I’ll try to include some Klezmer as the SOTD pick one of these days.

I kinda like the Hasidic Hardcore. And I have actually seen Matisyahu. But for today’s SOTD, I’m going to focus on another famous Jewish-American singer and songwriter, Lou Reed. Once I settled on Lou Reed, I knew I was going to choose something from Transformer, and was originally going with Andy’s Chest — a reference to the scar on Andy Warhol’s chest after he was shot by Valerie Solanas, the radical feminist behind the SCUM Manifesto. It is a great song, but I have to go with Satellite of Love. There are many things I love about this song—the finger snaps and crescendoing horns in the vamp, the weird little recorder solo, the fact that there’s a tuba. But it’s the backing vocals that really do it for me. First, there’s the Thunder Thighs, the back up singers who did the “Do Do Do” part of “Walk on the Wild Side.” And then there’s David Bowie! And he kills it. The falsetto on the descending arpeggios — “Bom bom bom.” The soaring high notes at the end. Good stuff.

Are the Beatles or the Stones the best? Is Zeppelin in that pantheon? I don't know. That's all subjective. But I think I know who was most important... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWq7a8Tin8g

That movie is fantastic. It does the band as I think the band would've done the band.

And apropos, sadly... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgrSVSHTwHg

“Most important” is also subjective. But I tend to agree. There was a period where I felt like I heard VU influences in literally every single band that came after them. Maybe not literally. But maybe literally. Every. Single. Band. I liked that movie too.

Everyone dismisses the impact the Plasmatics had....
