As is now tradition, requests solicited and honored when possible, though I'd rather asphyxiate in a giant noxzema jar of my own earwax than listen to any version of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" (especially Jeff Buckley's), and I love Leonard Cohen.
Also, ixnay on the Elvetsay, please. This is true, forgive me: I honor the Velvets more for what they spawned than the music they produced. Planet borrowed my box-set (the one with the banana that peels off) because some kid was yodeling about the wonders of VU, and when she returned it (unimpressed) I listened to it and... it hasn't aged well for me (though, again, I honor their influence). And I'm not a Lou Reed fan. And this is John Cale's birthday. Other than that, request anything!
Collaborations (other than with Reed) welcome, like this one, a multiple time Theme Song of the Month, and possibly the most posted song here ever. (LOUD! please):
UPDATE!
Ethan does the work for me!
- All of Church of Anthrax, one of my all-time favorite albums ever of all time ever.
- Gideon's Bible.
- Paris 1919.
- Buffalo Ballet.

Also, Blood and Treasure has a song! Bmpthnx!
I think I remember seeing Patti Smith with John Cale at one of her Birthday Party/New Year's concerts at the Bowery Ballroom, back when I still lived in NYC.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if that's on the innertoobz somewhere?
