peel slowly

Please note: MP3s are only kept online for a short time, and if this entry is from more than a couple of weeks ago, the music probably won't be available to download any more.
Thanks to the magic of eBay, the VU Box-Set, Peel Slowly (or something like that), is on its way to me, for a slim $25 USD. Five CDs, including each of the Velvets' long-players and a motley crew of demos, out-takes, etc. Hooray.
Clinic's Walking With Thee was a massive disappointment. After the revelation Internal Wrangler was, Walking With Thee remains just as uninteresting as before. It lacks the variety of texture I.T. possesses, relying too much on garagey noise and sneers. Sad day.
The [Banquet of] Bees version of "A Minha Menina" is superior to the Os Mutantes original. But the thing that's killer on the Os Mutantes track is that bumblebee bass sound. Hoo boy. It makes me want to be a beetle, doing a scampery little dance on my bed.
