Have you heard about this? Host of the Discograffiti podcast, Dave Gebroe, asked 4 musicians (Mark Robinson, Cory Hanson, W. Cullen Hart, and myself) to contribute a 16 minute 1 second ‘ambient’ piece in tribute to Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music L.P.! The album is available >now< as a digital download and <soon> as a double vinyl L.P.. On the new RAW Tiny Tunes Tuesday show I play Adelle an excerpt of my collage/poem and we chat away.
I was hoping Adelle could read some of her recently excavated poetry as well, but we just didn’t have the time! We cap our bonus music-related episodes at about 15 minutes. Why? Just because. We’ll be back later this week and perhaps she’ll grace our ears with her incendiary high school poetry and maybe I’ll stick some ambient rumblings behind that too.
In the meantime feast on these hot links to all things Metal Machine Muzak

You can hear me blabbing about it HERE and g’wan check Dave’s other incredibly in-depth, exhaustively researched, interviews and discussions. I’m not sure I’ve ever met a more passionate all-kinds-of-music fan. His breathless descriptions and articulate tangents are the most entertaining music journalism you’ve never read. -And- he’s not afraid to tell famous people why some of their albums suck, to their faces! It’s pretty funny.
