It’s a podcast of extraordinary
magnitude as Arianne joins Kevin and Mike for a meticulous
dissection of the 2011 album Lulu. This controversial collab
between Lou Reed and Metallica has garnered voluminous quantities
of scorn and derision in the decade since its release, but our
troika revisits the work from our own unique perspectives, sharing
our respective interpretations of every facet of this avant-garde
objet d'art. From Frank Wedekind to Kazimir Malevich and
from crust punk to Jonathan Coulton, this episode pulls together
the spheres of history, literature, and music to determine whether
Lulu is a sporting case of jinkies and zoinks, or a caustic
concoction of milk and Red Bull.
