When English singer/songwriter Nick Drake released his ambitious second album - 'Bryter Layter' - in 1971, he all-but-squashed any chance of commercial success by failing to promote it. Three years later the troubled artist was gone. This week's guest, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Paul Chastain (Velvet Crush, The Small Square), helps us unpack this evocative collection of songs featuring musical backing by members of Fairport Convention, The Beach Boys and John Cale among others. Essential listening.

Songs discussed in this episode: Tomorrow Is A Long Time (Bob Dylan Cover) - Nick Drake; Hold Me Up - Velvet Crush; Twenty-Third - The Small Square; Pet Sounds - The Beach Boys; Rosie - Fairport Convention; Holocaust - Big Star; Introduction, Hazey Jane II, From The Morning, At The Chime Of A City Clock - Nick Drake; Forever Instant - Lou Barlow (Sentridoh); One Of These Things First - Nick Drake; All I Want To Do - The Beach Boys; Pink Moon, Hazey Jane I - Nick Drake; Heartbeats-Jose Gonzalez; Bryter Layter, The Fly - Nick Drake; Stephanie Says - The Velvet Underground; Poor Boy - Nick Drake; Marianne - Leonard Cohen; Northern Sky, Sunday - Nick Drake; It'll Take A Long Time - Sandy Denny; Baby Face - The Small Square

This Light in the Attic podcast is a companion piece to Words and Music, May 1965, an album of previously unreleased songs recorded by a young Lou Reed with future Velvet Underground bandmate, John Cale. It includes first known recordings of such iconic songs as "I'm Waiting for the Man" and "Heroin." These recordings will be released to the public for the first time on Light in the Attic Records.
Our host, Tunde Adebimpe sits down with Matt Sullivan (co-owner and founder of Light in the Attic Records) and Lou Reed archivists Jason Stern and Don Fleming to get their insights into how the tape was discovered and how the songs were recorded by Cale and Reed in the spring of 1965.

Listen along with Matt, Don and Jason as they share their appreciation and knowledge of these extraordinary recordings. Produced by Light in the Attic, Ruinous Media and Dann Gallucci.

We deep dive into Todd Haynes’ Velvet Underground documentary (2021) on AppleTV. Haynes talks to the surviving members of the band and a lot of New York art world and the Warhol Factory scene about this legendary group that blended drone, multimedia, and doo-wop. The first-person accounts are great and you get steeped in the heady New York days of yore.

Our guest is music publicist and Velvets fan Daniel Gill, who runs Force Field PR. George makes an argument for the TCCU (Tony Conrad Cinematic Universe) and Daniel plays a very thorough Cast This Doc. No Jonathan Richman impressions were maimed.

Daniel Gill runs the PR and management firm Force Field out of the Highland Park neighborhood of Los Angeles.

Bulle - quelques pensées baladeuses autour de John Cale "Hanky Panky Nohow"

Texte : 

Aujourd’hui la chronique porte mal son nom puisqu’au travail tu ne pars pas, il s’agira donc d’un trajet, d’un voyage, immobile quelque part entre Paris, New york et le Pays de Galles. Tu as ressenti le besoin d’un début de journée harmonieux. Quoi de mieux pour répondre à cette demande que ce court morceau ? La mélodie installe en toi une vibration dont les harmoniques rejoignent celles des cordes qui la magnifient. En te laissant doucement bercer, aidé en cela par le timbre de la voix, tu sens émerger tout d’abord des couleurs ; un gris léger, un vert profond, quelques touches de rouge. Celles-ci prennent lentement la forme d’un paysage hybride, urbain d’abord, se fondant ensuite sans complètement disparaitre dans d’immenses prairies que parsèment des assemblées de fleurs dont le rouge sombre persiste en toi quand s’éteignent les dernières notes.  

Today's column is misnamed because you are not leaving for work, so it will be a journey, a trip, somewhere between Paris, New York and Wales. You felt the need for a harmonious start to the day. What better way to respond to this request than with this short piece? The melody sets up a vibration in you whose harmonics join those of the strings that magnify it. As you are gently lulled, helped by the timbre of the voice, you first feel colours emerging; a light grey, a deep green, a few touches of red. These slowly take the form of a hybrid landscape, urban at first, then merging without completely disappearing into immense meadows dotted with assemblies of flowers whose dark red lingers in you when the last notes fade.
