0:00.0	Hey Sound Opinions Listeners, if you support us on Patreon, you get to listen to our podcast, Ad Free on Patreon. What babbling, mam blambambambambambambambambambambambambamb bambambambambambambamb Bum, bum. Skidididididh. Oh, skididua. You're listening to sound opinions and this week we're talking with director Todd Haynes about his Velvet Underground
0:34.5	documentary and we're reviewing new albums by Illuminati Hotty's and Ray Black.
0:40.1	I'm Jim D. Regattis.
0:41.9	And I'm Greg Kot. But first. And I'm Greg Kot.
0:43.2	But first, Jim and I have some thoughts on the Velvet Underground documentary.
0:46.6	Greg, I do not even want to talk over that song I always want to get sucked into the

1:06.6	and we are only now seeing the first serious documentary
1:10.8	about one of the most influential groups in the history of popular music.

1:59.6	champion, and Warhol was never not carrying a camera around in those days.
2:05.0	Well yeah, that's the weird part, right?
2:08.0	Todd Haynes seems to have done an extraordinary job in turning up every millimeter of film footage of the
2:17.1	velvets that is one of the treats of this movie. You know the accolades, the Hosanas online among, and I don't know, you know, you
2:26.7	and I maybe are just friends with every velvet fan, you know, within an 800 800 mile radius.
