I’m FUCKING INSANE about all Lou Reed & all John Cale. I have, however, never been reeled in to Velvet Underground via their more popular stuff. What would Reed & Cale & V.U. fans recommend as an entry point for a strange ranger like me?
These are some songs by Lou Reed & John Cale that I love very much. Simply #wacky that I haven’t dug into V.U. yet. I’m remedying! open.spotify.com/playlist/0sXYG…
For fun, if you’re not familiar with Lou Reed, listen to the first track, “Andy’s Chest” & see if you can figure out who’s singing backup.
Just finished @ADeCurtis’s very good biography of Lou Reed. I’m rarely curious about the personal lives of artists I admire but I needed to know what the fuck led to a guy writing The Blue Mask. Now I have an inkling!
Have spent last 4 days listening to only Velvet Underground. I love then very much now. If you are like I was last week, here’s a playlist I’ve made that can help you love them. Please fight over it & get mad at me now if you’re a longtime fan! open.spotify.com/playlist/1P73b…

The on-line nihilism/defeatism I’m seeing goes EXTREMELY WELL with Trump’s stated aim to steal the election. Like if the GOP could write your tweets for you, they’d say “We’re doomed lol ” or do the cute little world-weary advance self-absolutions many of you are doing.
The media won’t help you. Fascist takeover is good for CNN’s ratings & Twitter/Facebook’s billionaire boards. I understand it’s scary to realize you have power. But you do. Voting is the tiniest thing you can do. Are you registered? iwillvote.com
Better than (& in addition to) that, can you volunteer as a poll worker? morethanavote.com. You’ll get PPE, training (& pay) to help w vital process usually done primarily by ppl over 60 who can’t/shouldn’t do it now due to coronavirus.

Need help understanding Cummings saga. Johnson keeping him on will lead directly to spike in deaths due to eroded confidence in govt & its lockdown guidelines. I know Tories don’t care about individual human lives but in this case 1/
turnaround from their (lack of) actions will be quite quick.
With deaths due to social care cuts & NHS privatisation, a Tory MP can say “Who me?” when a disabled kid in Hull chokes to death alone 8 months down the road due to his care package being cut. Not so w/ coronavirus. 2/
We know Johnson isn’t a good PM or person. His life’s goal was to have stationery that said “Prime Minister” on it; he doesn’t like to work as you & I understand work. But - he’s not stupid. So of what *use* is it having me, you, the Guardian, the Mail *and even Tory voters* 3/

By driving 267 miles & stopping at a minimum of 2 rest stops to do coronavirus diarrhea & sneeze on 7-10 service workers & 81 yr old man & young mum with asthma for good measure. Fuck you into the sun.
Just laughed imagining Johnson & Cummings meeting & deciding it’s probably best Cummings resigns but then Laura Kuenssberg smashes through the window & physically prevents them from pulling the trigger.
Would like to add that the level of punishment for involvement in this needs to *increase* the further you get from Johnson/Cummings. Being a piece of shit is bad. Defending them is vomitous. Gove, Laura K & Hancock deserving most scorn so far.

In 2010 I got Hepatitis A when there was a small outbreak in LA. As soon my dr determined I had Hep A, he called Dept of Health as legally required. Several ppl at my job got Hep A too. The LA County Dept of Health descended on all of us. 1/
A few ppl were hospitalized. I was quite ill but didn’t need to be hospitalized. MTV, on whose show we worked, was amazing; instantly transparent about everything & arranged for employees & families to get free immune globulin shots. 2/
LA County Dept of Health were the MVPs though. They interviewed us each multiple times, in person & over the phone. It reminded me of hypnosis as they asked Qs about what we’d eaten & when, in diff. ways. They’d help you recall what you’d eaten for lunch on a specific Tuesday 3/

This is among the best political videos I’ve ever seen. Look at him go! And it’s all so achievable. Let’s do it! ✊🏼❤️
People outside the UK should watch this too & get inspired. And follow @UKLabour @jeremycorbyn @LabGND & @LabourByTheMany to see what a brilliant, people-powered campaign looks like.
Such a boon for all the hardworking Labour campaigners too. And what a tonic for disillusioned voters who’ve been trained to expect nothing, to demand nothing. And if you’re parroting the “how do we pay for it?”, walk around Mayfair for a minute.
