And she just might be angry enough to take everyone down with her.
Velveteen can't help herself when it comes to breaking rules. A risk she's willing to take - except fate has just given her reason to stick around: an unreasonably hot and completely off-limits coworker. Velveteen's obsessive haunting cracks the foundations of purgatory and jeopardizes her very soul. She'll haunt him for the rest of his days.īut crossing the divide between the living and the dead has devastating consequences. Velveteen aches to deliver the bloody punishment her killer deserves. Which doesn't leave Velveteen much time to do anything about what's really on her mind. It's gray, ashen, and crumbling more and more by the day, and everyone has a job to do. And while it's not a fiery inferno, it's certainly no heaven. At 16, she was kidnapped and murdered by a madman named Bonesaw. Yes, it can, and this is perhaps the most important lesson the Velvet Underground: the power of the human soul to transcend its darker levels.Velveteen Monroe is dead. Velveteen in a sixteen-year-old girl who is trapped in purgatory after being brutally murdered by a serial killer. Language: R (100+ swears 6 Fs) Mature Content: R Violence: R. Their spiritual odyssey ranges from an early blast of sadomasochistic self-loathing called “I’m So Fucked Up,” through the furious nihilism of “Heroin” and the metaphysical quest implied in the words “I’m searching for my mainline,” to this album, which combines almost overpowering musical lyricism with deeply yearning, compassionate lyrics to let us all know that they are finally “Beginning to See the Light.”Ĭan this be that same bunch of junkie - faggot - sadomasochist - speed - freaks who roared their anger and their pain in storms of screaming feedback and words spat out like strings of epithets? Yes. Velveteen by Daniel Marks-Public Only Marks, Daniel Velveteen, 447pgs. The real question is what this music is about - smack, meth, deviate sex and drugdreams, or something deeper?
How do you define a group like this, who moved from “Heroin” to “Jesus” in two short-years? It is not enough to say that they have one of the broadest ranges of any group extant this should be apparent to anyone who has listened closely to their three albums.
The Velvet Underground are alive and well (which in itself may surprise some people) and ever-changing.
