This compilation hits that sweet nuthin’ spot for me

https://efficientspace.bandcamp.com/album/ghost-riders

A North American road trip of coming of age garage soul mapped by Ivan Liechti, Ghost Riders is Efficient Space’s latest narrative compilation, hovering in a liminal emotional ravine between moonlight melancholy, teenage heartache and unchecked, unrealised ambition. Across 17 open hearted ballads recorded 1965-1974, the 2LP collects and connects dots between British Invasion fanatics, child prodigies, the loners and the luckless, in a kind of trans-continental survey of those swept up in rock’n’roll mania and buoyed by local newspaper ads promising fame and gold records.

Al Stewart - “year of the cat” (obviously) and “in Brooklyn”

the new ratboys single fits the bill. it would fit even better if there was a thread called "songs that sound like 'debris' by the faces"

man mary chapin carpenter goes so hard on "between the dirt and the stars"

i may be stretching the aesthetic parameters of this thread a bit but

atlanta rhythm section - so into you (live) (1979)

I love that song, one of my favs

it always made me think of paul simon - oh marion for some reason

Glad this thread was revived because said VU song (and indeed Loaded but specifically said song) was featured prominently and diagetically in last week's Loki episode. Bit an an amazing moment!

Uncle Michael on Hinky Dinky Time/WFMU just played and eulogised "Oh! Sweet Nuthin", and called it "the most Lou Reed song that Lou Reed never wrote". Not sure I agree with that, but okay. He also mentioned Loki as Ned said above. I was waiting for him to mention the Spotify playlist, but sadly, no. Btw the track should be on the playlist, shouldn't it?? I want to recommend it to ppl and refer to the track, so I've had to duplicate it and add the song..

“that Lou Reed never wrote"? I don’t get it…

I guess assuming incorrectly that Doug Yule wrote it because he sang it?

I am pretty sure I am not misremembering that that is what he said, he said Yule wrote it. Anyway, there's your answer Uncle Michel, that's why it sounds so Lou Reedish

It’s credited to Lou Reed

And always has been. Nowhere does it say “this song was written by my brother Doug.”

If he'd said "Friends" I might have agreed with him.

Didn't early copies of Loaded say "all songs by the Velvet Underground", a Steve Sesnick gesture?

Yes. I think Lou got the lawyers involved.

would add 'til it gets dark' by the dwindling party, which is a user tylerw joint, but it doesn't seem to be online

it's not wholly unlike 'doug martsch sings oh! sweet nuthin' but i'm sure tyler has heard that before

there are v. good guitars but i (sappily, admittedly) wanted a jam fadeout

haha, i'm flattered / amazed anyone remembers the dwindling party! thanks, mookie, high praise indeed.

Just updated the link for the whole album over here ... I have not revisited this stuff in a long time ... https://doomandgloomfromthetomb.tumblr.com/post/26650006390/the-dwindling-party-a-re-up-of-my-very-own-album

apologies for dropping this here, but recently have been listening again to Brian McMahon's (ex-Electric Eels) 17 Volts, which is very Lou sounding (though not OSN specifically) to my ear and doesn't seem to have every been mentioned on ILM. love this (and the whole record):

I see Hozac published a memoir from McMahon in 2017, but no copies about for less than collector scum pricing.

Haven't seen that episode of Loki but I'm slowly working my way through Fringe and Oh Sweet Nuthin' showed up in one of the episodes I watched this week! Who knew there were so many VU deep cut fans out there in TV land!
