I don't think noise and bad musicianship are so tightly linked like your comment seems to say. Big Black made that very clear, and we've only seen more well played noise since then. I think the first velvet record was an incredible visionary piece of art, I also think it would be better if the entire underground was as talented as Cale clearly is on the record. Nico especially is incredibly off putting.

> I think noise and bad musicianship are so tightly linked like your comment seems to say. I don't think I was intending to say that - or if I did it was meant to be echoing back what you were implying except with big scare quotes around it. Nico was quite charming on the first Velvets album and her Desert Shore is close to a masterpiece.
