You, Me and Lou Reed - Television Personalities

You, Me and Lou Reed - Television Personalities
2:57
You, Me and Lou Reed E.P., 1993
Written by Dan Treacy

Who's Lou?

Yet another band I've never heard of, TVP is a post-punk outfit influenced by, pace Wikipedia, Jonathan Richman and the Sex Pistols (what a lineup).  This song is a jangly, lo-fi exercise in nostalgia (it also cites Hendrix and the Rolling Stones).  Over a VU-style riff, singer Dan Treacy delivers the lyrics in a half-spoken, desultory nasal style, ironic yet intimate.
