Mr. Heartbreak

From the Penn State Entomology Department: I was told by an exterminator that if you see one cockroach in your place, there may be a hundred or even a thousand back in the nest where it came from. There are two good reasons to fear and detest them in my book.

I've only got it on tape, but I'd guess it's available on CD pretty cheap. I'd dub it for ya if I could, bud!

I haven't heard that one, but I've got some other solo stuff by her and I really think it's good. Not too crazy about the song "Chelsea Girls," but "One More Chance" and "Sixty Forty" are great, and I've always liked her version of Bowie's "Heroes." Avoid the (Live) Heroes album though: it's recorded badly and sounds like shite.

I've always liked Phil's work on other people's albums - especially Eno and Roxy Music - but I have some of his solo stuff too, and really think it's pretty damn cool. I just picked up a tape deck for $15 over the weekend (after finally admitting I will NEVER make the time to convert all my cassettes to mp3s or flac or whatever), and I'm listening to my tape of Phil's "Primitive Guitars" on a real stereo for the first time in years. Some of it's very bizarre but overall it's excellent. Any other Manzanera fans on here?

I'd go with Dylan. Petty will probably tour again in a few years (even if he says he won't), but Dylan is about ten years older and won't be around forever.

Fixed it for ya.

If I had to vote, I'd vote off: ALTWYS Spiders Muzzle of Bees Hummingbird Kingpin

From a 1972 Lou Reed radio interview: Interviewer: Where's Doug Yule? Lou: Dead, I hope. Interviewer: [Gasps] I went to school with Doug Yule, you can't say that! Lou: Well, I did say it, but I didn't really mean it.

rghammo: It looks like the box set is only missing "Andy's Chest" and "She's My Best Friend" from VU (pretty non-essential tracks IMHO), but only has a couple tracks from Another View. I wouldn't say you're missing much, then, as I don't rate Another View very high, but others may disagree.

I like this one even better: http://www.fucksouthdakota.com

I've only got "Velvet Underground" and "Velvet Underground and Nico" on CD, so I am sorely tempted ... especially since I can get it from BMG for 35 bucks including shipping.

1. The Velvet Underground - This kicks ass, especially What Goes On and Beginning to See the Light. 2. The Velvet Underground and Nico - A very close second. I love Nico's versions, especially All Tomorrow's Parties. I'm sure it was quite a novelty in the good old USA at that time to hear anything other than an American or British accent on a record. 3. V.U. - Lisa Says and The Ocean propel this into the 3rd place slot. Excellent. 4. Loaded - Good, but not quite as good as the others (for me). 5. White Light, White Heat - I'm with rghammo, I never got into this album (although the title track

Interesting reviews. Anyone know the reason why things were so different?

Good lists. In addition to much of what's already listed, I would like to add: Missing Persons - Spring Session M Berlin - Pleasure Victim, Love Life Bruce Cockburn - Humans, Inner City Front, Trouble With Normal, Stealing Fire Stones - Emotional Rescue, Tattoo You Steely Dan - Gaucho Donald Fagen - The Nightfly Zappa - You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore, Vol. I-II

I'm not a big fan, but if this is true, I may have to get this too!

~~~~~~(((vibes)))~~~~~~ for a safe return...

On the plus side: Boys of Summer New York Minute End of the Innocence On the minus side: Dirty Laundry - Come to think of it, I could have listed that one in the Best Torture Music thread ...

Skynyrd, Kansas and Billy Joel? Not the best music of all time, but c'mon, you guys can do better than that. How about a vote for the most annoying song of all time? My Humps by the Black Eyed Peas Hearing it once is torture, but if that doesn't make you give up state secrets, then how about ... Conga - Miami Sound Machine Who Let The Dogs Out? - Baha Men 2 Live Crew - Me So Horny Beat It - Michael Jackson Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm - Crash Test Dummies Ironic - Alanis Morrisette Pump up the Volume - M/A/R/R/S Material Girl - Madonna Pretty much any current rap song Oh, and if those don't work, d

I only chose from the WILCO songs on MAI & II ... A.M. - Pick Up The Change, Too Far Apart Being There - Misunderstood, Why Would You Wanna Live MA1 - One By One, Hoodoo Voodoo Summer Teeth - Via Chicago, We're Just Friends MA2 - Secret of The Sea, Joe Dimaggio YHF - I Am Trying To Break Your Heart, Radio Cure YHF EP - Bob Dylan's 49th Beard, Woodgrain AGIB - Wishful Thinking, Hell Is Chrome

Jeff Tweedy Lucinda Williams David Byrne Suzanne Vega Jonatha Brooke Jay Farrar Ani Difranco Bono Tom Waits ... and I think a case could be made for Emmylou Harris!

I've said it before on VC: I grew up during the 70s, and pop was great. Unbelievable diversity. Of course there was plenty of shlock, as in any era, but there was so much quality stuff playing on the radio, it was amazing. A few songs that were once "Top 40 radio" fodder: Golden Years - David Bowie Imagine - John Lennon Bennie & The Jets - Elton John Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd The Joker - Steve Miller Band The Tears Of A Clown - Smokey Robinson & The Miracles Let It Be - The Beatles My Sweet Lord - George Harrison Me And Bobby McGee - Janis Joplin Uncle Albert/Admiral Hals

I was looking for the 'stoned-out Pink Floyd fan coffeehouse intellectual' option, myself.
