I hope he bought something nice. Being Lou Reed, it was at least enough heroin to get by for another few weeks.

Jet Bin Fever I wonder if he still pays people to shit in his mouth or on a plate thats on his face that he can then eat off of.

Better than most things he did after that. Better than everything Brian Eno did that wasn't stolen from Harmonia.
|
Old_Zircon Can't Hold a candle to Desert Shore by Nico and John Cale, though.
|
Old_Zircon Dylan's "Self Portrait" is still my favorite contractual obligation "fuck you" album of that time, though.
|
jangbones John Cale's earwax is more talented than Lou Reed
more pleasant to be around also

Also, I know a lot of noise and ambient music types who take this very seriously, which is proof enough for me that most noise and ambient music types don't understand parody.
|
Old_Zircon And for the record, I like this kind of stuff when it's done well.

Hooker
True to his roots as one of Warhol's artists.
|
Hooker And since it's become fashionable by its apologists to mention Tim & Eric in any video, I'm going to say that Tim & Eric are probably the Andy Warhols of our time: overhyped artists that have thin, grand ideas and put an absolute minimum of effort into them.

|
Hooker I don't really have much enthusiasm to expand upon it until someone rises to my bait.

PUZZLER FUN TIME
Which is worse: this album or his collaboration with Metallica?
|
Riskbreaker Here's a challenge: playing both things at the same time, how many alternative universes will be destroyed?

I bought this CD because it had like 10 stickers on it saying how many awards it won for being the worst album ever made. It did not disappoint!

I love everything about this album, except listening to it.
Best (only?) positive review was in the first issue of the legendary PUNK magazine, and was entitled "Methedrine Love Letter"
Best negative review was in Creem, who filled up a page with NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO...
My first girlfriend owned it on vinyl. We used to play it to get rid of unwanted house guests.

i can't stop laughing at this.

this is the only worthwhile solo Lou Reed album. It's beautiful
|
Old_Zircon This is probably true, but it's still a pretty weak example of this kind of music.

John Holmes Motherfucker Great Lou Reed solo albums that contain, you know, "songs" include "Rock and Roll Animal" "Street Hassle", and "Transformer", which is available complete as a youtube video

I found "Berlin" on Youtube It's good, but it's not a party record. It's about a fucked-up relationship that ends in suicide. Some deranged critic called this "the Sargeant Pepper of the seventies", I shit you not.

Of all the Lou Reed solo albums I've heard, 1989's "New York" is the best, no question. I just read in wikipedia that Maureen Tucker played on the album.
