"...midsummer is upon us, with its grim, sweltering mandate."

"When they performed their choreography to T-Rex’s “20th Century Boy,” I almost had a panic attack from the sheer serotonin rush."

I never thought in all my days I would read a track by track piece on Paris 1919. I’ve always felt as if I’m the only person even aware of it, never mind in awe of its strange, beautiful, melancholy magnificence. Never mind the Velvets: That Cale did this, and also produced the Stooges first album, makes him a legend.
