What Is Freedom: Joan As Police Woman
I am the dance floor. I am the mirrored face of the lake. I am the ragged end of the abandoned water pipe buried deep under the ocean where bacteria fuck and socialize. Water under water over water inside water outside water — aren’t we all right angles? Rubik’s ice cubes — that puzzle has 430 quadrillion combinations. I am one more than that number by the way. We are all one more than anything concrete I say. Could it be that I could whet my own desire to be less? Wouldn’t it be fun to be less?
Charli XCX Turned Herself Into a Gothic Bride for the Wuthering Heights London Premiere
The Wuthering Heights press run is giving us high fashion, passionate romance, and gothic tragedy all at once. And with her latest look, Charli XCX embodied it all. The “Everything Is Romantic” singer made quite the entrance at the film’s London premiere today while in a dramatic baby-pink wedding gown and veil from Erdem.
The Stranger’s Expert List of Christmas Song Alternatives
“364 Days” by Murder City Devils In what is quite possibly the most drunken and weepy Christmas song ever written, Murder City Devils vocalist Spencer Moody invites Santa Claus to sit down, pour a drink, and begin to let go of a long night, a long season, a long year.
Letterboxd — Your life in film
“Watch out, the world's behind you”* Andy Warhol and Paul Morrissey aimlessly mess around with a camera for an hour or so while The Velvet Underground and Nico improvise on their instruments, in what was apparently intended to be a background video to fill time while the band set up at live shows.

Bob Gruen: Un fisgón en el Olimpo del rock'n'roll
Resulta casi imposible quedarse con una sola de las miles de imágenes que Bob Gruen ha revelado a lo largo de su extensa carrera, un viaje a lo largo de la historia del rock'n'roll que el fotógrafo neoyorquino ha recorrido junto a Tina Turner, los Ramones, Lou Reed, John Lennon, Led Zeppelin, Madonna, Cher o los Rolling Stones, por nombrar algunos de los artistas inmortalizados por su cámara, ojo privilegiado del surgimiento del punk en el Nueva York de los años 70, cuyos retratos se han...

And Music By John Cale
Susan Sarandon is Helene Shaw is Stella Kowalski. Christopher Walken is Harry Nash is Cyrano, and Stanley Kowalski, and Romeo. The Colonel from Boogie Nights is George the Director. The actual director is Jonathan Demme. The program is a 1982 American Playhouse adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut's short story, Who Am I This Time?
John Cale - Mercy Music Album Reviews
On an often chilly album full of unexpected collaborations and smeared with apocalyptic terror, the 80-year-old art-rock legend grapples with the need for human connection. When an icon returns after a lengthy absence, it’s tempting to feel a kind of condescending compassion. My god, one might think, he’s still doing it at 80. And when he returns in the enviable company of bright young(er) things, it’s tempting to feel cynical: Look who’s trying to stay current. Spare all that for John Cale.

ルー・リード 1965年未発表デモ音源を収録〈LOU REED ARCHIVE SERIES〉第１弾 ―「Heroin」「I'm Waiting for the Man」などヴェルヴェット・アンダーグラウンド名曲の超初期音源も
ルー・リード 1965年５月11日未発表デモ音源を収録〈LOU REED ARCHIVE SERIES〉第１弾 故ルー・リードの生誕80年を祝して、イギリスのLIGHT IN THE ATTIC レーベルから〈LOU REED ARCHIVE SERIES〉の第１弾がリリースされる。本未発表曲コレクションは、リードの奥方でもあった前衛芸術家でヴァイオリニストのローリー・アンダーソンとの共同制作となる。 若き日のルー・リードが、後にバンドメンバーとなるジョン・ケイルの協力を得てテープに録音し、「貧者の著作権」として彼自身に郵送したもので、50年近く未開封のまま残っていたもの。20世紀のアメリカのポピュラー音楽の核ともいえるようなサウンドを多く収録しており、民謡の伝統に根ざしたこれらの曲を検証することで、パンクからアートロックまで、現代のアメリカ音楽の発展にリードの影響が続いていることが明らかになるような内容となっている。...

The Unlikely Success of Hallelujah
Within the realm of popular music, few songs have the staying power remain in our collective consciousness for more than a moment. There are protest songs like “A Change is Gonna Come” and arena anthems like “We Will Rock You”, but no song that has captured the cultural zeitgeist has a story behind it quite like “Hallelujah”. Hallelujah was originally written by Leonard Cohen in 1984 and has since been covered more than a hundred times over.
John Cale - “All Summer Long”
Last year, John Cale, formerly of the Velvet Underground, released his ornately titled solo album Shifty Adventures In Nookie Wood. One of the songs that didn’t make it onto the album was “All Summer Long,” which didn’t fit in and which was left in a half-finished state. But now Cale has gone ahead and finished the track, posting it online so that it wouldn’t die such a quiet death. It’s a widescreen piece of Bowie-esque art-pop. Below, listen to it and read some stuff Cale wrote about it.
The Velvet Underground – Sister Ray
About “Sister Ray” A preternaturally influential noise-rock jam that constituted most of side two of White Light/White Heat (the rest of it was taken up by another noisy rocker, “I Heard Her Call My Name”). Even though it may sound less brain-melting now that its feedback laden sound has become a part of the indie rock and punk mainframe, it still packs a punch. Supposedly, while recording the song, the band did it all in one take, leaving in all mistakes and inconsistencies.

The Velvet Underground's John Cale Plays Erik Satie's Vexations on I've Got a Secret (1963)
Few of us today, in search of unconventional artistry, would imagine mid-20th-century CBS game shows as a promising resource. But looking back, it turns out that American television of that era — a time and place when more people were exposed to the very same media than any before or since — managed to bring a surprising number of genuine creators before its mainstream-of-the-mainstream audience.
John Cale on revisiting your work
Do you get creative insight from revisiting older material? I get to reorganize. I get to rearrange. Which, on the road, is always a lifesaver. It keeps you alert. You don’t get bored with what you’re doing. For instance, Fragments of a Rainy Season was a series of 1992 performances that were recorded all over the world, but the main body of what set off to be a solo album, happened in Europe. We had a little Steinway piano that folded up and one of those pneumatic lifts… It was a neat operation.
Incubator for the Velvet Underground
When I moved into 56 Ludlow St. in early 1964, [Manhattan's] Lower East Side was a pretty bleak place. It was grimy times, and there wasn't much activity around here at night. The entire neighborhood was dark—except for the solitary bulb burning in the tea merchant's window on the ground floor. No matter how late I came home, the guy was always sitting in that window in the pale yellow light. It was eerie, but it fit the whole scene down...
Watch William S. Burroughs' Ah Pook is Here as an Animated Film, with Music By John Cale
The work of William S. Burroughs can be by turns hilarious, opaque and profane – filled with images of drugs, insects and other oddities. Though it might be fascinating, if difficult, on the page, his work really comes alive when read aloud, preferably in Burroughs’s signature deadpan drawl. And if it’s accompanied by some trippy visuals, then, all the better. The above video is exactly that.
