Some Kinda Love: Performing the Music of The Velvet Underground is a 2023 live album by American alternative rock band The Feelies covering The Velvet Underground. The Feelies count the Velvet Underground as a major influence and also toured with Lou Reed in the 1980s. It has received positive reviews from critics.

Reception
Editors at AllMusic rated this album 4 out of 5 stars, with critic Mark Deming writing that the decision to cover the Velvets is "a calculated risk" with the inevitable comparisons to the original material, especially since both bands share "adoration of the rhythm guitar... eager embrace of simple, hypnotic percussion, and... status as East Coast individualists with an aversion to creative compromise" and this album is successful as "a party where five fans dive deep into some cherished songs and attack them with an ideal balance of reverence and abandon". Bill Pearis of BrooklynVegan attended the live show on this album and calls this release "a delight and a document of their continued love and acknowledgement of their biggest inspiration". Editors at Pitchfork scored this release 7.7 out of 10 and critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine praised it for choosing songs that show the positive side of the Velvets' catalog that results in a celebratory recording that is "a roaring rock’n’roll record because the Feelies play with such enthusiasm". Jeff Tamarkin of Relix called this "a vital addition to The Feelies’ own canon" with the band taking "each song’s essence and turn[ing] it into a Feelies tune". Mark Berlyant of Under the Radar gave this release 8 out of 10 stars for being "more loose, free, and just flat-out fun" than the band's studio work.
