Comments / Notes
Well well well... would you look at all the Velvet Underground references we've been getting here. I think that's great considering I'm just as big a Velvets fan as I am of The Smiths. Another thing, that Velvet Undergrond book is called "Up-tight. The Story of The Velvet Underground" and it was also co-written by Gerard Malanga. I recommend it.

Actually, I got it from Bockris' book Transformer, but I'm sure it's used in there too.

As far as the Velvets go, I do know that Moz has mentioned Nico's 'Chelsea Girl' as a favorite record, and Nico as a favorite singer more than once. (Nico sang on the first VU album.)
One would assume that Moz was a Lou Reed fan as his peers (don't scream?) REM, Lloyd Cole, Echo, etc were, but he's never mentioned it, has he?
Anyway, "I could say more, but you get the general idea"

johnny mentions that the opening of "there is a light" is a nod to the velvets' "there she goes" and johnny's early bowl-haircut-wraparound-sunglasses look wasnt a million miles removed from sterling morrison's look...
but i dont think moz could pull of a version of the berlin album....its much too viscious for him to handle...can you imagine him handling the lines, "that miserable rotten slut couldn't turn anyone away"??
