"Cassa Integrazione": The last CD/DVD of "I Figli della Povera Schifosa" (Dirty Bitch Sons')
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Though it sold poorly on its initial release, this has since become arguably the most influential rock band of all time. The first art-rock album (Live in Alfero 2002), it merges dreamy, druggy balladry with raw and uncompromising sonic experimentation , and is famously clothed in that Andy Warhol-designed 'banana' sleeve. Lou Reed's lyrics depicted a Warholian New York demi-monde where hard drugs and sexual experimentation held sway. Shocking then, and still utterly transfixing.
