White Light/White Heat
The Velvet Underground is very deep and dark
True story: the engineer left the room during the recording. He did not want to hear it being laid down. 'Call me when you are finished,' he told them.
True story: I listened to this one for 'The Gift', 'Sister Ray' and the title track for years.
Call it perfect.

From a chance encounter and memory... I knew the name; some doubts about their sound and choices. From a listening centre (remember Tower Records?).... Hypnotized by Spider Bites, Bleeding Heads, Waiting for a Superbeing and Disintegrations...

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

I know of them, never really listened, but gosh you sure enjoyed yourself from the words of this critique. Good for you.
I really like how you're so creative with this challenge! I loved this!
I love a lot of their music, especially the tracks with Nico. I’m not the most familiar with this album. Cool that you wrote about them.
Cool.
