Comment:
Andy Warhol was on my mind after viewing the recent PBS program and then getting the DVD. We came back from a visit to the Warhol museum in Pittsbugh with some great books on him and a deeper understanding. This CD mix came out of me like some "Exploding Plastic Inevitable". Andy Warhol was everywhere in NY during that time and these songs are all somehow connected to him.The Factory, CBGB, The Velvets, The Dolls, Bowie, the Sticky Fingers cover, Nico, the entire New York scene. Warhol's influence was immense.
Of course this mix just uses Warhol as a touchstone to put together a collection of songs about him, the people around him and the NY scene in general.
The picture is from one of Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitible parties/shows.
Feedback:
Stellar, like Andy!
Excellent concept and execution.
Brilliant -- I see what you're after here, and it really looks like you nailed it.
beautiful! we just took the girl to the museum last month - always an awesome visit.
I once saw a Dali exhibit at the Warhol, the Sureal and the Surealer. This is phenomenal. Kick back on the Silver Pillow and take a ride.
MoTW.
This is absoltuely fantastic--I'm a huge fan of the museum and quite the fan of the artist himself. This is a great tribute.
awesome i gotta check alot of the songs on here...
Gotta admit Warhol's art does nothing for me, this mix on the other hand is quite superb.
What a fantastic mix! Perfect execution of a theme. Like the Marianne Faithfull inclusion a lot...and I looooooove Warhol, incidentally.
while i read the tracklisting to this mix (jaw on the floor, by the way), i was saying to myself "mix of the week right here" only to scroll down & see that it was already said. honestly, am i surprised though? no -- this is perfect.
Christ, this is good. I echo all the calls for MotW by the way. Let's see justice done!
---------
Edward Smith: Does that mean you don't have to think when you're painting?
Andy Warhol: No, you can listen to really good music.
Edward Smith: So, what, painting is an excuse to listen to really good music?
Andy Warhol: Oh, yeah.

I'm with Andy on this one: "Oh, yeah!"
Great art, great music, great mix. Fantastic.
Brilliant.
have been to a lot of 'tomorrow's parties' recently . . . and this is right there . . . . Femme Fatale (any version) is one of my faves ever (full stop).
This is Warhol mix is dandy!!!
This Warhol mix is dandy!!!
And let's don't forget The Electric Circus on St. Marks Place. Great set here, George.
Really great mix George.
A near perfect mix here George!
Outstanding George! Great tracklist all the way thru'...
Outstanding George! Great tracklist all the way thru'...
My first without a doubt speed read of a mix. It's all there, leave out the adjectives, cover to cover, this is necessary stuff.
Love this theme mix, and all things Warhol. Met him once 'round a table at Serendipity... surreal experience for a Nebraska boy.
Oh my, just beautiful. I want to come to your party. This is your happening, baby, and it freaks me out.
Great choices for an inspired theme. I liked that PBS show too.
Nicely created mix, George.
