"It's Dirty, It's Filthy, It's Paradise!"


After long last, here is the July playlist. Partly inspired by the film Adventureland (a coming of age film where Kirsten Stewart falls in love with Jesse Einsberg to a Lou Reed song at a theme park), the epic doc Dogtown and Z Boys, California, the films The Runaways, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Dazed and Confused and legit summer vibes, this playlist should be enjoyed while drinking some SoCo and soaking perpetually in the sun. I wish I could live inside this playlist and smoke a giant joint while listening to "Sweet Leaf" under the huge western sky.

2)Don't Wanna Know if Your Lonely- Husker Du
3)Pale Blue Eyes- Velvet Underground
4)Don't Dream It's Over- Velvet Underground

Iconic Clash

Bonding over Bowie has reached a whole new level.
Here is a convo. of a Bowie vs. Reed discussion with another blogger:

Pigs and Plans: Lou Reed or David Bowie?

Pigs and Plans: Damn I got all Bowie responses. I take Lou Reed for sure.
He's such a fucking badass. So NYC

Thyme Warp: @PigsAndPlans Bowie is iconic. Reed is more underground.

Pigs and Plans: @ThymeWarp Loud Reed is still an icon. Velvet Underground, Andy Warhol, Punk...he was a big part of the whole scene

Thyme Warp: @PigsAndPlans When I say Bowie, people say "Yes!" When I say Lou Reed, people say "who?"

Pigs and Plans: @ThymeWarp haha ok fine fine Bowies got the name recognition.

Thyme Warp: @PigsAndPlans And yes I agree Reed is an icon but not as well known as Bowie. Not as iconic, if that can be measured.

These Days.

Day 9:
The Velvet Underground
The Factory's house band.
Fabulous Lou Reed.
In 1967, the album The Velvet Underground and Nico was released
with Andy's famous peel-off banana on the cover.
I'm not a fan off Nico.
She appeared cold and robot, kind like an animal with a void behind her eyes.
Although her solo track "These Days" is excellent.
Check out the songs:
"Stephanie Says", "Venus in Furs" and "White light/white heat"
