i give you the lyrics to "Junior Dad""Junior Dad"Would you come to meIf I was half drowningAn arm above the last waveWould you come to meWould you pull me upWould the effort really hurt youIs it unfair to ask youTo help pull me upThe window broke the silence of the matchesThe smoke effortlessly floatingI'm all choked upPull me upWould you be my lord and saviorPull me up by the hairNow would you kiss me on my lipsBurning fever burning on my foreheadThe brain that once was listeningNow shoots out its tiresome messageWon't you pull me upScalding my dead father has the motorAnd he's driving towardsAn island of lost soulsSunny - a monkey then to monkeyI will teach you meanness fear and blindnessNo social redeeming kindnessOh-or-state of graceWould you pull me upWould you drop the mental bulletWould you pull me by the arm upWould you still kiss my lipsHiccup: the dream is overGet the coffee: turn the lights onSay hello to junior dadThe greatest disappointmentAge withered him and changed himInto junior dadPsychic savagery

those are some pretty odd lyrics for Lou, it seems to me

a fair amount of non-sequiturs, broken phrases, plus all the direct-address/1st person "you" lines... no?

SPIN "gets" it
SPIN's 26 Fall Albums That Matter MostLOU REED & METALLICA
Lulu (Warner Bros.)Release date: November 1
The Skinny: There are gruff old-dude rockers who have seen/heard/endured it all, and then there are gruff old-dude rockers who have seen/heard/endured it all and also happen to be Lou Reed or members of Metallica. The pairing makes so little sense on the surface that it suggests a weird sort of inverted logic, and however it will shake out, say this about Lulu: There are few records due out this season that could literally race off in a thousand stylistic directions. The genesis of the project goes back to a theatrical production Reed conceived to put on in Berlin, based on the so-called "Lulu Plays" of an old German Expressionist writer who died in 1918. Then came a joint performance with Metallica for a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame concert in 2009 and a desire to do something interesting together in the studio. Flash forward to a little later, and here we are — with a grouping dubbed Loutallica on their very own website.
Fast Fact: Lou Reed, no stranger to bold proclamations, described the Metallica collabo music in New York magazine as "awe-inspiring. It's maybe the best thing done by anyone, ever. It could create another planetary system. I'm not joking, and I'm not being egotistical."

fyi, LULU is listed in all 26 spots for that feature. no other albums matter.

Rolling Stone - Fall Music Preview: The Season's Hottest AlbumsLou Reed & Metallica - 'Lulu' (11/1)"Everything is cut live – us staring at each other, playing," Lou Reed says of his new collaboration with the world's biggest metal band: 10 songs about extreme desire and violence, originally written by Reed for a theatrical production in Berlin and recorded with magnum-concert force at Metallica's studio north of San Francisco. "It's like going back to the garage when you're 15 years old," adds drummer Lars Ulrich, sitting next to Reed one day during the sessions. "A very expensive garage," Reed cracks dryly.
Reed and Metallica first played together at the 2009 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame anniversary concerts in New York. "We knew we were made for each other," Reed contends. Indeed, the wildest thing about Lulu may be how natural he and the band sound together: the way James Hetfield's Viking bellow dogs Reed's parched vocal desperation in "Cheat on Me"; Metallica's perfect whiplash against the masochistic pleading in "Mistress Dread." "It was all about the lyrics," Hetfield says of the riffs and arrangements Metallica contributed to Reed's songs. "What is he trying to get across here? What is the feel? Whatever the feel is, let's amplify it."

30 second teasers or a single edit of a song would be lame at this point. i will be happy to hear the whole thing when it arrives.

(Ha, I was half tempted to make "Junior Dad" pre-cover a fairly straight cover of "Sister Ray" with "junior dad" subbed in every time the title comes in.)
