Has anyone seen Chelsea Girls? As a film it sounds like it makes a good poster.
The MP3 today is as far as I know unrelated to the movie except 1) it's Nico and 2)it has the same title and 3) it's probably on the soundtrack and...
I generally prefer the Mogadon haze of the mid-period Nico solo albums - The Marble Index, The End (yes, even that Doors cover)- because she seemed like she was pushing a little in her own odd directions on those albums while on the earlier ones she was just flapping around like a downmarket Rachel Stevens, playing on the European sultriness and blow-job credibility without actually achieving anything musically worthwhile.
I'll probably talk some more about Nico when I get over this latest bout of 24hr Hanta virus. Damn thing, just can't shake it...
UPDATE: Just been told that the above MP3 isn't Chelsea girls at all but a cover of Jackson Browne's 'These Days'... I didn't check it before posting so...
Ah fuck it, it's a nice song anyhows...
Hi,
ReplyDeletethis song is not Chelsea Girls, but her cover of These Days by Jackson Browne. Nevertheless, a lovely poetic song and a very nice cover by Nico :)

oops...didn't check...Sorry!!!
ReplyDeleteNot only that - but the image is from the 1984 Felt LP - The Splendour of Fear..
ReplyDeletehaha! after all these years, I didn't know that was a jackson browne cover! I guess it's not surprising since Nico and Browne had a relationship of sorts when he was pretty young... I think I saw that in NICO ICON?
