Lou Reed?

[Wood and Wire]

we'll see --- i'm getting ready for a recording session tonight, but maybe i can give it a whirl later. fun idea!

I'm thinking Drunken Monkey style kung fu for the win - perhaps a cameo...?



* man, I hadn't fully noticed that plank, or bottle, just waiting to be picked up and used as weapons..

"The first Velvet Underground album only sold 10,000 copies, but everyone who bought it formed a band." Eno

10,000 physical sales nowadays is a platinum record.

BTW, if ya's like RnR Animal, the Lou Reed Extended Versions cd is actually taken from concerts that same week.

I thought this extended versions (Lou Reed Live) were just the other songs from the same concert as RnR Animal and not a different concert?

I believe that is correct.

Fun fact 1: in the live mobile recording, they lost part of the audience track. To replace it RCA used recorded audience from a John Denver concert.

Fun fact 2: I don’t know if it’s the case on the CD, but on the LP of Lou Reed Live, at the end as the applause is fading out and heading to the runout groove, you can hear someone yell, “Lou Reed sucks!” I always loved that he left that in there.

I seem to recall that either Kiss - Alive! uses audience from The Who - Live At Leeds, or Peter Frampton - Frampton Coms Alive! uses audience from Kids - Alive!

I hope Lou Reed fans will love this - I worked on a movie with him, Debbie Harry and others and have put together a movie and book about it. Here's the press stuff to check out:

Press Release: Lost Masterpieces and Studio Secrets - Iconic Rock & Rule Artist Verne Andru Announces Definitive Behind-the-Scenes Book and Rockumentary for 2026

VANCOUVER, B.C.: Verne Andru, a lead layout artist for the 1983 cult classic Rock & Rule, has officially announced the launch of a new multimedia project: Rock & Rule: Behind the Scenes. This comprehensive deep-dive into the pinnacle of 2D animation includes a never-before-seen rockumentary and a high-end companion book featuring production art thought lost for over 40 years.

Following the fire that destroyed much of Nelvana’s original Rock & Rule physical archives, Andru - credited as Verne Andrusiek - is making his personal stash of production art available to the public for the first time. This 2026 release aims to correct long-standing industry misconceptions about the film’s troubled production and its $8 million budget, a figure that nearly bankrupted Nelvana before the film eventually found global fame as a midnight movie staple.

Heads up for Lou Reed fans, my Rock & Rule Behind The Scenes campaign is now running for 15 days ending April 20. Lou was one of the singing acts, including Debbie Harry, Cheap Trick, Iggy Pop and Earth Wind and Fire.

I got 50 pieces of original art are available (including a lot from Lou's "My Name Is Mok" song) so this is your chance to grab an actual piece of the animated cult-classic Rock & Roll, plus books, videos and more.

Lou's cool, l like things from various points in his career.


Moreso his solo stuff rather than VU.

Rock & Rule super-cut of film music featuring Cheap Trick, Debbie Harry, Lou Reed, Earth Wind Fire and Iggy Pop! It's pretty much in the order they appear in the film. A lot of people love the music and ask for a soundtrack album. Unlike most films that used "needle-drop" - that is, pre-existing music - all songs were created exclusively for the film.

I've never actually seen this - is it available anywhere?
