tuxedo moon: nothing short of brilliance

‘tv party’ was a punk cable show hosted by andy warhol’s associate glenn o’brien as well as chris stein (blondie’s guitarist). here we have blain (violin) and steven (keyboard) peter (bass). you can get the series on dvd or on netflix, just search for TV party and then sit and wonder what happened to our music where we’re left with so much shit that some of us actually think lady gaga is not that bad. by dd

13 Most Beautiful… Songs for Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests

i love to watch the clips of screen tests andy shot between 1964 and 1966 in his silvery factory. people are fascinating, especially when they’re trying to do nothing.

13 most beautiful…songs for andy warhol’s screen tests features 13 of warhol’s classic silent film portraits. subjects include nico, lou reed, edie sedgwick, dennis hopper, etc. and are presented with newly commissioned soundtracks performed by dean wareham and britta phillips who i don’t know of, but sound yummy. by kl
