Everytime I visit the Warhol museum I go in with an MP3 player and headphones to be sure I listen to Bowie's Andy Warhol, and side one of the 1969 VU live album so I get "What Goes On".

Here are some pictures I took of Reed when he was at the Warhol Museum here in Pittsburgh back in 2007.

Smile on, Lou...

Yeah, this sucks. RIP, Lou.

Vicious :(

Love him or hate him, Lou influenced all of us.
I know I'll miss him.

He was a genius. R.I.P.

Sorry, i can´t stop to hear to this stuff tonight.

I was shocked too at this very sad news!
He (and his Velvet Underground) was truly probably THE most important musician for my generation. Or at least to me..
One of the very first LPs i bought o my own as a kid about 12, was "Rock´n´Roll Animal". That album that day changed my life.
I owe this awesome musician very much too...
Goodbye Lou and thank you for everything!

Music won't be the same without him. Legend. :(
Listening to the Velvet Underground & Nico for the first time was a life changing experience for me. It changed how I viewed music. God knows what I'd be listening today if I didn't come across that album...
Thanks for the music Lou

At 6:30PM, BBC Radio 6 Music broke the sad news that Lou Reed died today. When I heard this, I was shocked that one of the most super-talented and seminal musicians in rock'n'roll had just left the building. To think that this man had influenced my record collection, from the Stonesy garage of I'm Just Waiting For The Man, the icily exotic Venus in Furs to the frat rock of White Light White Heat and the stripped down and optimistic R&B of There She Goes, Reed ran the gammut that appears in my record collection from countless other bands. Without Venus in Furs, there would be no gothic rock or heavy metal. Without the mix of Chuck Berry riffs and feedback, there would be no Sex Pistols. Without the dreamy Kinks meets Beach Boys pop of Sunday Morning, there would be no Cocteau Twins or Mazzy Star. Whether we were play music or just listen to it, we owe this man everything.
Thanks Lou.

Hmm, nope, John. The Iceman is Deniz tek.

Sorry I meant Youtube
October 28, 2013 4:07 AM CDT
Am now listening on Spotify. A different recording truly and quite exciting for me!
October 28, 2013 3:58 AM CDT
OK thanks for that everyone. I will look out for a copy most definately.

The Iceman? In Chicago , that's what they call Jerry Butler. You mean Dennis "AND BY THE WAY , WE WERE THE WORLD'S FORGOTTEN BOYS ! NOT THE STOOGES ! NOT IGGY THE FAGGOT !" Thompson , don't you? I got ya. I only saw him , once , on that tour , too , and he had a single , not a double drumkit , and Wayne had a Fender , not a Marshall amp. Garage 101 , baby. I did see Michael Davis once , and Wayne Kramer , several times. I read in MOJO that he and Rat Scabies are working on a project with Wilko "FUCK CANCER !" Johnson.

Yeah, I think John is right! (So, I said "it's worth getting".)
The First And The Last - Recorded live at Selina's, Sgt. Peppers, Manly Vale Hotel and Crystal Ballroom, Apr & May 1981. Overdubs and mixing at Trafalgar studio, Sidney, Australia.
Chris Masuak extra guitar on "Columbia" & "Looking At You". Pip Hoyle piano on "Descent Into The Maelstrom".
I've seen only the Iceman as a member of DKT/MC5.

i'M PRETTY CERTAIN ALL 3 OF THESE LPS WERE FROM DIFFERENT SHOWS. I FORGET IF EACH VENUE IS LISTED OR NOT....BUT , THEY SOUND LIKE VERY DIFFERENT SETS. NEITHER OF THE REVENGE SETS SOUND LIKE THEY CONTAIN EXCERPTS"THE FIRST AND THE LAST" TO ME. REVENGE'S MODUS OPERANDI IS TO TAKE PRIVATELY - OWNED RECORDINGS , LIKE THESE, AND MAKE THEM SEMI - LEGIT, THO' I DON'T THINK THE ARTISTS GOT PAID , OR , IF THEY EVER DID , IT WAS'NT MUCH. THERE COULD BE OTHE RRECORDINGS , STILL. I FORGET HOW MANY DATES THEY DID , BUT , THEY BULLDOZED THROUGH AUSTRALIA , THEN SPLIT. I WOULD IMAGINE SOMEBODY TAPED EVERY SHOW. I MISUNDERSTOOS WHAT YOU'D WRITTEN . IT'S POSSIBLE SOME PEOPLE , NOT YOU , THINK NEW RACE AND RADIO BIRDMAN ARE ONE AND THE SAME. THEY'RE CERTAINLY ONE OF THE BETTER DETROIT HIGH ENERGY "SUPERGROUPS" , WITH , TECHNICALLY ONLY TWO AUSTRALIANS ON BOARD , AS DENIZ TEK IS ALSO FROM DETROIT. I SAW RADIO BIRDMAN WHEN THEY FIRST TOURED THE STATES , IT WAS SAVAGE ! BUT , A FEW YEARS LATER , I SAW POWERTRANE WITH SCOTT MORGAN (RATIONALS , SONICS RENDEZVOUS.) AND ROBERT GILLESPIE (MITCH RYDER , ROB TYNER) .THAT WAS THE EVER-LUVIN' SHIT !!!! IT DOES'NT SOUND LIKE RADIO BIRDMAN IS GOING TO REFORM AGAIN , BUT , IF THEY DO , I'M THERE.

Right, thanks. It's the Revenge albums I have with the Bob Mitchum and John Wayne covers and they are called 1st to pay and 2nd wave. They were on Spotify even which is where I first heard them.
Looking at the track listing for The 1st and the last it's made up tracks from the Revenge albums so I guess it's bits from 2 gigs. Sad; I hoped there was another recorded gig I hadn't heard.
I know it's not Radio Birdman but with 3 members playing in New Race and quite a few Birdman numbers I can't imagine any Birdman fans not loving New Race. It's the drums i love; Thompson is pretty full on. Having said that Ron Keeley is a magnificent drummer. It's just nice to hear the Birdman 3 enjoying playing with their heroes.
Still haven't see Radio Birdman. Hope I get the chance one day.

Just remembered sonething: the biggest critics of disco were the biggest supporters of reggae, especially in England.

Two song I hate myself for liking to sing:
"N-word Rich" by the Oblivians
"P*ssy Stank" by Andre Williams
Both songs are really catchy and are great groovers, but being African-American male who really loves women, I just can't be singing those songs while walking down the street.
