Never Again....

'Twas my annual Christmas work night out last night and although it was a great night I seem to have lost most of Sunday somehow. Mexican may seem an odd choice for a Chrimbo dinner but as we will all be seeing more than enough "traditional" Xmas fare soon enough it seemed as good a choice as any.

Velvet Underground - Beginning To See The Light

Standing On The Corner....

Even people who generally do not appreciate the music of The Velvet Underground will testify to the greatness of Sweet Jane. Apparently this was Reed's attempt at writing a hit for the Velvet Underground, who as we all know were highly influential, but were completely commercially overlooked. Originally released without the coda we finally got to hear the track as intended on '95's Peel Slowly box set. It is quite simply a seminal track that has one of the best riffs ever recorded.
