Show Notes

LOU REED GOES INSTRUMENTAL! The third week of “All Instrumental April” we invite Mhyk Monroe (Grief Ritual, FATHERS) to join us in discussing what may just be a double album of Lou Reed’s guitar feeding back. Is this music? If it is, is it metal? If it’s not, is it a machine? How much time and effort would you put into trolling your record company? Is noise a genre of music, or the opposite of music? Or is silence the opposite of music? How influential can an album be if no one is able to listen to it? What percentage of people who claim to love this album have actually listened to it all the way through? Is this good to listen to while doing yoga? Or welding? Or driving unwanted patrons out of your bar at closing time? Just how sincere is Lou here? We actually wade all the way through all four sides of the same coin on this week’s episode of Detours and Outliers.
