Re: New Lou/Velvets covers LP RSD

LITA just released Keef doing IWFTM from the forthcoming release. It's nice to see, but not sure I need to listen to it more than once.

Re: Sweet Jane question

I’ll do it. I have an old twitter account . Wait. I cannot see a tweet from him about the article. So how to ask him the question. Truth is, I’m pretty much a native twitter user You used to be able to direct message users on Twitter, but now you can only do so if you are a "verified user" = you pa...

If anyone is a "verified user" on X/Twitter (I'm not!), they can try to contact the author of the article: https://x.com/TomTaylorFO?s=20

Re: Tease from LITA

"Lou Reed Official" posted an interview with Laurie Anderson from Vanity Fair about guiding Lou's legacy. A lot of "there was a soft side to Lou that the public never saw" kind of stuff. Some hints at releases to come, but no real details. https://www.vanityfair.com/style/laurie-anderson-lou-reed-le...

Chelsea Girl with the flutes and the hokey orchestration removed could be interesting.

Re: Tease from LITA

If that's the case, calling this an "archive series" was really overselling it. It’s possible that they just need to negotiate with UMG, Sony, Warners for releases of material that overlap those contractual periods.

Re: Tease from LITA

I respect that. I just don't get why it's part of the "archive series". It's a re-issue of a previous release. Doesn't even have bonus tracks. Anyway I try to look at it, it doesn't fit.
