Terrific thread, anybody own NYC Man? Fucking fantastic.

Sweet Jane is their best. Possibly my favorite song. Pale Blue Eyes is a close second.

They aren't exactly the most popular band nowdays. If you want a bunch of posts about a band, go with Tool, Nirvana, or some shitty black metal band.

Or you could post something about liking rap music, that rattles some cages.

Wow, I hadn't thought about or heard that song for a long time ... and for some reason it made me think of New Age ... which I also hadn't thought about for a while.

Best cover of a VU song I've heard is Jane's Addiction's "Rock & Roll."

jesus

the one that goes "it's the beginning of a new daaaaaaaaaaaaaaay"

how i found the velvets is one of the nicest stories of my life. A weird girl at my school who was about 3 years above me and got my bus just came up to me on the bus one day and said "hi, you look like you'll like this" and gave me a tape.

i have loved them ever since.
