Maybe you could go to this, Jules! His missus is there and maybe God and Creator of Alternative Rock, Lou Reed will let you give him a reach-around.
My goodness, Jules. You really love sucking the dick of overrated pompous asses, don't you? Listen to this:
"He could come on stage, play Heroin and Pale Blue Eyes, walk off, and I'd list it in my top 10 shows of all-time."
"…and he could also fart in my general vicinity and I would think it smelt of fresh-cut roses."
Listen to that! Velvet Underground broke up about fifteen years before you were BORN! And you still want kiss the feet of some mean, bitter New York ***? Knock yourself out!
I like you Jules but maybe you should think about getting a hobby. Polishing the knobs of the Bowies, Reeds, etc. of the world is a betrayal of your generation. Don't be old before your time. Don't be some bitter crank who's suddenly "into vinyl", drinks crappy coffee and wears ironic sweaters.
In that too-jaded, smug, monotone of his, Lou Reed says:
"Julian. You want to hear "Sweet Jane?" "White Light, White Heat?" I'm LOU REED. I will play WHAT I WANT, WHEN I WANT IT! You hear? Just because of your request, I will play an extended, 'jammy' version of "Metal Machine Music" in its entirety. For my encore I will perform a reggae version of "Harry's Circumcision" while my wife spasms in the corner to a video instillation of Burger King wrappers blowing in the wind."
