Blood Stained Cuffs humbly presents... Thank You! And Good Night! (All Love To The V.U!) Ben Nigunim 2013-11-01 | Blood Stained Cuffs humbly presents...Thank You! And Good Night!(All Love To The V.U! -)Oh Thank You! Thank you for coming out tonight!It's been so nice to see you!It's been nice to see the living,it's been nice to see the dead,it's been nice to hear the laughter,it's been nice to hear the voices in my head...Oh ho! Thank you! Thank You!I might say only for the mangled bodies piled in front of me!I might say only lit for them!But my fingers and stringsthey bleed together on this piled heap,when my guitar,it bleeds for you,you know that nothin' ever endsnothin' ever endsnothin' ever ends...Oh ho! Thank You! And Good Night! Good Night!and Thank You For All The Sweetness Lou. John, you're the best. Wow, that is crappy quality footage. You can't make out much, but that is Franz Kafka's gravestone at 1 minute or so. I don't own any rights to the pics of the Velvets, Nico, Lou and Laurie, Warhol + Factory folk nor the Whitman quote at the end, but hit me up if you need one of your photos removed. I'll tell you a couple true stories though. You don't have to believe me, but whatever. I have a friend that is related to to Lou Reed. She never met him before he passed, probably wouldn't have, but they're distant cousins, third or something. Anyways, her aunt saw Lou Reed once in NYC and walked over and tried to introduce herself saying hi and we're related through so and so. Lou turned to look at her, tipped down his sunglasses to show his eyes and said "nice try honey", then turned away and ignored her. Classic Lou?I did get to meet John Cale once, well, shake his hand and lie to him. I'd finagled my way backstage at a show with him and The Tiger Lillies by pretending to be Edward Gorey asking to see Martyn Jaques. I should have kept my mouth shut after being led right to him, but effed that up and as I was leaving, John had finished his set and was walking back to the area where I was. I shook his hand and told him he played a good set. I should have just said you win some, you lose some, but shoot, I messed up again. His set was bad. His voice was shot. I walked out. I love the guy and love a lot of his work, but that wasn't a very good set. I really do love the dude though.From working, experimenting and playing with folks like La Monte Young, Tony Conrad and Angus Maclise to producing incredible Patti Smith, The Modern Lovers and Nico albums to name a few, to working with Eno. Whoa. That's a real nice cup of tea... What an incredible guy.This track was poorly recorded in the middle of the night, drunk and alone in Santee, Ca., sometime in 2004 or 2005 (i think) using multiple noise makrs and plukrs. This track and a few others free here... bloodstainedcuffs.bandcamp.comTo All Things Good.Blood Stained Cuffs~2013
