It is clear that this was a band intent on aesthetic, and not commercial, goals. According to Sterling Morrison, the group “never had an agenda for success.” John Cale describes the members of the group as “anarchists — but anarchists with heart.” And Lou Reed recalls advice from Warhol: “Andy said to me, ‘Whatever you do, keep all the dirty words.’ Essentially he was saying, ‘Don't make it slick. Don't make it smooth and ruin it.’ And we didn't.” (Fricke 1995)

In parts. Not as good as the Monks though. And certainly not as good as the Shaggs.

nomowish · 11.11.2006, 07:41 PM

Anyone see the Vietnamese film The Vertical Ray of the Sun (2000, dir. Anh Hung Tran)? I think that each new day began with a brother and sister waking up to "Pale Blue Eyes"... Anyone do this to one particular song (not necessarily a VU song)?

Without question one of the most exciting, creative, under valued and most important bands of all time.

sonicl · 11.12.2006, 02:48 AM

I appreciate them, but I honestly can't remember the last time I felt the urge to listen to them.
