Your Pop Art impresarios of pretty awesome facts are back to examine a groundbreaking album that lobbed a grimy East Coast grenade into the Summer of Love. In addition to droning on about drones and other avant-garde musicians of the period, Jordan and Alex offer the behind-the-scenes drama of band patron Andy Warhol’s Factory scene, a partial history of electro-shock therapy, and the Velvet’s hilarious blood feud with Frank Zappa. The boys debate the merits of Lou Reed’s lyrical talents by contrasting “Heroin” and “Venus in Furs” with his later-era track “Possum Day.” Get ready for a wild ride deep into the dark, druggy world of urban decay, BDSM and…bananas.
