Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

on release day we're all switching to display names cribbed from the lyrics to these songs, right

We have "Brandenburg Gate," "Mistress Dread" and "Junior Dad" lyrics left to go.

Hahah

In checking the credits again, I had forgotten Hal Willner is a coproducer and that there are apparently strings throughout. Plus Rob Wasserman.

has lou done anything WITHOUT rob wasserman in like 25 years?

True, that.

"Yeah, you, Tru Jilla or whatever your hip-hop name is, sit this one out."

notice this person credited with "electronics" on the LULU website..interesting:

Sarth Calhoun is an electronic musician from Brooklyn, NY.

He is a member of Lucibel Crater along with Leah Coloff and Paul Chuffo. He is also a member of Lou Reed's Metal Machine Trio, along with Lou Reed and Ulrich Krieger. He was previously a member of Number19.

He plays continuum fingerboard and beta tests for the Symbolic Sound Kyma workstation. He refers to himself as an "electronic alchemist" using audio equipment to perform live looping and processing of other instruments during performances.

here's the contiuum fingerboard! OMG i hope this is on LULU

It would be great if this whole thing turned out to be a demo disc sponsored by Monster Cable and Bose.

kinda want to hear this:

[Hal Willner] has released one album under his own name: Whoops, I'm an Indian, which featured audio samples from 78 rpm records from the early-mid 20th century.

this whole thing is VERY PRO.

when the music industry finally dies, i will pour myself a glass of scotch and mourn the passing of a time when a tremendous amount of time, money, and talent could be devoted to something so incredibly ridiculous.

Here's one of those Willner tracks -- from 1998, featuring Howie B! Of course.

Yeah, I found Hal Willner's presence intriguing, I've always liked his work, especially his Burroughs albums.

Meanwhile, I can't get the bibbibabka ditty out of my head now.

Wilner's done the last few Lou albums iirc, at least stretching back to Ecstasy. Wasserman's OK, but I'm disappointed that Lou didn't bring in the master of the fretless bass Fernando Saunders. Seems like a song called "Iced Honey" is just dying for a lil fretless bass solo.

xpost -- that was the goal.

This is going from being 80% a Metallica record to being 80% a Lou Reed record.

But systems, planets.

i like that hal willner song quite a bit!

i'm listening to the song "AKA Meltdown" by the band Tanner right now and it has a line that goes

"I WAS THE TABLE!"

it's really fun to read the "little dog" lyrics as if it's a t.i. song

Mate, that record is boss btw. Well worth hunting down, a more subtle take on the whole Avalanches schtick, if you don't mind that sort of thing.

I honestly was not expecting the official LULU to sound so much like the Use Your Ilulusions.

Snippet time!

Brandnburg Gate lyrics!!!!

I would cut my legs and tits off
When I think of Boris Karloff and Kinski
In the dark of the moon

It made me dream of Nosferatu
Trapped on the isle of Doctor Moreau
Oh wouldn’t it be lovely

I was thinking Peter Lorre
When things got pretty gory as I
Crossed to the Brandenburg Gate

I was feeling snappy perhaps I’d been napping
And I’d just ate
A following heart can tear you apart
On a midnight to 8 shift

A graveyard romance can only give one chance
As the tombstones weave and breathe

Feeling happy when my heart got beating
On a Sunday afternoon

I dreamt of breezes going through the treeses
And stars were still illumed
I have three hearts that I keep apart
Trying to relate
To normal feelings and the nightime reelings
And some absynthe drunk so late

The cook got drunk and all the whores they shrunk
Onto the size of dessert plates
But me I’m happy cause I got my little nappy
And some opium to set me straight
I’m just a small town girl who wants to give it a whirl
While my looks still hold me straight

Straight up to illusion and fantasy’s fusion
Of reality mixed with drink
I’m just a small town girl who’s gonna give life a whirl
Looking at the Brandenburg Gate

Yours are better.

For one thing, they make more sense.

omg @ "Pumping Blood"

this has leaked btw. You know, the fake actual Loutellica one

The preview of "Frustration" sounds really normal, not weird at all.

SMALL TOWN GIRRRRLLLLL-AH!

. . .

I dreamt of breezes going through the treeses.
I DREAMT OF BREEZES GOING THROUGH THE TREESES.

THE TREESES.

WHY DO I CHEAT ON THEEE YEAHHEEYEAHHH

Dr. Seuss level there

with the treeses and breezes
