	The Velvet Underground - Biography - AOL Music
		Few rock groups can claim to have broken so much new territory, and maintain such consistent brilliance on record, as the Velvet Underground during their brief lifespan.
		Historians often hail the group for their incalculable influence upon the punk and new wave of subsequent years, and while the Velvets were undoubtedly a key touchstone of the movements, to focus upon these elements of their vision is to only get part of the story.
		Reed and Cale were both interested in fusing the avant-garde with rock & roll, and had found the ideal partners for making the vision (a very radical one for the mid-'60s) work; their synergy would be the crucial axis of the Velvet Underground's early work.

	Alternative rock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		At times it was used as catch-all phrase for rock music from underground artists in the 1980s and rock music in general in the 1990s.
		While "alternative" was simply an umbrella term for a diverse collection of underground rock bands, Nirvana and similar groups gave it a reputation for being a distinct style of guitar based rock which combined elements of punk and metal; their creation met with considerable commercial success.
		Today's most popular rock music acts, typified by youth oriented modern rock groups such as Linkin Park, incorporate complex electronic beats and highly produced albums, but owe a heavy debt to their metal and grunge influences.

	Nevada's Hard Rock Underground
		I was curious to compare contemporary underground gold mines in northern Nevada to the Comstock silver mines of more than a century ago.
		Barrick's Meikle mine is the largest underground gold mine in the United States, he said, both in terms of production--it is expected to produce 400,000 ounces a year --and in terms of reserves--an estimated 6.6 million ounces are in the ground, said Brown.
		It's not "so unusual" to see women underground now, not like "it used to be," she says.

		The oceans, the air, the ground, and even the soil teems with animals, plants, and microorganisms, but rock deep underground -- with its scorching temperatures and toxic chemicals -- is hardly a hospitable place for life.
		Bacteria cultured from the deep rock samples were a different sort entirely: They were anaerobic organisms, which die when exposed to oxygen.
		Preliminary tests on rocks from the mine reveal that thermophilic bacteria somehow manage to survive, even at the extreme depths of 3.5 km.

		The water is heated through contact with the rock and is then returned to the surface through another borehole where it is used to generate electricity.
		By keeping the water under pressure and preventing it turning to steam, any materials dissolved from the underground rock mass (such as silica or carbonates) are kept in solution and can be returned to the ground.
		Because the heat used in the Hot Rock Energy process is eventually replaced by the Earth, this energy source has been classified as renewable energy by agencies such as the International Energy Agency and the Australian Greenhouse Office.

		They are one of the most important rock and roll bands of all time, laying the groundwork in the Sixties for many tangents rock music would take in ensuing decades.
		And though a Yule-led Velvet Underground briefly kept the name alive, that was essentially the end of the story: four brilliant albums that formed a blueprint for the next three decades of rock and roll.
		At their 1996 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Velvet Underground sang a new song, “Last Night I Said Goodbye to My Friend,” a tribute to guitarist Sterling Morrison, who’d died of cancer the previous year.

	Rock In China - History of Chinese Rock/Modern Music (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Rock was a big thing both in political and financial terms in the late 80s, but the popularity, the audience, was limited mostly to Beijing's college and university students and some artistic circles.
		Both cut CDs and the Beijing midi school of music stimulated the growth of rock musicians in China and in the capital, until by 1997 the number of rockers was sufficient for the advent of the underground rock community.
		Cobain's rejection of rock stardom, the DO IT YOURSELF-attitude of Nirvana, the cultural and geographical periphery of the grunge-hotbed Seattle and Nirvana's explicit glorification of the small but true underground scene can all be seen as feeding in to the underground community Beijing 1997-2004.

		Or how St. Petersburg's pioneering rock producer Andrei Tropillo, the man largely responsible for the 1980s Soviet rock revolution, provided an electrician with liters of cognac to ensure a regular and reliable energy supply to record Akvarium, Stranniye Igry and Manufaktura for a 24-track mobile studio at night.
		The bigger distributors of underground tape albums, such as Moscow's so-called "Union of Writers" (a pun on the similarity between the words pisat - "to write" - and zapisyvat - "to record"), dealt with bigger sums - the master tape of a major underground rock band used to cost around 200 old Soviet rubles, i.e.

	Henry - Underground art rock — Boston, Mass.
		Well, I suppose as the Pixies have reformed to some acclaim, there must be a market for their eighties based spiky, wired guitar alternative rock, and Henry fit the bill to a T. It's a little bit shoegazing, it's a little bit Mary Chain, with nods to the requisite Velvet Undergound influences.
		It also seems worth a mention that The Velvet Underground is the primary band with whom critics once compared the Strokes; and the Strokes fucking suck.
		Henry's tunes are like the 80s, kicking the likes of Sting and Asia out on their asses and grooving into the unlit alleys and cult clubs that gave life to a culture.

	SIRIUS Satellite Radio - The Best in Garage Rock, Steven Van Zandt and More!
		My argument is that nothing comes from nothing and the history of rock and roll, like pop in general, is one that constantly begs, borrows and steals from other musical forms, reinvigorating and rejuvenating itself.
		The timeline of rock and roll is one of linked chains, the new pulling from the old and the strength felt throughout.
		It’s the greatest rock and roll, from any era, played all together and as you listen the paths from one journey to the next are laid before you and you can travel not back in time, but onward through the future!

	Reason to Rock: Velvet Underground
		Although the Velvets were apparently similar to other late-sixties rock groups, in that their subject matter included sex and drugs, these similarities were only superficial.
		So whereas The Beatles used a bit of guitar feedback to introduce the otherwise traditional song, “I Feel Fine,” VU used feedback much more pervasively, and as a way of painting an urban landscape that was as foreign to normal sensibilities as was the music they were playing.
		It was only their fourth and final original album, Loaded, that was influenced at all by any commercial considerations, and by this time their artistic vision was well enough established that it was able to successfully weather such influences.

	Velvet Underground Album Reviews
		With the departure of sonic innovator John Cale (he was replaced by the versatile Doug Yule), the most adventurous force in the band and the primary architect behind their ugliest and most extravagant noises, the Velvet Underground were now completely Lou Reed’s band.
		The tone of the album is similar to their third album but is more rocking and commercial overall, with a heretofore unprecedented optimism.
		After all, this is a band who originally made their name based on their confrontational sound and a truly combustible chemistry, and this band bears little resemblance to that groundbreaking unit.

	Popular Music and Society: "That Chicago sound": playing with identity in underground rock
		In blending aspects of punk and early indie rock in a way that is seen to reflect something about its point of origin, the Chicago sound reflects the logic of other underground rock "sounds" (Seattle, Chapel Hill, Athens, and so on) of the 1980s and 1990s.
		Finally, I explore how the primary elements of this style are then adopted and transformed by subsequent bands, in a continual motion away from geographic or stylistic fixity, as the Chicago sound becomes part of the global language of underground rock practice.
		Albini is a vigorous proponent of a do-it-yourself (DIY) approach to musical practice and economics, which is one of punk's major contributions to underground rock discourse.
