Okay, thanks. That's very interesting. I like VU a lot but I had never thought of them that way.

I like VU a lot but
Me too; when I was studying art A level, I often spent up to 10 hours at a stretch in the art department over the weekend making silk-screen prints... we had just a battered old record deck with autochanger, and in some strange postmodernist creed of yuff angst, we used to put the Velvets on and just let it repeat all day! The almost hypnotic effect is still woven deep into my brain, such that my fingers start twitching to wield a palette knife whenever I hear one of the so-familiar tracks...

I begin to understand just why you have sequestered yourself in deepest, darkest Wales. It was that or Broadmoor, wasn't it?

Broadmoor
Are you helping out with the new OED, mav? Conforting to see history repeat itself, somehow.

It's only my strength that keeps me out of prison - that, and I like hanging around in bars anyway :)

It's this 'knowing' kind of incorporation of the traditional pattern of arts over a base material that takes new elements and dissonances entirely for granted that for me characterises quite a lot of music that can be classified post-modern.It does seem to be quite natural for (artists ) expression to manifest ones *individual influences... ---------- I believe it was Samuel Clemens who said... "Wagner's music is much more beautiful than it sounds". ...errrr... someone said something like that...

Your tongue or your finger, Connie? [cheesy grin] (or am I confused again?)
