Big Star's Third/Sister Lovers: The Fieled Sequence

 

Playing DJ

When Mary, Abby and I used to hang out at my flat in Logan Square, usually at night, in the early Aughts, I would play DJ for them. This, the third, eponymous Velvet Underground album, was their favorite. Abby especially, felt that the songs (like Some Kinda Love) articulated something that she, herself, couldn't articulate. And the resultant buzz we got was mellow and intense at the same time. 

Sigma Sound

Without too much rhyme or reason, and by an entertainment attorney whose name I will not mention (his first name wasn't Tony), in late '97 on a semester break, I was given a tour of the inside of Sigma Sound, in Chinatown, Center City Philly. I saw the studio where Bowie recorded Young Americans, and then sat with some staffers in one of the all-purpose rooms and listened to what I'd recorded in Manayunk a month before. Interesting to remember, and try to figure out what I was doing in there. Hmmmm.
