Comments on: Two Lou Reed Albums That Seal My Uncoolness. http://www.nonalignmentpact.com/2008/02/two-lou-reed-albums-that-seal-my.html Music in Seven Days from Seven Writers Wed, 10 Mar 2010 21:15:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Charlie Naked http://www.nonalignmentpact.com/2008/02/two-lou-reed-albums-that-seal-my.html/comment-page-1#comment-7213 Charlie Naked Mon, 18 Feb 2008 19:44:00 +0000 http://www.preddys.com/NAP/?p=551#comment-7213 By the way, apropos of absolutely nothing, this is the funniest music-related text from a Wikipedia entry that I've ever seen:<br/><br/>"On January 31, 2007 Edward Butcher flew back to his home town in the UK. In a statement released later by the band it was announced that he didn't like the type of music that the band was playing and has been quoted as saying "I can't stand our current sound, broseph", and that he was to be no longer a part of the group. Ed has since joined UK metal band, Eternal Lord. He has since gone on to amass 632 Fabrege Eggs."

I guess for me, that one's a case of bad timing. When I first heard it, I was pretty solely into free jazz and the more mainstream "classics" guys like Monk, Mingus, and pre-fusion Miles. Then, later, I got into Dark Magus and Pangaea, and I was able to backtrack from there into getting into Bitches Brew, while still thinking that it just wasn't as good as what came after it. So basically I refused to like it when it was the only 70s Miles fusion I'd ever heard, and then when I got into that stuff, it was just the least of those albums to me. But it's alright, and Big Time is too. I just think in general (with exceptions, like On the Corner) Miles's fusion works better in a live context.

I would imagine Pandora's not going to differentiate between his good 70s fusion and his utterly awful 80s fusion.

I'm gonna take your word on that. In fact I was looking for something to listen to today and so I'm gonna set up a Miles Davis fusion Pandora station. Thanks.<br/><br/>Oh and you better be right dammit.<br/><br/>Still, curse MD for starting a sucky genre. Okay Charlie. I’m gonna take your word on that.

Oh and you better be right dammit.

Still, curse MD for starting a sucky genre.

Dark Magus, Live at the Fillmore, Pangaea... these albums are incredible.

And I don't believe there's any fretless on there. But if we ever do the overrated music podcast, BB is my submission.
