Playlist 8 July
Some records by fans in tonight's show. Jonathan Richman is said to have been the Velvet Underground's biggest fan in Boston. Doesn't sound much, but when you consider that no one actually bought any VU records ever ....... Young JR moved to New York and , according to what I read , 'hung round' with Lou, Sterling, and Mo.
I think it was 1969 so John Cale OBE had long gone. You have to wonder what 'hung round' meant. Did Jonathan talk about the first LP all the time? Was he a cool fan who didn't go on too much about the band's music? Or whenever he came into the room, did several members of the Velvet Underground find that, in that very instant, they had a really important thing that they had to buy in the store and , 'yes, sit down, Jonathan, I'll be back in five minutes.?Ìý Probably not.
Both fan and object of devotion feature, as do Penetration, whose singer Pauline Murray regularly made long trips to see the early Sex Pistols. If I was her, I'd be bringing that fact into every conversation I could.
Talking Heads - Pulled Up
Joy Division - These Days
Dickies - Waterslide
That Petrol Emotion - Belly Bugs
Slits - Heard It Through The Grapevine
Outcasts - Self Conscious Over You
Modern Lovers - She Cracked

Johnny Thunders - You Can't Put Your Arms Around A Memory
