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 - 2012-06-27 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 - 2012-06-27 Can't Hold a candle to Desert Shore by Nico and John Cale, though.
|
Old_Zircon - 2012-06-27 Dylan's "Self Portrait" is still my favorite contractual obligation "fuck you" album of that time, though.

jangbones - 2012-06-27 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 - 2012-06-27 And for the record, I like this kind of stuff when it's done well.

Hooker - 2012-06-27
True to his roots as one of Warhol's artists.
|
Hooker - 2012-06-27 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 - 2012-06-27 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 - 2012-06-27 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!
|
Old_Zircon - 2012-06-27 There are plenty of worse albums.

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.

this is the only worthwhile solo Lou Reed album. It's beautiful
|
Old_Zircon - 2012-06-27 This is probably true, but it's still a pretty weak example of this kind of music.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-06-27 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
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RUnf8vKlMc
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.

John Holmes Motherfucker - 2012-06-27 Songs for Drella, with John Cale, an album about Andy Warhol

Oh god, all the sample sound effects CDs melted together!

Better than The Beatles.
