Velvet Quotes
You're going to spend a good hour-plus reading, so you have to make sure you have the flexibility you need.
- Velvet Hammerschmidt

You can't walk up 52nd Street and see the Three Deuces or the Onyx Club and see where Bee Bop was born... You can't go to Max's Kansas City and listen where the Velvet Underground were. You can't go pretty much anywhere on Bleecker and McDougal and see the clubs that fomented folk music. But you can come to CBGB's on any random night and see six wacky bands from anywhere.
- Lenny Kaye

When I was a kid I listened to a lot of punk music, but then along came Orange Juice... They really broadened my musical perspective. They were self-deprecating and had a great sense of humor. And they sounded like Velvet Underground meeting Al Green. They called themselves 'the sound of young Scotland,' a play on Motown's 'Sound of Young America.'
- Norman Blake
