Just listened to their debut album for the very first time.

I'm flabbergasted! It was gooood! My fav is definitely Sunday Morning. It's just such a calm, quite song, loved the mellowness. I'm waiting for the man was also super good, sounded like a train. Venus in Furs... it's queer and peculiar but so intriguing. Loved it! Run Run Run - wasn't a big fan of that, it was dull. All tomorrow's parties sounded like a group of ancient celtic warriors. Nico's voice is so so unique. Heroin - another favourite of mine. Great lyrics as well. There she goes again sounded Beatle-ish. It has a "With the beatles" or "Help" album vibe. I'll be your mirror was beautiful, love Nico's voice. The black angel's death song and European son was eardamaging. I mean, how can one listen to those? Especially with headphones, it is unbearable.

Wish there would be other teenagers to play and write music like the ones on this album. I just can't find anyone.

Where to start?

So, I’ve been a huge Beatles fan for many years and around a week ago YouTube recommended me “Sunday Morning”. What can I say… I’m amazed and perplexed! How I never heard of the Velvets??? I immediately listened to some of their most popular songs and I completely fell in love.

My question is. Where should I start, regarding their lore and music?

Hi!

I've been reading books in English for almost two years; however, I don't really feel any improvement, and I'm getting discouraged. When I pick up a book written in the 19th or early 20th century, I basically can't understand it. There are just way too many unfamiliar words. The only time I actually managed to grasp a book was when I read something by Verne. Any tips? Can you recommend short books which are easy to read in English? I mostly read classics.
