heroin(e)
how i love her 'chelsea girls' album - it's near perfect. it also reminds me of living in london, being obsessed with warhol and the factory, and getting wasted with friends, then spraying things silver and dressing up to make mini movies- all of us wearing black turtle necks. we videod everything - and i mean everything!
happy days!

grey, fucked and fabulous
just caught this on tv last night - a documentary from 1980 about the infamous chelsea hotel featuring nico singing chelsea girls in the actual hotel! amazing.
the documentary also features the brilliant viva superstar and her daughter watching a film of when she was born!!! unfortunately that's not on youtube :(

if you don't already have it- i'd highly recommend buying 'chelsea girls' - it's a doll essential.

a dark track from 1973- it sounds so amazing due to the collaboration with john cale (again) and brian eno.

nico weeko - thursday

this is as upbeat as nico gets! her first single is reminiscent of marianne (due to the involvement of andrew loog oldham with both of these dolls.)

this song taken from her 1970 album ' desertshore' is beautiful...it makes me smile and want to slit my wrists at the same time- this is something only nico can do to me!

gainsbourg girls - tuesday

hurrah! i have another reason to post this superstar. this is the first song she ever recorded (in 63) but it didn't surface until 2001! worth the wait though.
Labels: 60s, nico, serge gainsbourg
