Sunday Morning

It's monday morning, actually, but because "Sunday Morning" is such a good song...
It's by the Velvet Underground, a New York band sponsored by Andy Warhol in the late sixties. It was composed of Lou Reed, a singer, John Cale, a violist, Sterling Morrison, guitar, and Mo Tucker, drums. When Warhol decided that Lou was a terrible frontman and Sterling just stood there looking awkward and tall, he brought in Nico, a German ex-model to sing for the band. Truth be told I don't much care for her voice, so the compilation I have is a mix of songs from the first album, The Velvet Underground and Nico (Peel Slowly and See), and the third, The Velvet Underground. It's a pretty good mix.
Jasper's List of VU Classics:
Heroin
Venus in Furs
Sunday Morning
There She Goes Again
What Goes On
Anyway, they are an awesome band so enjoy!
Cheers, Jasper
