AMANDA PALMER-Several Attempts to Cover tunes by the velvet Underground as well as Lou Reed

by gzji Anime

This album makes me desire I liked Lou Reed’s music more.  people who sing Lou Reed tunes noise so hip.  as well as that goes double for people who dig into the velvet Underground catalog.  I don’t dislike Lou’s stuff, it’s just a bit inaccessible for me.  It never makes me feel anything.  except his “New York” album.  liked that one.

But this isn’t about that.  This is about hipster covers of Lou.

Amanda Fucking Palmer, formerly of the Dreseden Dolls, has the punk cred to pull this off.

The album is mainly live, as well as she doesn’t try to pull out strange tunes or prevent the expected: She covers walk on the Wild Side, waiting on My guy (best cut on the record), Satellite of Love, I’ll Be Your Mirror, as well as ideal Day. She doesn’t do Heroin, however I’m fine with that. That tune makes me want to die.

The album was recorded live, as well as it’s got a wonderful, warm feel–and fantastic noise quality.

I liked it, as well as I’m not a Lou Reed fan. So you’ll most likely dig it, too.
