Rumors of Dirt
Steve Albini reviews Mission of Burma, then interviews them. At the very end, Clint Conley tells him that the first band he ever saw was the Velvet Underground at a high school in Summit, New Jersey, in 1965, when he was, like, nine years old. Damn, that explains a lot. I remember reading about that gig somewhere in one of the dozen or so books about the Velvet Underground that Laura has.
(Incidentally, I don’t know how my brother missed linking to Roger Miller’s personal web site in his snarky post that obliquely replied to my post about how Burma wasn’t as obscure as they’re being made out to be now. Feh. That’s the thanks I get for introducing him to Burma in the first place. Ungrateful little bastard.)
