Jonathan Richman was one of those people that bought a copy of Velvet Underground & Nico and formed a band. He was lucky enough to get to work with John Cale and recorded a bunch of demos which didn’t get released officially for another 3 years and by then Jonathan Richman had went a completely different way stylistically with his sound. His follow up album was released a month before Modern Lovers dropped.Don't know any of this. The allmusic review calls it proto-punk. Seems more like Velvet Underground jangly pop to me. I like it.
