Too stoned to realize he’d forgotten his bat, Reed had to be escorted off the field at the Sire Records All-Star Softball fundraiser. Al Jorgeson was called upon to pinch hit.
This week our good friends at Pitchfork do, for us, the work of presenting Lou Reed…As His Music Was Meant to Sound. Enjoy!
MySpace…as it was meant to be experienced!

A secret poem recorded by the legendary singer Jim Morrison shortly before he died is to be released as a song to raise awareness of climate change…
Dan Morrell, the founder of Global Cool, said Morrison’s lyrics give an eerie warning of the risks of global warming. He said the song – which features the chorus “Just try to stop us, we’re going to love” – is written from the perspective of an angel sent to Earth to advise the human race about the perils they face. Mr Morrell said: “It’s very strange to hear this thing recorded more than 30 years ago that seems so relevant to the environmental challenge we face.”

The Modfather to revisit his back catalog on US soil. Would you be most likely to save your bathroom break for the second or third night?
NEW YORK (Billboard) – Most people reach a point in their career where they just need a clean break, a chance to try something new and spread their wings. That’s exactly where Paul Weller was in 1982, when he shut the door on the Jam, a U.K. phenomenon that was finally making inroads in the States with the single “Town Called Malice.”
Twenty-five years later, Weller is returning to the Jam canon for two immediately sold-out stands in New York and Los Angeles that mark the 30th anniversary of the Jam’s debut album, “In the City.” In both cities, he is playing three shows. On the first night, he’s playing an entire Jam set, with the second dedicated to his post-Jam act the Style Council and the third to his solo catalogue.
