[quote name='Mojimbo']Alright, we need to get a group together then.
You have a link for making a foreign PSN account, dallow?

Also, how is White Light/White Heat compared to the TVU&N(my only frame of reference)? Best Buy had it for $4.99 along with a couple other of their albums yesterday and it had me curious.[/QUOTE]
Dallow will probably hate me for saying this, but I've never really liked the majority of
White Light/White Heat. It's undeniably highly influential, but its influence FAR outstrips its individual merits. The albums it has influenced are much better. The main problem is that, in my mind, the Velvet Underground were never very good at "rocking". The just lack the energy, and it instead comes off as a dull, mid-tempo boogie. I very rarely NEVER listen to that particular record.
Definitely pick up the self-titled third Velvet Underground record and
Loaded, as well as some of the great records
White Light inspired, like Dream Syndicate's
Days of Wine and Roses and (especially) The Jesus and Mary Chain's
Psychocandy.
Also, do you have the entire
Velvet Goldmine soundtrack that those Venus in Furs songs are from? The rest of the album is just as good, if not better than the ones you listed.
