149. W. CULLEN HART ON LOU REED’S METAL MACHINE MUSIC (Discograffiti, the music obsessives’ podcast)

Olivia Tremor Control and Circulatory System maximalist pop genius W. Cullen Hart explains his relationship with Lou Reed’s deafeningly assaultive 1975 double-LP Metal Machine Music in this special, bite-sized episode, one in a series of 8 we’re rolling out over the next two weeks that celebrates the May 3rd drop of Discograffiti’s first official music release, our ambient reimagining METAL MACHINE MUZAK.

True to the original, Discograffiti creator/host Dave Gebroe’s compilation features four long-form tracks, each clocking in at 16 minutes and 1 second, by four indie-rock visionaries: LOU BARLOW (Dinosaur Jr, Sebadoh), CORY HANSON (Wand), W. CULLEN HART (The Olivia Tremor Control) and MARK ROBINSON (Unrest).

METAL MACHINE MUZAK will be available in two different configurations: digital-only or double vinyl plus digital. The double-LP gatefold configuration will be pressed on 180-gram colored vinyl, and is limited to an exclusive numbered run of 300 copies, only 90 of which will be available for purchase online.

METAL MACHINE MUZAK was curated and released by Dave Gebroe, creator and host of the music obsessive’s podcast, Discograffiti. Both are available online ONLY on The Discograffiti Podcast's Patreon Record Shop. They will not be on streaming.
