En concreto se trata del tema "Pale Blue Eyes" , que data nada más y nada menos que de 1969. Suena así: [...]

Pocas bandas pueden sacar un cover a " Pale Blue Eyes " de The Velvet Underground y hacerlo bien. The Kills es una de esas bandas. Como uno de los lados B en su grandioso sencillo " The Last Goodbye ", Alison y Jamie le dan un tono blues muy agradable al clásico de Velvet. Díganme qué les parece.

Hidden Shoal Recordings is excited to announce the release of the new freely downloadable single 'Sea Years' by garage-dreampop trio The Caseworker , taken from their acclaimed 2011 album Letters From The Coast . 'Sea Years' is the follow-up to first single 'National Runner', showcasing another side to the band's trademark guitar surge. The song's insistent motorik beat, levitating guitar jangle and Eimer Devlin's gorgeous airy vocals create a very special blend of dreamy, hypnotic pop minimalism. Light as a feather yet crammed full of gutsy guitar sounds, 'Sea Years' is another earworm from [...]

Later on, Masurka got drawn back into [...]

Joe writes: The BBC make such great trailers advertising themselves, especially when they draw on the songwriting of Lou Reed. The current trailer for BBC Radio features a man moved to tears firstly by The Velvet Underground's Pale Blue Eyes, and then by a football commentary as Blackpool gain promotion to the Premier League. For the original underground band, The Velvet Underground sure had some great tunes.
Had we been around for the time of Warhol's Factory, I could easily see LA natives Mini Mansions, trading slots with The VU. It's a tough task to seamlessly merge psychedelia with dance-pop, but Mini Mansions do just that. In fact, take one listen to "Monk" and imagine girls with bobs and mini-dresses, sipping martini's and getting down with the underground art crowd that Andy attracted. "Monk" starts with a walk down piano progression accompanied by a melody that, although catchy, makes you a bit uneasy. You can tell there is a sweet pop-core, but coated in a layer of basement [...]
