it's funny that a dude known for some of the more junky lo-fi recordings of the rock era is such a gear head.

lol that he's wearing a shirt of himself

this was a whole "phase" he went through

if i were lou reed i would wear a shirt of myself

"Who the Fuck is John Cale" shirts were sold out, presumably

i only wear shirts with my face on it

those moog guitars sound kinda awesome

looks like one of these http://www.ctbasses.com/

some kinda alembic knockoff because I guess a real alembic isn't boutique enough for lou haha

lou always has really weird guitars. there could probably be a whole thread devoted to that.

ha i saw lou a few years back and whenever i remember it i just remember the quiet part between songs when everyone was changing up and he picked up a guitar and said this, and there was a pause, is a seven-string guitar

lol
i have a bootleg from the early 00s where lou stops in the middle of the song to point out that his second guitarist has some effect that makes his guitar sound like a piano. "you're playing a guitar? how does it sound like a piano." the audience sounds unimpressed.

from mojo
the extent to which the process has succeeded largely depends on one's appetite for Lou Reed declaiming over relentless dirge-riffing, but what's beyond doubt is the albums remarkable fusion of extreme components

there's a 19 minute long track called 'Junior Dad'

xp it seems this collaboration is really bringing out the worst in everyone

the audience sounds unimpressed.

just wanna add this to my anecdote & any other recollections of that evening. like that semi-disdainful reverence-demanding distance between performer and crowd.

someone using the word 'fusion' really bodes well for this collaboration btw, it's usually busted out for good cause

A fusion of this project and Kanye/Jay-Z would really make this a life changing event.

watch the pwn

sadly looks like some intern is doing it, not lou or lars :(

dammit. lou should really be out there tweetin' about this.
still, they've set up the account, there's no going back now. this is happening.

It had to go through Lou. Taxed and tariffed.

"Lulu": great name guys. Is it a concept album about the Scottish popstrel?

based on the berg opera iirc???

Call of Ktlulu

LouLou

(guess it's actually based on "various stories originally written by the German playwright Frank Wedekind", which inspired the various lulu plays/operas/movies/etc. is there a song called pandora's box here or what)

Does it have a G.W. Pabst character singing about Louise Brooks being "such a perfect wit"?

definitely. also a cover of john cale's "jack the ripper"

new pic. weekend at bernie's otm.

metallica guys betraying fanboy status by leaning in for the picture-of-me-&-lou pose

can we be shown metallica + lou reed

Ž

Every time I see a photo of the new guy in Metallica I'm all "Who's THAT clown...oh yeah, him."

you'd almost think they would just not even have him there, like the rolling stones and their bass player.

Somebody should do a shop of The Notorious Metallica Brothers

(sorry for iPhone glitch post)

wait when did Lou start wearing white footwear

We're still between Memorial and Labor Days, after all.

hope there's some quality backing vocals a la "u flush it out, u flush it out"

kind of hilarious that they are rolling out song titles one by one. o god, what will the next song title be!

lol

should we poll the song titles they've announced already. i would vote "junior dad"

something genuinely touching about Lou in that new photo. Can't quite work out what the eww/awww factor is tho.

The only thing genuinely touching is that new guy and his balls.
