I saw Luna open up for Lou Reed in 1996, and being a venue with bad sound, I couldn't make out the lyrics, only the chord progressions, which turned them back into the VU songs they were influenced by.

Lawrence of Felt:

Lou Reed, I suppose, is my biggest hero. A New York photographer who used to follow us around and do a lot of work with us sent me a letter once. It was signed by Lou Reed. She pretended that he'd written me a fan letter. I used to take it around London and show it to everyone and say, "Look, Lou's written me a letter." I genuinely believed that she'd met him and asked him to write me a letter. And it wasnt for, well, maybe six months or so that she came back to England and she told me that she'd written it, it was a joke and, y'know, how the hell did I think it was written by him? It was obviously written by her but I genuinely thought Lou'd written me a letter. I was so proud of it but, y'know, it was a hoax.

"Rico & Carl" by Sammy is my fave VU inspired song from the 90s

Wow, I was just about to mention Sammy. Nice!

I get the feeling that guy in Yo La Tengo who can't sing fancies himself to be a bit Lou Reed.

I don't remember when I learned "satellite of love!" is what the hell they're saying after "Rocket! Yeah!", but it is

the bizarros and the feelies are my two favorite lou bands.

― scott seward, Thursday, 31 October 2013 02:42 (eleven years ago)

well, and felt too, come to think of it. though felt didn't always remind me of lou. though it was obviously there. bizarros and feelies never let me forget it.

Galaxie 500.

― Josh in Chicago, Thursday, 31 October 2013 03:05 (eleven years ago)

What I like about the VU is that there seems to be varying strains of bands inspired by specific albums. Lots of bands inspired by "White Light/White Heat," but there's a whole other strain of band inspired by self-titled.
