I had started listening to Lou a few years earlier, but had only found my first Velvets album about the time R.E.M.'s Dead Letter Office came out. I especially liked the song What Goes On, so I kind of freaked out when we went to see the "New York" concert in Washington D.C. and got in a bit late only to hear this wild version of What Goes On being played. I was afraid we had missed more than I thought we had, but it turned out to still be the opener, the Feelies, wrapping up their set. I bought the Feelies' Only Life album the next day and was really bowled over by it. I saw another show on that tour a couple of days later in Baltimore, and I made sure to get there early that time. It was one of the best concerts I've ever seen--it didn't hurt that we had front row, center seats at a really nice venue (Meyerhoff Symphony Hall).

I finally got around to listening to the companion CD for the Joe Boyd autobiography "White Bicycles--Making Music in the 1960s"--still working through a huge backlog of CDs from the Tower Records closing sales. Every time I hear the beginning of Chinese White by the Incredible String Band, all I can think of is the arrangement Robyn now uses for Queen Elvis in his shows, with the extended harmonica intro. I seem to remember seeing Robyn play "Chinese White" live at some point, but I might be mixing it up with seeing the Incredible String Band do it two years ago. I know Robyn has played it a couple of times recently at the Joe Boyd shows he did in Austin and New York, but can anyone remember other times he's played it? The Asking Tree says that he also played it at the Bottom Line a few years ago. One song that I know I saw Robyn do at the Largo, which doesn't show up on the Asking Tree site is the Beatles'--Its All Too Much. It makes me curious about what other oddities have slipped through undocumented. Marc To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography and the dancers hit each other.

Ever read Victor Bockris' bio? It's a killer source for Lou stories. Ultimately I think the story on Uncle Lou's drug consumption is on a par with the myth Hunter Thompson created about himself, about which he said something to the effect that nobody could actually behave like that and survive.
