Infamous Lou Reed ‘Metal Machine Music’ album gets reimagined by indie stars (Episode 946)

Car Con Carne

“Metal Machine Muzak” is a reimagining of Lou Reed’s infamous Metal Machine Music album, curated and released by Dave Gebroe, creator and host of the Discograffiti podcast.

Dave and “Metal Machine Muzak” contributor Lou Barlow (Folk Implosion, Sebadoh, Dinosaur Jr.) join me to talk about the tribute (available May 3, only on the Discograffiti Patreon - http://www.patreon.com/discograffiti).

Also included on the tribute: Cory Hanson (Wand), Mark Robinson (Unrest, Teenbeat Records founder) and W Cullen Hart (Olivia Tremor Control, co-founder Elephant 6 Recording Company).

I start with the obvious question: “Is ‘Metal Machine Music’... good?”

Music fans will love this episode. Dave’s a music obsessive and student of rock and roll. Lou Barlow is nothing short of an indie rock legend. Our hour-long conversation absolutely flew by.
