The Velvet Underground – Rock And Roll Lyrics 23 years ago
This song is truth. Rock and roll is a religion to me; this is my Psalm 23.

Sneers and fist shaking. God bless you, Lou Reed.

The Velvet Underground – Sister Ray Lyrics 23 years ago
I thought it was "Doug" and Sally. If you listen to the version on, I believe, disc 1 of the Quine Tapes, Lou introduces it as a story about Doug, Sally, Cecil, and their friends.

I believe it's at the beginning of the second time through the lyrics that the music suddenly gets more spare, quick, and punchy. I think that reflects the situation getting a little more crazy, for lack of a better word.

Check out the versions on the Quine Tapes, though; they're magnificent.

Songs: Ohia – Just A Spark Lyrics 23 years ago
I've cried every time I've heard this song. The sad part is that Molina's saying (I think) that his love is "just a spark," since he's getting no reciprocation.

Fantastic song. I hope the predatory nature of women that Jason Molina's trying to communicate comes across.

Songs: Ohia – Captain Badass Lyrics 23 years ago
Did anyone see the Pitchfork review of _The Lioness_ where this was called "Makeout song of 1999?" I agree totally.

Les Savy Fav – Hide Me From Next February Lyrics 23 years ago
Seems pretty ridiculous that there's only one comment on a song as great as this. I saw the Favs last November, knowing nothing about them, but I've become a huge fan since. I hope they played this one while Tim Harrington's tongue was in my ear.
