The Velvet Underground's The Velvet Underground and Nico
The Velvet Underground's The Velvet Underground and Nico | Joe Harvard
3 posts | 2 read | 7 to read
The Velvet Underground and Nico has influenced the sound of more bands than any other album. And remarkably, it still sounds as fresh and challenging today as it did upon its release in 1967. In this book, Joe Harvard covers everything from Lou Reed's lyrical genius to John Cale's groundbreaking instrumentation, and from the creative input of Andy Warhol to the fine details of the recording process. With input from co-producer Norman Dolph and Velvets fan Jonathan Richman, Harvard documents the creation of a record which - in the eyes of many - has never been matched.

Mehso-so

Latest finish for #gilmoregirlsreadingchallenge. I'd never heard of this band and am definitely not interested in rock theory or criticism, so expectations were low. LOL It was okay, though, and also helped my #litsyatoz efforts, starting with a V and all.

I also finished Oliver Twist and it was really good if you can ignore the anti-Semitism. 🙄 Reading Madam Bovary now and its excellent so far.

GingerAntics What is the Gilmore Girls reading challenge? That sounds interesting. 5y
Mindyrecycles @GingerAntics It's an attempt to read all of the books mentioned on The Gilmore Girls. Very fun! I'll tag you on a post with more info. 🙂 5y
GingerAntics Oh I am in!!! 5y

Mindyrecycles @GingerAntics Yay hooray! Here's a link to a Google doc that tabulates the percentage you've read. I think you have to save it separately first. Pretty fun! Actually I'll put it in a separate comment so it's easier to copy. 5y
GingerAntics Just pulled up the list. I knew there were a lot of books, but I guess I didn't expect quite that many. I was thinking this was my 2019 reading challenge, but I think it will take much longer than that to read them all. lol I'll have to look over the list to see what I've already read. 5y
Mindyrecycles @GingerAntics it's definitely something to chip away at over multiple years or more like decades. 😂 5y
GingerAntics Yeah, but it will be a fun thing to keep fresh ideas in the TBR pile (which at this rate I'll have to live until I'm 200 years old to finish if nothing else is published past my 50th birthday lol) 5y

This book is a great piece of music journalism, making an interesting analysis of this iconic album in rock history. While I don‘t know a lot about music, I did enjoy reading about the cultural repercussions of this work. Also, Nico was an icon and deserves to be remembered more often.

Mentallofilth I loved the two 33 1/3 books I read - the one on Celine Dion was brilliant - so I will definitely track this one down too. 6y
TheAnitaAlvarez @Mentallofilth I‘ll look it up! (edited) 6y
