3 Velvet Underrground Albums

the world exploded...and there was nothing left but cockroaches, twinkies and keith richards

 

Wow... no offense lord, but that just sounds like some mysterious occurance/prediction you'd hear in revelation. I mean, I am... a religious person, but the problem with religion is people don't know where to insert the laughs, from time to time. Organized religion is almost as bad as politics, sometimes, in that sense.

 

its hard for me to believe a religion that has a holiday that celebrates the resurrection of its savior, but cant pick a set day on when that happens...i forget when easter came up. and whats up with the bunny rabbit jesus? ya know what...dont answer it, i'll just let my imagination come up with it



so i bought the velvet underground and nico on vinyl yesterday. i almost bought the mono version...which in a sense, the stereo version is probably pretty damn mono to

 

That didn't really make much sense. The latter part of the first portion of what you said.

Rabbits, or hares rather, are an ancient symbol of fertility... fertility = rebirth, rebirth=resurrection, just like the pineapple has always been the colonial virginia symbol of good hospitality/splendor, as that was as rare as hen's teeth back then among cobblers and commoners.

It's really not that complicated.

 

i understand that. but why didnt anyone tell me in the first place im missing out on life mang

 

Haha, respectively mang, that's the problem I see with this side of the world... everyone expects things handed to them or you're entitled to an opinion without actually knowing what your opinion really means, meanwhile, progressing themselves so blindly that they actually forget tradition and what history actually means in present tense, and end up becoming ass-backwards, because we're too busy trying to keep up with the little things on the side... That's a social or societal problem, not just a religious or political problem. You have it so good that you forget what's up... it's sort of like our population being extremely drunk+high off their asses on pills, as a whole, at the same time. I mean really, that's how I feel when I watch c-span or news of any sort and see all our people...

Generally, arguments pro or con, towards religion, make no sense... they're illogical becuse things just don't work that way in the real world. Real world meaning universal/transcendental real world, not the societal lalaland real world that everyone refers to and seems to reside in wether they like it or not, because we, as human beings, created it and have too much pride in it, even though only half of it really means anything... It's only when you're at your last straw, your last drop, your last wits, when you realize you're not at your own mercy because shit just won't ever roll like that once you take away the glitter and sugar cookies and you're stranded at sea or dead in the water.

Just one of those things you have to figure out. I can't stand saying stuff like that. It's too depressing, but there's also that sense of hope.

 

N-E-Wayz... Back to Los Velvets.

Maybe you should have gotten that Mono copy of the VU & Nico, Paul. I don't know for sure about that album, but back in the '60s, the mono mixes were often the main mixes that the engineers spent the most time on. Sometimes the stereo mixes were just made by the tape op or someone else handy. So yeah, that could be the case...
