The Velvet Forum

They're both classics, but Lady Godiva's Operation is an *experience*. And it's even less like any other song ever made than most of their material.

That big surreal painting on the wall that depicted some sort of violent situation? I didn't see the faces on it closely. It seemed like the kind of crappy post-cubist token art that a peyote addict like him would own.

Here's a tough question... Which one is sexier??

And in my book, inversion doesn't quite equal perversion :P It's interesting you say that, because come to think of it the whole musical "inversion" thing equalling "phallic deviation" or whatever, might actually have a point... about a hundred years ago (roughly) the word "inversion" was a ...
