Former Velvet Underground dude/Stooges producer John Cale released an EP earlier this year called Extra Playful, and he just put out a video for the single from that set, "Whaddya Mean By That." It's easy to forget, given the dour reputation of the Velvet Underground, that Cale's solo material has always had a pretty conventional regal pop bend to it. So get prepared for a former member of Velvet Underground doing a song that would probably work great over the end credits of Bucket List. Shit does get weird near the solo though: It's all harsh tones, and bloopy riffs.
Extra Playful is out now via Double Six.
