      V.U.meters work at 0db (popol..)
      Anyway Cats that look like cats sound like Stoogees (softer though)
      That for Lou Reed contempo reams....later in time Lobstertheramin Ma Snake -other time other place still V.U. meters move at 0dblike the Def fence lijn basketball(wave hand to turn the attacker blind)...(Sunday morning pack of cheaps+hot beer Saltan watch Lakers play with V.elvet soundtrk Got my point?)

    Literally early velvet underground(check out their demoes) is classical(ie baroque/medieval/renaissance),mininalistic-primitive,ancient and traditional folk type music using electric guitars ,bass and drums that's why their music sounds so timeless and touching as well as a little touch of experimetal textures and sounds .
    Amen.

    I can't make out what Nico is singing, but around 1980 I heard on WBAI a performance by Allen Ginsberg who sang "The Nothing Song". Something between comedy and existential pessimism à la Samuel Beckett. He sang "Monday nothing, Tuesday nothing, Wednesday also nothing, Friday and Saturday much more nothing, Sunday also nothing". First in English, then in Spanish, then perhaps Yiddish. But in each language the melody - a minor-key lament - somehow took on the character of the language, as if it were the culture of origin of the song. I don't recall if he was backed up by the Velvets. Perhaps he also played his squeezebox. I haven't been able to find it. Sound familiar to anybody? Can anybody help me out?

    • @alienalajna

      I've just listened via TH-cam, and for all I know it could very well be a Fugs original composition. But seemed just right for Allen Ginsberg to cover it, or do guest vocals with the band. Is there a Fugs or Ginsberg scholar in the house to give us the straight dope on this burning question? Such fun.
