How this came about:

Lou Reed/Metallica Collabo Anticipation Thread

ILX pre-covers LULU -- the Lou Reed/Metallica album

Enjoy!

Oh yeah and the press release:

--

It's not surprising, but what is surprising? Indeed, what is surprise? What is? What isn't?

The future is in regard to the past, the present is of the moment, that which is of now. And now is not now yet, but now will yet be, and the now is of that moment so anticipated that when the now is achieved, it will have already been. A moment before the moment occurring, yet in that moment, which is and is not.

LULU, the great work. Within a realm that is real, a reality, and yet beyond those limits. Something yet nothing, for nothing is real, it is nothing to get crunk about. It is everything, and so, the response.

But not the response, the presponse.

Rock (and yet, why just rock?) is ingested here, pre-chewed, unrealized, reified. Its potency defies fertility, not defines it, for limitation is not of this essence.

The words, they were unknown, yet they barked, a canine grace in a feline aperture of a rodential body of an insectoid dream. The acoustic stared at the multiple. Hello, acoustic, we did not see you sitting there.

THE VOICE!

Inscribed onto a genetic code of fragmented realization, a UPC of marketing that which can't for it was and isn't and will be. We had to laugh.

It mirrored, it was one, then two, a dual strand, a single fusion, a unique gathering, a shattering of elements, a ten a twenty a nothing an infinity.

Our morality was a modernity, a ship not steered but flung into the heavens as by an outraged god, turned into a constellation of dark matter. A rough beast, belching towards Cleveland.

ILX Pre-Covers LULU.

Between bot and objection. Slime is the mire in which we turn. Cannot the wisdom of confusion bake your dome?

Fantastic, Ned !

haha such an amazing concept. i think this is going to keep me very preoccupied for the next week or so.

I knew this all sounded familiar.

Serious question: is Pleasant Plains actually Lou Reed?

omg the house piano on Brandenburg Gate

tyler you are killin me

haha

first half of AlXTC's cheat on me is very nice!

and i think he pulls off the walk on the wild side doo doos better than me. they're actually kind of hard.

Matt and Chris's "Little Dog" is genuinely cool and groovy.

Thanks!

iTunes genre tag = "Everything". Stoked for the madness!

It couldn't be limited to any one thing. 'Everything' it was.

Lou Reed: “I am large, I contain multitudes.”

"I am Lulu, I contain Metallica"

honestly cannot wait to listen to this

well the first two songs are aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamazing. srsly <3 you guys.

omgggggggg tyler

omg pumping blood.

tyler this is like irl good music

kind of think a lot of this is irl good music!

wth at mistress dead

this record is blowing my mind yall

can i vote for it in the eventual 2011 poll?

uh-oh, i just caused a scene in the office.

http://annies-eats.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/hostess-cupcakes.jpg

a lot of this music is pretty #based imo

Fell off chair laughing at Tyler's "I made Metallica cry"... aaaaaand cue disco beats!

pp I got really lazy at the end and just thought to myself "what does lou really want out of life, what do we all want"

oh my god. tyler's.

I kept a straight face until that line broke me.

Digging "Pumping Blood" - II. Can't spell Can without n/a.

Iced Honey 1 IS MUH JAM.

I'm really surprised how good each track segues into another; none of you heard each others when making it right?

I wish I knew how to actually play instruments/make music I am kind of in awe of you dudes and I'm only on track two of vol 1

some of this is legit amazing.

don't care if I liveblog every track but pump pump pump pump pump pump pump

Da Croup's "Iced Honey" is really making me hope this gets Spotifyed.

omg mo's on pumping blood

Guys, I have so much work to do today, but I can't stop listening to this. Currently on the Hawaiian guitar-like segment of "Mistress Dread." This is making me happier than a new Residents record.

So much so that I have a new screen name.

damn, aixtc. you're gonna make me start otm'ing like hoos here.

Tyler's was just SO FUCKING PERFECT as the first song. First time I heard these as they came in I was just fucking floored. Floored by all of them, really!

Da Croup's "Iced Honey" is really making me hope this gets Spotifyed.

I was hoping someone else would single out this one; I love the complete contrast between the two halves.

I could say this about a lot of these, but snoball's making me happy this thing's in stereo.

I'm sure this is causing some serious thinking in the Loutallica camp

http://www.pollsb.com/photos/o/11570-photo_lou_reed_taken_week_imagin_today_s_musicians_aura_60_s.jpg

I am on song 6 vol. 1 and I don't even know what to single out anymore good job everyone, proud of u

I'm really surprised how good each track segues into another; none of you heard each others when making it right?

As far as I know, no -- they all just arrived as they did. Gotta say that ILX comps are pretty stellar for always having some actual variety to them.

snoball's "Frustration" is another favorite; his "Get On Your Boots" for the U2 one is an all time classic and this is not far off.

do you guys think this will be how the irl lou reed and metallica react to their lulu

"Wow, Kirk. I didn't know you actually knew how to play the guitar."

lol at tyler's brandenburg gate, nicely done

Sean's "Junior Dad" on Soundcloud looks like a fucking missile about to blow up my cubicle.

YOU NEVER HAD A LITTLE DOG

aw, that's so sad. thanks for the sacrifice, gr8080 !

Put Raggett videos as a bonus on the CD/DVD of this.

fake loutallica has gone off the internet because of you

― An Outcast From Time's Feast (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, October 26, 2011 12:35 PM (2 days ago)

the bridge of "Little Dog" I is still my favorite moment on the album

yeah, that's pretty much when I set my left temple down on the edge of the desk and started convulsing.

Utterly glorious, that moment. I think my first reaction was a 'what the' and then it hit me fully.

my favorite moment would be the piano final of little dog v.I. so beautiful.

The lyrics to that Little Dog are grebt, but I still go for the two popular favorites Brandenburg Gate I and Cheat On Me II

I finally heard all of LULU II today, and I just wanted to give props to Sean and Virgin Killer for two *amazing* and totally different versions of "Junior Dad". Major respect for taking on the 20-minute track!

Both albums are really great.

If only there were a way to plant a few burned identical-looking CDs at record stores...

Let's not forget that this EXISTS!

Oh I never forget.

seems like there should be a live ILX webcast tomorrow that happens at exactly the same time as this http://loureedmetallica.com/news/an-evening-with-lou-reed-metallica-a-live-radio-broadcast/online-webcast-in-germany

So, is this still off the "net" because of Youtube?

Lord no! The Soundcloud links at the very start of the thread still happily work. I set 'em up that way for a reason, folks!

I haven't had the courage to listen to any real LULU track : is it as bad as it seems ?

be courageous.

Finally reached the end of these last night. Big respect to all involved.

i hope this was one of them

our massive success with LITTLE DOG has made chr1s and me the 260TH BEST NEW BAND IN MINNNEAPOLIS/ST.PAUL!!

http://www.citypages.com/pickedtoclick/totals/2012/

We missed the first anniversary by a few days! Let us celebrate.

the day everything changed.

Damn Right!

oh, one year already ?
the best thing done by anyone ever, right !

260th best new local band feels about right

if we would have put more work into our animal collective song we could have broken the 240s :(

it's been a sad couple of days
but Dot, the little dog in "Little Dog" has passed away
she was a pro's pro, knocked out her vocal in one take

Very sad.

But now she is with Lou.

sorry to hear it, m@tt!

And Now he has.. a little dog ...

I had forgotten how hard this whole thing went

i don't even remember what i was thinking when i made this

I had forgotten how visceral, raw and authentic this performance was. Like PJ Harvey's 4-Track Demos ... but a little dog.

PUMPING BLOOD

pre-cover album of the decade

had forgotten about all the youtube hijinks

I'm so glad we did this. And I'm SO glad I was the coordinator and got to hear all this madness as it arrived in my inbox.

was such fun and great results, Little Dog ended being kind of emotional for be now, kind of nice to hear Dottie freak out at the doorbell again

10th anniversary! So is there any chance of putting this up on the ILX bandcamp page?

Hawaiian Shirtonn

wow 10 years...

Both albums are still up on SoundCloud:

LITTLE DOG!

Having our "Little Dog" taken down from Youtube due to a copyright infringement is the highlight of my musical career

I might give this project an anniversary spin then !

It was still such a treat to put this all together and just thinking about how well it would land while everyone was going crazy waiting for the final tracks to arrive.

So is there any chance of putting this up on the ILX bandcamp page?

IIRC part of the reason why we didn't go that route was because not every track arrived in AIFF/WAV format.

I am so proud to have been part of this project
