I wrote a fairly pointless post about this album not too long ago. You can read it here.

I first heard this a few months ago when I was listening through the complete Lou oeuvre. This was a highlight amidst the dreariness of the landscapes of the other 70s albums.

haha, just put this on. there should be a box set a la Live at the Plugged Nickel of this stuff. Liners from the reissue says every show (10 in all, 2 a night) was recorded.

"pale blue eyes" is so weird on this -- I take it that weird droney sound is the "roland guitar synthesizer"?

I literally haven't heard this album in at least twenty years and still when I remember "here comes the condominium - oh, shit!" I can hear it down to the comma

I remember hearing the "fuck Radio Ethiopia this is Radio Brooklyn" line way back in the past, but weirdly, I cannot remember hearing anything else from this album.

i love lou's "i wear a lou reed t-shirt onstage" phase
― tylerw, Thursday, 28 July 2011 01:46 (twelve years ago) link
For some reason this was one of my first Lou solo albums - it made a big impression on me, it sounded so alien and chaotic.Around the same time I bought the first New York Dolls too and I spent a lot of time fantasizing about this dirty, dangerous, all in grainy black and white 70's New York.

this radio show from early '79 is a great companion to take no prisoners. further christgau baiting. http://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/43079765584/fuck-radio-ethiopia-this-is-radio-brooklyn-my

this is great
i swear, the first 15 seconds of this dion and the belmonts song he played sounded like VU, actually the guitar and drums on the whole thing kinda do
― 'glown' with the king (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 14 February 2013 23:09 (eleven years ago) link
yeah there's lots of that kind of thing -- the solo on the crazy elephant track there at the beginning is a dead ringer for lou's VU style too. also awesome when lou talks about critics saying his lead guitar playing is inept. "i never said it was ept!"
― tylerw, Thursday, 14 February 2013 23:16 (eleven years ago) link
"so I only know four or five notes"
― Welcome to my world of proses (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 14 February 2013 23:36 (eleven years ago) link
Lou's "pro-sex"/disco riff also awesome

haha, yeah. happy for lou's health and everything but drunk lou was a lot more fun than sober lou.

It's always great to run into an old friend isn't? Maybe share a beer, tell a few jokes and swap stories about the old days, sharing those happy memories that never fail to put a smile on both your faces (by the way, is that a Christmas tree in the background?)

tyler, that sendspace link tried to install some horrible malware on my pc. just letting you know. 'easylife' or some shit.
― glumdalclitch, Friday, 15 February 2013 12:29 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I packed it too.
― Mark G, Friday, 15 February 2013 12:36 (eleven years ago) link
sorry for the malware! sendspace kind of blows. it worked for other people i heard from... was the file that you ended up with a zip file called "WPIX"? Sendspace is weird -- it gives you a bunch of "Download" links, but the only one you want is the one that says: " Click here to start download from sendspace".
― tylerw, Friday, 15 February 2013 16:06 (eleven years ago) link
