Chuck mentioned Northern Ohio as a whole, so that was as good as mentioning the Bizarrosxxxxpost

still think "only life" by the feelies is the right answer to this question.

feelies and bizarros probably my fave lou-apers. but they are two of my favorite bands so i guess i would feel that way.

Cher UK "Baldie" is a virtual rewrite of "Femme Fatale" but I don't know if anyone even remembers the band or this kinda cool album:

Until Lately ... I always heard that as a Fall song rather than VU

"Yo La Tengo is great, scott. I figure they'd be right up yr alley..."
i listened to the wrong album first! sometimes that happens with me and it takes me years to recover.

And not to be all obscure, but there's this killer live show with Blegvad fronting the Golden Palominos where they do a *way* Lou Reed-y version of Special Delivery that just kills the original version.

The Vaselines album released last year is full of faux Reed.

Stupid reviewers always compared them to Pavement, but he's clearly doing Lou Reed if Lou had been a member of Robert Chambers' crowd, or maybe the Last Days of Disco folk. Also I really, really love this video...

Alfred: I forgot the Vaselines were slated to release a new album. Would you recommend it?
scott: if you want, listen to this song and tell me what you think...
