(TV) whilelight/whiteheat, cale solo, herecomethewarmjets & modulationeffects

["sam matthews" <fangsdaddy@hotmail.com>]

per usual, going thru a couple of back digests.
my fave part of "white light/white heat" is listening to "the gift" w/cales 
spoken word track rolled off. as the stereo seperation has the instrumental 
track coming out of one speaker & cale in the other it's easy to do. it's 
just great to listen to the velvets wail.
cale solo: i'm partial to the fear/slow dazzle era, with the 
mercinaries/ready for war material second. one of the great things i saw 
last year was mike watt cover cale's "fear is a man's best friend". that 
made my heart beat a little faster, even tho he did two great television 
tunes the same night. another reaon i really like cale's fea/slow dazzle 
period: chris spedding. has anyone seen the roxy music reunion tour? i was 
wondering how much spedding was playing or if he's just second fiddle to 
manzanara?
i'm old too, because i've been listening to here come the warm jets since 
1974. it's by far my favorite eno disc. it rocks the most. & it's also 
contains my favorite playing by fripp. his solo on baby's on fire continues 
to amaze me. years ago in creem, lester bangs did this piece where he 
claimed a govermental agency was doing research on the hearing thresholds of 
rats by playing them the following guitar solos:
fripp/baby's on fire
krichards/sympathy for the devil
james willianson/shake appeal
& he claimed fripp deafened the most rats. also, there's this really great 
bootleg of eno & the winkies playing some of the warm jets stuff from the 
bbc in '74 & it's really fun to hear these tunes minus the studio tweeking.
when i was a pedal surfer, my fave guitar modualation toy was an ada 
flanger. it had four knobs---one more than any other flanger at the time, 
was real quiet, ran off ac & has a stereo out, so you could skip your 
guitar, go out the stereo out, run all your pedals thru it, then plug it 
into your amp w/the other output. it was kind of like a crude synth.
