Re: IWTFM - a new piece of trivia - Buzzcocks

That was a good read. A couple of things... The Music Machine weren't hippies by any stretch. They were a great garage punk band with a real hard sound on a lot of their songs ... like No Girl Gonna Cry for instance. Most of their songs were 2 -3 minutes long. When they played live they all wore one...

Re: IWTFM - a new piece of trivia - Buzzcocks

Are we using this thread for snippets of VU trivia that aren't worth a new one? I was reading the sleevenotes to the Charles Douglas album that Moe Tucker produced and played drums on in the late 90s; " The Lives of Charles Douglas ".

Re: VU covers

Very classy one-man-band cover of Venus in Furs by a lunatic wearing a drumkit on his head. This one will rock any party, guaranteed.

Thanks for that. Wonderful collection.

Re: It was 30 years ago today - Reunion gig 1993

Moe and Sterling toured in 1992. I saw them at the Zap Club Brighton, but before that, in the afternoon I interviewed them. I wish I still had the tape.
