Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

XD

Meantime, a friend on FB discovered this quote via some assigned poli sci reading from this book:

"[Lou Reed's] greatest moment of advancement theory was in 1986, when he released the song 'The Original Wrapper.' Before either hip-hop music or the terrible disease were mainstream, the white, forty-four-year-old founder of punk rock rapped about AIDS."

that's amazing on a number of levels

cuz heroin and electric violas were mad mainstream in 1967

AIDS sold out and went mainstream in 1987 iirc

i blame keith haring

like a candle in a spout??

omg ned

That's paraphrasing Klosterman, right?: http://www.esquire.com/features/ESQ0704-JULY_AMERICA

Does seem to miss Klosterman's humour.

THE ALLIANCE OF THE YEAR

http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lt0mnrfSeR1qb4lmho1_500.gif

It's the one we've all been waiting for:

LITTLE DOG

Little dog who can’t get in
Moaning at the bed side
Moaning from each limb

Little dog who can’t get in
Can only cry but
Can not swim

Pony legs, little trot
Little dog has to wait a lot

The bigger dog has got his spot
And elbowed him away

Listen to him barking
Listen to him call
Little dog don’t have much at all

A puny body and a tiny dick
A little dog can make you sick

If you got the money you can go to the top
The female dog don’t care what you got
As long as you can raise that
Little doggie face to a cold hearted pussy
You could have a taste

A taste of what the big dog got
A taste of what the big dog got
The little dog with the one hundred dollar spot
Can run his tongue over the hot in trot
Hot in trot
Run his tongue over the hot in trot

Money can do anything
Money can do anything
Money can do anything
Tell me what you want

My small dog, he want what I got

Wants to run his tongue over my hot spot

Pathetic little dog

Pathetic little dog
The little man follows his nose
Counts his fingers and his toes
He still got those
Pathetic little dog
Pathetic little dog
Following his nose
But it needs my money to buy

I’m an up while you’re a down
I am an up while you’re a down
The spring and the will follow me around
While you sniff your shit in the wind
Sniff your shit in the wind
Money can do anything
Money can do anything
Tell me what it is you want
Just tell me what it is you want
I’m an up while you’re a down
The spring and the will follow me around

Tell me what it is you want
Tell me what it is you want

You sniff your shit in the wind
Follow me around

Pathetic little dog
Pathetic little dog
Pathetic little dog

The little dog with the one hundred dollar spot
Can run his tongue over the hot in trot
Hot in trot
Run his tongue over the hot in trot

"Little dog has to wait a lot"
Boy can I relate - will it ever be October 31st?

had to check the site to confirm these are the actual lyrics - doesn't it look like something some rapper would rap? anyway, liking this a lot of course lol :)

hearing Little Dog as a Little Richard style jam with saxophones

you keep a-doggin' but you can't come in

While you sniff your shit in the wop-bop-a-walla-wap-bam-boom

Little doggie face to a cold hearted pussy

He actually went there, whaddyaknow.

this album is all about going there.

Lou should have checked with our versions first.

I can't... I can't even

I seriously might buy this

this is from chris, the scribe of ILX's little dog I:

Also the actual "Little Dog" lyrics are up and I was ready to proclaim myself the winner, Lou kind of knocks this one out of the park

A puny body and a tiny dick
A little dog can make you sick

My small dog, he want what I got

Wants to run his tongue over my hot spot

Pathetic little dog

what. the. FUCK.

A puny body and a tiny dick
A little dog can make you sick

This needs to be sung to the tune of Cousin Balki's Bibi-Babkas song (aka the Limbo Rock song but you get my meaning).

nobody does terrible like lou reed

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.

(How's that for keeping this SFW?)

v impressive!

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
