be pretty good, too.

Is everyone playing a game of "Let's see how far this thread can go without anyone mentioning The Blue Mask?"

Guess I lost.

waves of fear video posted an hour ago

Ah. My search skills are lacking

aaah was wondering how that went!!

sounds pretty good.

Hi, guys.

Is "Better Back Off" from the Crenshaw album with Saunders and Kenny Aronoff? That tune rules

Someone should do a Lou tribute night playing nothing but Saunders-backed tunes

so there's tons of weird odds and sods of lou's soundtracks stuff, cameos, etc on spotify...compiled them on this spotify mix

he had a song on the Friends soundtrack that should have been a hit!

good idea! i remember looking at the friends sdtk in tower records wondering if i should buy it because of the lou reed song. the 90s.

sounds like a Set the Twilight Reeling outtake.

yeah it probably was...was it actually on the show?
friends sdtk is nuts

"I'll Be There for You"—The Rembrandts
"I Go Blind"—Hootie & the Blowfish
"Good Intentions"—Toad the Wet Sprocket
"You'll Know You Were Loved"—Lou Reed
"Sexuality"—k.d. lang
"Shoe Box"—Barenaked Ladies
"It's a Free World, Baby"—R.E.M.
"Sunshine"—Paul Westerberg
"Angel of the Morning"—The Pretenders
"In My Room"—Grant Lee Buffalo
"Big Yellow Taxi (Traffic Jam Mix)"—Joni Mitchell
"Stain Yer Blood"—Paul Westerberg
"I'll Be There for You"—The Rembrandts

"I Go Blind" got airplay.I know "Sexuality" from the k.d. lang album released at the same time, and the Pretenders' Juice Newton cover was a b-side? I think it was the b-side for "Night in My Veins."

funny that westerberg got two slots just like on the singles soundtrack.
anyway, i recommend this lou boot from 1979. just listened to it today. terrible jokes during sweet jane. i think an audience member gets arrested, too.

'stain yer blood' is from the one where tribbiani murdered someone who was competing with him for a part in a commercial

Could you be more 90s?

how lou doin'

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view1/1153216/how-you-doin-o.gif

"It's a Free World, Baby" was also on the coneheads soundtrack

so funny! i was about to bring up westerberg and the singles soundtrack and how the nananananana NA NA song sounded like the friends theme song and how much i thought that sucked at the time but you guys did it for me!
lol the 90s indeed
