A History of Rock Music in 500 songs: Episode 164 White Lite/ White Heat
June 05, 2023 05:50PM
Episode 164 White Light White Heat by The Velvet Underground

This is a pretty solid 3 hr and 20 minute look at the VU. The narrator is excellent and it is told like a Ken Burns doc. I put off checking out this pod but I am impressed. I am not sure if anything new is said, I seem to remember most of it. The presentation is top notch.

And if you contribute to his Patreon, the latest Patreon bonus episode is on the Bonzo Dog Band.

Damnit, I just got sucked into listening to another podcast I don't have time for. And he is already over 160 episodes in. I'll never catch up.

I made the mistake of listening to his podcast on The Move's "Flower's in the Rain" and Small Faces "Itchycoo Park" after recommendations on the Steve Hoffman forums. I thought I was a big fan of these two bands but I was really impressed with this guy's research and things I didn't know about their formation.

So yeah, I have started at the beginning with Song 1 (Benny Goodman's "Flying Home") and am working my way through. I should make it to the Velvet Underground sometime next year...
