Christmas Day Long Song

Happy Christmas! Hope you're all having a lovely Christmas Day- or at least a better one than Lou Reed and John Cale were having. 

If not, don't worry. It'll all be over soon. 

Oh! Sweet Nuthin'

The Velvet Underground closing Loaded in 1970 with the cooled down, chilled out sounds of Oh! Sweet Nuthin', a seven minute tale of Jimmy Brown, Ginger Brown, Pearly May and the girl who ain't got nothing at all, Doug Yule taking lead vocals. Maybe that's why Lou was so pissed off at Christmas.

  1. There's probably a dated joke or apocryphal tale about Lou and John being pissed off at finding a Yule log under the Christmas tree but I ain't going there.

    What a tune though, thanks Adam!
