Bike Snob fail!

"Venus in Furs" by the Velvet Underground isn't exactly the sort of music you'd expect to accompany aggressive urban fixed-gear riding,

Oh dear.

And why not:

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Clubs and bells, your servant, dont forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please dont forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

I think his qualms about it are less to do with the lyrics than they are with the rhythm...

thanks

Severin, BTW. Upper case for a proper name.

I did notice that but quickly cut and pasted. I will correct. Glad to see that pedantry is alive among masocists ;o)

'Ultimately, I'm sure we'll see a feature-length, mainstream film. It will probably be just like "Quicksilver," except none of the characters will be messengers.'

one of the most consistently entertaining and funny blogs, love it.

I remember when Jeff used to play this of the bronze lacquer, it was just known as the brown record by my flatmates at university (we were detroit techno obsessives) though if you are climbing hills at 130-135 rpm thats pretty good going.

depends how much meth you've snorted ;)

i've always been more of a dave clarke and richie hawtin fan, but jeff mills does have a special place in my heart.

Bikesnob is (as usual) correct.

tapes of mills as the wizard in the mid eighties are amazing

though dave and jeff can be a little too messy

derrick may on a good night is amazing
