"They are my metal blood brothers," Reed claimed. "No one wants Lulu Part 2, but on Radio Lou, in my head where I hear these songs, I want more of it.
ILX wants Lulu Part 2, Lou!

Lou Reed's New York Shuffle with Hal WilnerSaturdays midnight ETHear music that runs the gamut from jazz to vintage rock. As Lou says, “I’ve always been a fan of eclectic radio. I loved the days when DJs who did their own programming set the bar high.“ Lou co-hosts the show with record producer Hal Willner, his recent collaborator on the concert film Berlin.

I really do wonder if, when Lou's pulling sounds out of the amorphous mass of free jazz, doo-wop and trebly guitar in his mind, if he hears a crotchety old man pitching all over the place.

Quick, we need to do the video to either of our "Iced Honey" tracks first.

Finally heard the whole thing and yeah, I like parts of this. It gets much better as it goes along, I think lopping off the first two tracks would have helped immensely.

After the wild anticipation ride of "omg this is gonna be AWESOME / lol wait no this is gonna be horrible / but WAIT! COULD BE AWESOME! / no, probably shite / ILX Lulu is teh best ever / Hmm, is this gonna be grebt?" I have to conclude that this album is in fact a shiny bonkers piece of shite. It just does not work and the "music" is terrible.
The ILX version beats it by miles and miles. I wish Lou was on ILX and had participated in our pre-cover project. But even without him, it is wayyy better than the actual Lulu.

this isn't all that good but it's not the sonic abortion people really want it to be. i liked some parts of it, though i doubt i'd want to listen to it again.
― latebloomer, Friday, 4 November 2011 05:48 (twelve years ago) link
Bateau trolling? whole "piece of shite" thing is funny, sure, but it doesn't make sense to dismiss tracks like brandenburg gate, the view, iced honey, junior dad. like blue mask much? if no maybe just not fan of later reed ye.
― niels, Friday, 4 November 2011 13:26 (twelve years ago) link
Except I think "Brandenburg Gate" and "The View" are the two worst tracks on here.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Friday, 4 November 2011 13:28 (twelve years ago) link
@Niels, I was coming on a bit strong but I do think, as an album, a project, it's just really, really bad. Sure, I think 'Junior Dad' is quite all right, but I realised it's because it's the least Metallica/Lou Reed thing on here, if that makes sense. This album just does not work for me. At all.
I do like most of Reed's solo work, I'd stan for more of his later work than others probably, but Loutallica is just a horrible combination for me. At leats how they did it this time around. They're on separate tracks, it's like Lou's contribution is tacked onto some dire Metallica outtakes.
