I denne episode stilles skarpt på de sidste nogle og tredive år af sanger og sanskriver Lou Reeds liv, som prægedes af et kunstnerisk svingende output, selvom det blev mindst til en god håndfuld skudsikre klassikere. Lyt med når Klaus Lynggard og Henrik Queitsch spiller et bredt udvalg af den legendariske amerikansk rock'n'roller. Værter: Klaus Lynggaard og Henrik QueitschKlip: Andreas Skøtt Lenstrup Playliste: “Growing Up in Public” (Growing Up in Public, 1980)“Standing on Ceremony” (Growing Up in Public, 1980)“The Blue Mask” (The Blue Mask, 1982)“The Gun” (The Blue Mask, 1982)“Bottoming Out” (Legendary Hearts, 1983)“What Becomes a Legend Most” (New Sensations, 1984)“Fly Into the Sun” (New Sensations, 1984)“The Original Wrapper” (Mistrial, 1985)“Dirty Blvd.” (New York, 1989)“Endless Cycle” (New York, 1989)“Dime Store Mystery” (New York, 1989)Lou Reed / John Cale: “Smalltown” (Songs for Drella, 1990)Lou Reed / John Cale: “Slip Away (A Warning)” (Songs for Drella, 1990)“What's Good (The Thesis)” (Magic and Loss, 1992)“Magician (Internally)” (Magic and Loss, 1992)“NYC Man” (Set the Twilight Reeling, 1996)“Finish Line” (Set the Twilight Reeling, 1996)“Ecstasy” (Ecstasy, 2000) Lou Reed feat.The Blind Boys of Alabama: “I Wanna Know” (The Pit and the Pendulum)” (The Raven, 2003)Lou Reed & Metallica: “The View” (Lulu, 2011)  

There was nobody like Lou Reed, and there is no Sunny Song like Dirty Blvd: a black and white hellscape, described by a cynic past being surprised by any indignity - yet, still managing to extract beauty and hope out of the filthy miasma. When the Statue of Bigotry says: “give me your hungry, your tired, your poor, I'll piss on them” you know this Jeremiah is decrying the bitter truth about our present times. Still, at the very last moments of his life, Lou was doing poetic Tai Chi moves on his deathbed to ease himself into the portal of eternity.In the song, the cursed, downtrodden boy, Pedro finds a book of magic in a trashcan and dreams of flying away from the dirty blvd. For an urban portrait this grim, it's amazing how uplifting the song becomes, and as the final chorus swells and Dion jumps in to add: “fly, fly away…” my spirit is soaring.  Lou was a Rock n Roll Animal through and through, but he was also a serious artist who aspired to lift the genre to the heights of great literature. And, on Dirty Blvd., those two poles are fused and magnetized, creating a Dante-esque journey from hell to heaven.  He had gotten to the place artistically where he could say anything, in language so direct and stark, and still get you to sing along.

The LP record (from "long playing" or "long play") is a phonograph record format characterized by a speed of 33 1⁄3 rpm, having a 12- or 10-inch (30- or 25-cm) diameter, and uses the "microgroove" groove specification. Introduced by Columbia in 1948, it was soon adopted as a new standard by the entire record industry. The new product was a 12- or 10-inch (30 or 25 cm) fine-grooved disc made of PVC ("vinyl") and played with a smaller-tipped "microgroove" stylus at a speed of 33 1⁄3 rpm. Each side of a 12-inch LP could play for about 22 minutes. The average LP has about 1,500 feet (460 m; 0.28 mi) of groove on each side. The average tangential needle speed relative to the disc surface is approximately 1 mile per hour (1.6 km/h; 0.45 m/s). It travels fastest on the outside edge. - - - An LP record is one, long, groove, filled with music. But, in reality, it is “Just A Groove”, an album oriented groove.

SUPPORT ME ON PATREON WATCH MUSIC is not a GENRE VIDEOS and MORE Following along with last week's housecleaning, this week is a smaller and less significant batch of albums. Their greatest commonality is they almost exactly span what would be considered my “childhood years”. Other than that it's a damn eclectic mix of artists you'd be hard pressed to find listed in the same genre, let alone the same playlist. It's how I roll. SO … off the top of my head: Psychedelic Furs --Mirror Moves – British post-punk Romanticism at its best. And a lead vocalist who doesn't for one second compromise or try to hide his origin – i.e. that's a THICK ACCENT! They're like The Cure without any Goth leanings. “The Ghost In You” and “Heaven” are forever classics. --Midnight to Midnight – It made me slightly sad, because it was obvious they were shooting for more commercialism. It worked, with “Heartbreak Beat” their highest charting single in the US. But it lacked the quirky ambient heart of their previous works. Even Richard Butler agreed. They'd pump out two more albums before disbanding, after which Butler formed the fairly great Love Spit Love. BUT NOW the Furs are back with their first album since 1991, and what I've heard of it so far has been great. Lou Reed --Walk on the Wild Side – The Best of Lou Reed – You can't hate or disrespect Lou Reed. His work with Velvet Underground alone merits legend status. THEN you have this collection, which showed the genius we all now know him to be. And this only covers up to 1976! --New York – This album is what made me buy the above album. I needed to know more about this dude who sounded like a New York version of Bob Dylan. I can only take his voice for about an album or so, so he's not one of my top faves. But I loved this album to death, especially the single “Dirty Blvd.” The don't-give-a-shit vocals paired with sheer poetry show what an individual genius he was. It's dumb that he's dead. Talking Heads --Remain in Light – TH are slightly left field for me in terms of taste. Some of their stuff I fall over for. Others I find oddly removed from passion. But through no fault of theirs. This album will always be awesome because it was made during my all-time favorite era of production values, ca. 1978-82ish. --Little Creatures – It sucks to say this, but I preferred TH when they were shooting for commercialism, because they retained all their grit and quirkiness, but made an effort to really connect. This album and their next one (True Stories) were probably the high mark of that. The first and last tracks on here are golden. Yes --The Yes Album – Yes was the best prog rock band. Critics may give that title to Genesis, and I 100% get why. But pound for pound, Yes was more consistent. Sure, they dipped into overindulgence in the mid-late 1970s, but what prog band didn't. I frankly find some of early Genesis unlistenable. But that's HIGHLY SUBJECTIVE, and for two reasons: A. I prefer Jon Anderson's voice to early Peter Gabriel (he'd get way more mellifluous as he aged); and B. I'm a Romantic, and while Genesis had their brief dabblings in Romanticism once Phil Collins took the helm, Yes was Romantic from start to finish. And their vocal harmonies kicked way more ass. --Classic Yes – It's weird this album existed, because it's NOT a greatest hits album, and it's NOT a to-date career retrospective. It's kind of the perfect prog compilation for those reasons, and the fact that Chris Squire compiled the selections explains pretty much everything. And makes it awesome. Are you into any of these artists? Would you listen to the playlist I created? Could you create an even more disjointed playlist?

Emerald staffers Craig Wright, Sararosa Davies and Emerson Malone discuss the response on campus and the difference between hope and rage in music, from the all-American sounds of Lou Reed and Simon and Garfunkel to the Canadian industrial noise-rock band Holy Fuck, whose hometown of Toronto is a likely destination for anyone baffled by the events of Tuesday night.
