Listen to the Raven yesterday (double cd) It is a very demanding record, it has a lot of beautiful songs on it. But I need to listen a bit more to it before I...
Hi, As I'm listening to 2cd version of Lou's last masterpiece questin again arrives: Should we buy 1cd version too? Or just compile it from the "big" set? Are...
I agree about Guilty! I loved it at first listen. :) I guess all the songs from the one CD version are found on the 2CD album, aren't they? I bought my album...
I've been told that there are different versions of Who Am I? on each set. I have the 1cd promo at present - the UK release was delayed - on the 1cd Who Am I,...
on the 1cd you will not find FireMusic and the WHOAMI is different, on the 1cd whoami is more rough more guitar, you'll end up buying all three, fred ... From:...
For what its worth it took me at least four times through before I could hear the readings as pleasurable. Before they sounded anything but alien to me....
I have problems to understand everything, especially in spoken word tracks, too. So is there somewhere text version? Listening to it again and again will help...
And what do you think of the artwork inside "The Raven"? What is this sword thin all about? And why this coat and slippers? Is it supposed to mean anything?...
Hi Bettina, I found another copy of the article with this nice picture of Lou! in fact I found 2 anyone in the Club wants the original article? mail to...
Instead of respectable elderly stateman Lou I think he's now become "weird Lou". :) L ... theunofficialloureedclub2@yahoogroups.com, "Marta Liz M. ... this...
DeRogatis wrote that Lester Bangs bio. I'm liking him more and more. He's approachable too. If you e mail him about something he'll e mail you back. ...
Oh, he's always been weird, hasn't he? But on the other hand, with this album, it looks like he wanted to get on our (his fans') nerves a bit with all that...
... Not really. I thought there was an enforced normalcy that hung over the 1982-1996 period. Its only on the last two records that he's letting the weirdness...
... You're trying too hard. Don't intellectualize it. I've only been able to listen to it on an airplane so far, so there was a lot of background noise, but...
Yeah, you know what? Once when I was little and a huge Beatles fan, I could not relate to their late stuff (1967-69) at all. It just didn't strike the right...
The Raven, The spoken tracks, I'm not to found of them either, I like to listen to them once in a while. But not as often as I would play an other Lou Reed...
It's going to take a while to get to the bottom of this record. There is so much there, I'm restricting myself to the songs, for now. The spoken word parts are...
Now that Peronimo has publically announced that I was writing this :- ) I guess I better put my money where my mouth is. I've written something that is... I...
excellent work! i for one like the spoken tracks on the raven better than the songs. call me crazy,wouldn't be the first time. i like the songs too , but i was...
Excellent essay, Bjorn. I'm not nearly as far along as you in figuring out this new Lou Reed album. So far I hear a wonderful movie when I play it. And I...
Just wanted to add my own kudos to your efforts on the essay. Very provacative, and well-stated. One point of semantics is that I don't think Reed breaks...
Thanks! Well, it helps that I've had it since before Christmas... I've been a resident of RavenLand so long it starts popping up everywhere. In books I read,...
So, did anyone find Lou's live session on AOL? The official homepage said it would be there on the 4th, but I searched everywhere for it then and today. Still...
