Transformer Specifications
This sophomore release by the Velvet Underground cofounder has long been hailed as one of the key touchstones of the punk and alternative eras that followed it. Reinforcing the literary adage to "write what you know," Reed paints an alternately detached/debauched portrait of the drag-and-drugs-infused underground of Warhol's New York, a place, time, and mindset so compelling it has largely overshadowed the rest of the singer-songwriter's mercurial career. That the album would also give Reed an unlikely Top 20 pop hit via the teasing, twisted sexuality of "Walk on the Wild Side" is but one of its deep, rewarding ironies. Indeed, as produced by David Bowie and guitarist and cohort Mick Ronson at the height of their own Ziggy Stardust fame, Reed's songs are cast in a seductive cabaret setting that's more Jacques Brel than Lower East Side. This 30th-anniversary edition features two unreleased acoustic demos ("Hangin' 'Round," "Perfect Day"), a vintage radio spot by announcer and word-jazz cult fave Ken Nordine, and a new illustrated booklet and perceptive essay by Michael Hill. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews
Lester Bangs and Cameron Crowe makes natch, they discuss, what else, Lou Reed.
"Goodnight Ladies" (only 2, maybe Yoko's "We're All Water" as a song of the decade '() 70) Tom Waits invented in New York minutes, so there. Transdressers, alcoholics, jus good cokewhores 'people. Sandy, my best friend ever. But it's May 12th, and I remember my 1st marriage, 29 years ago, too bad my husband died in a motorway fireball 5 years ago. What else? Good . Lou Reed was my Carpenters "B-side to again during the day, as she did. N. old ladies who never grow old ladies, just ask Blanche DuBois. From the way my TV dinner is almost ready.
In the meantime, I'm almost 10 at the time (1970) are and are at the heart of St. Louis Crestwood with my parents. There's a store called "size 6". What is the "size 6," I ask. My father says, "is the cute, young girls dress size. And I think, "Wow, how nice. This is what I want." Careful, however, Neverless. So you see, was size 6 (my size, babe) has always been myHeart, a magic number that is why the diet so without fear. From the way my TV dinner is almost ready. I was reminded of this issue for decades, it took decades to get it. I deserved it.
12. Power. Sorry, Carrie, it was. The house honeymoon approach, an abandoned farm in the forest, where we all have high, for a brilliant metaphor, cobwebs and rusty cans, pure funk, cut in a classic Stones hits, hitchhiking foolish, fearless we have "it" to outside NY HojoBefore the police arrived and we drove away, poor skanky coffee and pancakes. And she turned tricks. Of course, every time I asked why she wanted to do. Processor. I bet you knew all the time.
