DUDE, STICK TO SOUP CANS

An hour of the Velvets filmed by Warhol sounds enticing doesn't it? That's what I thought.  Most of you total Velvet Underground fiends have probably already seen this one, and if you're not one of them, it might be boring as hell.  If you walk away from this learning anything, you'll know that Andy Warhol is one hack cameraman. It's as if he just discovered the zoom lens on his camera. In his defense, it was intended as a backdrop film for their live shows, so that might explain the two bit camera work. Regardless, it's worth a glance for historical purposes, or an hour viewing if you've got a high threshold. If you're looking for some listenable Velvet's stuff, check the older Velvets posts here (scroll down).
