from mojothe 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
― sonderangerbot, Saturday, 20 August 2011 21:18 (fourteen years ago)
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
― sweatpants life trajectory (schlump), Saturday, 20 August 2011 21:27 (fourteen years ago)
A fusion of this project and Kanye/Jay-Z would really make this a life changing event.

(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"?
― Viriconium Island Baby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 22 August 2011 15:34 (fourteen years ago)

Every time I see a photo of the new guy in Metallica I'm all "Who's THAT clown...oh yeah, him."
― Ned Raggett, Monday, 22 August 2011 15:56 (fourteen years ago)
you'd almost think they would just not even have him there, like the rolling stones and their bass player.

kind of hilarious that they are rolling out song titles one by one. o god, what will the next song title be!http://www.loureedmetallica.com/lulu.php

should we poll the song titles they've announced already. i would vote "junior dad"
― tylerw, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 22:19 (fourteen years ago)
something genuinely touching about Lou in that new photo. Can't quite work out what the eww/awww factor is tho.
― Darren Huckerby (Dwight Yorke), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 22:21 (fourteen years ago)
The only thing genuinely touching is that new guy and his balls.
― NickB, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 22:29 (fourteen years ago)
There's a version of this song on youtube btw with Lou, Laurie & John Zorn and some other dudes. And it sounds like a mess with those guys, so who knows how it'll end up?

"Junior Dad" reminds me of those crappy body switching movies like

i don't think enough people are freaking about about "Little Dog"
Metallica and Lou Reed sat together in the studio and said, "This is a song we have performed together. The name of this song will be Little Dog"
marinate on that
