Well, sorta...more like saying the Beatles' version of "All Things Must Pass" (on the Anthology series) was George Harrison. Also a bit more excusable since, unlike with the Beatles, VU songs basically were Reed's songs - no other songwriter for the group. (Cale wrote, what, a couple-three songs during his time in the band?) In other words, the perception that the VU was Reed's show is basically accurate (even though you can make a good argument that Cale's presence was essential to the dynamic of the band, and that once he left, something key was gone). - -- ...Jeff Norman, who will also argue that Cale's post-VU career is way more interesting and with better songs than Reed's overall The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2008 12:11:01 -0400 From: "(0% rh)" Subject: Re: Report from your Lou correspondent... craigie* says: > I used it in a pop quiz many years ago, and marked anyone who had it as Lou > Reed as being wrong.

(i.e. need > details on what ``geometry implicit in the cover'' means, exactly.) Oh I just mean something like abstracting shapes or patterns from the cover images, their composition, etc. Something like: Zenyatta Mondatta, Art Brut's It's a Bit Complciated, and Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works 1 all feature obvious triangles, say (in the case of Art Brut, quite literally so). Other album covers strongly feature circles, or squares, or vertical lines, horizontal lines, or angular lines. Some might be more complex - say, a triangular composition in the upper left half and horizontal lines int he lower right. Or (not exactly "geometrical") portraits of the musician at similar scale. So, not very engineering-like at all. By "geometry" I merely meant "abstracting some sort of form from an image," where basic shapes stand in for that abstraction, and from "shapes" I went to geometry. You know - all vague and illogical-like. - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 00:58:39 -0500 From: 2fs Subject: forthcoming Wire For US fegs: I was able to order this for $12.97 (which includes shipping) from deepdiscount.com... - -- ...Jeff Norman The Architectural Dance Society http://spanghew.blogspot.com ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 1 Jul 2008 00:28:23 -0700 From: "kevin studyvin" Subject: Re: Kunstler quotes "The Master" > just occasionally, i adore natural language. > Is that some kind of math thing, like those transfinite numbers Rudy Rucker likes to babble about till my head hurts? > > one of my favourite onion charts: > http://www.theonion.com/content/node/36750 > > The list of new Celestial Seasonings flavors was great too.
