I don't make my own soap. WHFS back in the day used to play Walk on the Wild Side. My Mom and I would laugh at the lyrics. We both thought it was a good song. Then I found out through other bands who VU was. I haven't seen Juno yet. Is it any good?

ah, so that's the origin of all your current hatred - it's the consequence of your past feeblemindedness and lack of backbone. tell me, was this period of inability to stand up for yourself during the time you were living in a sorority?

No, I enjoyed every single second of living in a sorority house. I've seen the light with regards to "going along with the crowd." It's obvious you and vansmack firmly believe the spew of bullshit that comes out of your respective mouths. And isn't it hypocritical for YOU to call someone else spineless? Do you not have a soapbox in your regular lives? Are you that beat down by your respective wives/partners that you have to come on here and pontificate on every little bit of minutia that comes down the line?

Please, I need more of your opinion about your "problem with prostitution." About 5,000-6,000 more words on that. We all need to be enlightened. You weren't once turned down by a prostitute were you? Did your check bounce? That could be scarring to one's psyche.

Sorority - Is that what they're calling Mom and Dad's basement these days?

I have it on good authority that econo took Soap Making 101 his junior year of the college.

There were a lot of hemp necklaces, dreads and patchouli oil. That's all I'm at liberty to say…

If Lou had only put out one cd, his late '80's release 'New York' , he would still be a legend. Tours Europe all the time, pretty rare in the states outside of the occasional NYC gig. Got my tix today.

i might be wrong on this, but i am a warhol freak, and i'm pretty sure that andy saw right through lou, and saw him as a pompous, arrogant prick who thought his own music was god over all. (sort of like david byrne.)

That may be true, but I bet he appreciated Lou's buff body.

Prepare to be viciously stoned for your views. There's a lot of people around here who worship at the feet of Mr. I INVENTED ALTERNATIVE MUSIC AND HAVE THE EGO TO PROVE IT! God knows why. Especially Julian. I think his exact words were:

"Lou Reed could come on stage, smoke a cigarette and proceed to loudly break wind for five solid minutes and I would call it the best concert I'd ever been to."

Aren't most people in bands like this?

Hey all, I've never been to a show at the 9:30 club and I'm trying to plan out my metro route so I can come from school. If the show starts at 7:30, any rough estimates when it would end? Before 12, right?

Doors are at 7:30.


This will most likely mean Melt-Banana at 8:45, Lou Reed at 9:30-10. And yes, chances are the show will be over by 12.
