The Velvet Underground

Fantastic news for all good music fans...... The Velvet Underground will not be reforming!

Contrary to what you might think reading this blog, we're not too enamoured with the prospect of any old reunion. I was twelve when Pavement sadly split, and quite frankly still in love with a disenchanted end of brit-pop (so i'll bang on about this one as much as possible). But with the the Velvets it's a diffferent story all together.

After the bands Lou Reed, Moe Tucker and Doug Yule took part in a Q&A in New York last December, rumours were rife of new dates possibly late this year.

However John Cale has been quick to quash any speculation when talking to BBC 6 music.
"It's not something that I can see happening on the basis of the past. Anyone who wants to reform The Velvet Underground for a series of concerts, to make some money, I understand that, but you can't do that."

And on his relationship with Lou Reed he added.
"I haven't spoken to Lou in a long time, but we're in touch because of business. There's no communal effort to enjoy each other's company any more."

Let's hope it's true and we don't have to enjoy some money grabbing at the expense of our favourite oldest records.

Keep it like this......
