The Velvet Underground And Nico - The Velvet Underground And Nico: Episode 169

Peel slowly and see what we have in store this week-- it's The Velvet Underground And Nico! What happens when experimentalists Lou Reed and John Cale join forces with eccentric pop artist Andy Warhol? Turns out they make one of the most influential and regarded cult classic records of the late '60s. Its raunchy, suggestive, and provocative lyrics kept them off the radio, but won over fans worldwide. We'll talk about their unusual origins and eventual disbanding. The Mixtaper reactivates our arachnophobia, bargains with art, and introduces us to a couple who can't seem to stick together. Run Run Run and check out this episode... we promise you'll still have time for All Tomorrow's parties! Happy Mixtober!!
