    #MenAndVolts - “Abba Zabba” (1979)

    There was an uber-serious question posed in ex-punk rock circles back in the day: “who was greater . . . #TheVelvetUnderground or #TheStooges?” Now I'm guessing if Men & Volts heard this, they would’ve responded by gleefully shouting “#CaptainBeefheart!” Indeed M&V once worked up an entire set of Beefheart covers, even playing them live to Boston’s befuddled underground music types a few times in 1979. If you’re a lifelong fan of the Magic Band you probably already know about this lo-fi archival wonder. But everyone else? Get your priorities straight and start digging this as much as I do.

  20. Peel Slowly

    Released on March 12, 1967, panned by critics and a colossal failure sales-wise, The Velvet Underground and Nico has become one of the most influential and important rock albums in popular music history. By 2002, it ranked #13 on Rolling Stone's 500 greatest albums of all time. In 2006, it was added to the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. #TheVelvetUnderground #60srock #altrock #alternativerock #andywarhol #classicrock #johncale…

  23. El jueves 22 de enero, don #DekeDickerson de la Mancha, como le gusta autodenominarse cuando gira por estos lares, nos dio un glorioso y detallado tour por la música popular americana del S. XX, apoyado en ocasiones por locuciones pregrabadas traducidas al castellano por IA (sospecho).

    Entró de todo, desde el #blues y el #country al #rockabilly y #GarageRock. Y hubo incluso una ligera inmersión en el #ArtRock de #TheVelvetUnderground.
