That’s actually a fairly old song of his, from his ‘72 album "Transformer" … perhaps it’s a remix?

It was "I Love You, Suzanne". As Linny would say, "pants!". Bud

I’m sorry if this offends those of you who remember the seminal influence of The Velvet Underground on the music scene, but I think Lou Reed is ‘taking the piss’ with his new single "satellite of love" – a "perfect day" or "walk on the wild side" it certainly isn’t. I think the phrase "money for old rope" could sum it up. This single that’s currently being given airplay in the UK is – in my opinion – quite dire, and I’m sure fans of Mr Reed (if they’re being honest) would expect a lot more from him. In fact, I feel sure that if any young and upcoming act were to approach any record company A&R dept with this record which is basically a bunch of 4 bar loops (brass, some kind of synth sound, the title of the record repeated) and maybe half a dozen lines of lyric for the verse(s), they’d be escorted out of the office to the sound of laughter. Sorry, needed to get that off my chest

How’s it compare to Metal Machine Music? …or maybe that is considered ‘good’ now? I liked some later stuff like New Sensations…but IIRC, MMM was pretty awful.

It was "I Love You, Suzanne". As Linny would say, "pants!". Bud
