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'

tylerw, Saturday, 20 August 2011 21:04 (fourteen years ago)

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.

sweatpants life trajectory (schlump), Saturday, 20 August 2011 21:26 (fourteen years ago)

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.

watch the pwn

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.

tylerw, Monday, 22 August 2011 15:27 (fourteen years ago)

It had to go through Lou. Taxed and tariffed.

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

Neil S, Monday, 22 August 2011 15:29 (fourteen years ago)

based on the berg opera iirc???

Call of Ktlulu

Pleasant Plains, Monday, 22 August 2011 15:30 (fourteen years ago)

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

Close. Tribute to her erstwhile husband Maurice Gibb as seen through her eyes.

tylerw, Monday, 22 August 2011 15:32 (fourteen years ago)

(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)

tylerw, Monday, 22 August 2011 15:33 (fourteen years ago)

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)

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

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

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.

tylerw, Monday, 22 August 2011 15:58 (fourteen years ago)

Somebody should do a shop of The Notorious Metallica Brothers

(sorry for iPhone glitch post)

Viriconium Island Baby (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 22 August 2011 16:01 (fourteen years ago)

wait when did Lou start wearing white footwear

Master of Treacle, Monday, 22 August 2011 16:12 (fourteen years ago)

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

Pleasant Plains, Monday, 22 August 2011 16:23 (fourteen years ago)

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

markers, Monday, 22 August 2011 18:50 (fourteen years ago)

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

lol

markers, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 22:17 (fourteen years ago)

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 19 minute long track called 'Junior Dad'

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?

NickB, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 22:37 (fourteen years ago)

LITTLE DOG!

i'm so fucking excited for this

fela cudi (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Wednesday, 24 August 2011 22:40 (fourteen years ago)

oh yeah this sounds perfectly suited to an arrangement by metallica

Little Dog AKA Master of Whippets

NickB, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 22:45 (fourteen years ago)

what's lou playing there - an etch a sketch?

tylerw, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 22:46 (fourteen years ago)

really feel like kirk should've written all the lyrics

markers, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 23:50 (fourteen years ago)

or whoever it was that penned "you flush it out, you flush it out"

markers, Wednesday, 24 August 2011 23:51 (fourteen years ago)

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

buzza, Thursday, 25 August 2011 00:50 (fourteen years ago)

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

fela cudi (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 25 August 2011 18:06 (fourteen years ago)

oh shit, they just revealed the cover art

tylerw, Thursday, 25 August 2011 18:16 (fourteen years ago)

i wonder if the guys in metallica got a say in naming any of the songs

markers, Thursday, 25 August 2011 18:17 (fourteen years ago)

it's beautiful:

Junior Dad
Little Dog
Mistress Dread
Pumping Blood

based on these titles, I predict the next song to be revealed will be titled:
Uncle Death
