I first discovered the Velvet Underground when I was in graduate
school in 1978. Their classic album (with the Andy Warhol banana on the cover)
was eleven years old, even then. But I still sing the songs to myself, under my
breath, in 2013: they’re still fresh and interesting, especially “Sunday Morning”
and “Heroin” and “All Tomorrow’s Parties.”
And, naturally, “Femme Fatale.”
Nico (the
lead singer) was a model / actress / singer / heroin addict. She had a strong
deep voice and a strange accent, which made her interesting to listen to.
Enjoy.
