Purple pride is not a factor at The Buffering Stream 12/12

  • eBay auction is over. You did not win that rare Velvet Underground LP for $155,541.

  • Lock your doors, leave no valuables in your car: Courtney Love is free again.

  • Ross asks: What should Prince play at Superbowl halftime show? Maybe a cover of "Wardrobe Malfunction."

  • All those people you made in your image: XTC action figures. Wha?

  • More holiday cheer: Three free remixes from Thom Yorke.

  • Get to know ¡Forward Russia! In the studio at The Current.

    Barb's link refers to this: It looks like the winning bid was not placed in good faith...

    I had my doubts about the widely circulated claim that this could be "arguably the most important document in rock 'n' roll history." And I'm not sure why NME keeps calling the acetate the "definitive version of Velvet Underground and Nico."

    Since it is apparently one-of-a-kind, that sorta makes it the OPPOSITE of definitive.

    Anyway, if you've got something you think is worth 100 grand, I should think eBay is not maybe the best place to auction it off.
