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.

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

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.

Brandnburg Gate lyrics!!!!
I would cut my legs and tits offWhen I think of Boris Karloff and KinskiIn the dark of the moon
It made me dream of NosferatuTrapped on the isle of Doctor MoreauOh wouldn’t it be lovely
I was thinking Peter LorreWhen things got pretty gory as ICrossed to the Brandenburg Gate
I was feeling snappy perhaps I’d been nappingAnd I’d just ateA following heart can tear you apartOn a midnight to 8 shift
A graveyard romance can only give one chanceAs the tombstones weave and breathe
Feeling happy when my heart got beatingOn a Sunday afternoon
I dreamt of breezes going through the treesesAnd stars were still illumedI have three hearts that I keep apartTrying to relateTo normal feelings and the nightime reelingsAnd some absynthe drunk so late
The cook got drunk and all the whores they shrunkOnto the size of dessert platesBut me I’m happy cause I got my little nappyAnd some opium to set me straightI’m just a small town girl who wants to give it a whirlWhile my looks still hold me straight
Straight up to illusion and fantasy’s fusionOf reality mixed with drinkI’m just a small town girl who’s gonna give life a whirlLooking at the Brandenburg Gate
