The Linn story is awesome! Some slippery roads, the nervous audio geek and his happy customer, and of course a little violence thrown in for a true NYC-in-Glasgow experience. I also like the snippet at the end of the very wordy blog piece linked earlier, Lou Reed sitting alone ordering a pizza with "extra garlic but not too much garlic." A classic wise-guy setup on the one hand, but also a show of faith in the pizza guy to get it right. -- Tom Fine ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Kulp" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 9:29 PM Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] Excellent Lou Reed rememberance > Peter Gabriel on > Lou****https://petergabriel.com/news/tumblr-post/65331341832/oh-lou-where-have-you-gone/*****The > Day Lou Reed Came To > Linn*****http://blogs.linn.co.uk/music/gilad-tiefenbrun/the-day-lou-reed-came-to-linn.php > > Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 17:15:42 -0600> From: [log in to unmask]> Subject: Re: [ARSCLIST] > Excellent Lou Reed rememberance> To: [log in to unmask]> > I like this piece:> > http://kreftingmoondawn.wordpress.com/2013/10/29/how-do-you-think-it-feels-and-when-do-you-think-it-stops/> > > > On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 4:58 PM, Tom Fine <[log in to unmask]>wrote:> > > Here's some > imagery to go along with this: Lou Reed and Nico at Scepter> > Studios, NYC, 1966:> > > http://25.media.tumblr.com/**tumblr_ljcetzypnL1qbfoleo1_**500.jpg<http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ljcetzypnL1qbfoleo1_500.jpg>> > >> > This blog site has a link to download the "rare" VU acetate without the> > aggressive > over-processing on the commercial release:> > > http://fm-shades.blogspot.com/**2007/01/velvet-underground-**> > > nico-april-1966.html<http://fm-shades.blogspot.com/2007/01/velvet-underground-nico-april-1966.html>> > >> > -- Tom Fine> >> > ----- Original Message ----- From: "david goren" <[log in to unmask]>> > > To: <[log in to unmask]>> > Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2013 6:43 PM> >> > Subject: Re: > [ARSCLIST] Excellent Lou Reed rememberance> >> >> > It's been said that only 250 people bought > the first Velvet Underground> >>> LP -- but every one of them went out and started a band.> >>>> > >>> >>> >>> >> Actually, that stems from a 1982 quote from Brian Eno who said the VU's> >> first > five records only sold 30,000 but everyone who bought one started a> >> band.> >>> >> > http://blogs.wsj.com/**speakeasy/2013/10/29/how-many-**> >> > albums-did-lou-reed-and-the-**velvet-underground-really-**sell/<http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2013/10/29/how-many-albums-did-lou-reed-and-the-velvet-underground-really-sell/>> > >>> >>> >> On Oct 29, 2013, at 6:29 PM, Paul Stamler <[log in to unmask]> wrote:> >>> >> On > 10/28/2013 8:07 PM, Tom Fine wrote:> >>>> >>>> Marc Myers hits all the right points.
