That wipeout was before the Lou Reed guess. That comment made me go on a deep dive of early 80s album of the year threads which led to the Lou Reed guess.

What'd I miss?

I'll PIF my extra Transformer if it's Lou Reed

Things change so fast here. One day you think it's Paula Abdul, the other it's Metallica and then suddenly arrives Lou Reed.

I’m still debating whether to get the speakers corner one (which will lead to at least 4 others at pure pleasure) or just buy the standard which is supposed to be really good and @Mr Moore recommended...

I have both and will give both a listen to tell you what I say. I don't remember the standard being bad though, just that when I had the chance to grab the Speakers Corner one, I upgraded. I did the same with Patti Smith's Horses.

You can't go wrong with Speakers Corner or Pure Pleasure records.

Hope you like it. It is so good!

Because you know what they say about honey bears
When you shave off all their baby hair
You've got a hairy minded big bare bear

Oh yeah I know, my wallet is crying at the thought though...

We will see next pay cheque (he says on current pay day)

Would love to hear your perspective on Transformer. It’s a great pop album, Mick Ronson and Bowie do a great job producing and arranging it and Lou brought fringe groups to wider consciousness through these songs. Perfect Day is about heroin btw

So by that first verse am I to believe that he drank sangria in the park, went to the movies, and fed animals at the zoo all on H? I thought people on heroin didn't do much of anything.

Lou was well used to heroin. Apparently it’s very moreish

You must have never read any Burroughs!

I thought perfect day was about a day with his fiancee though.

Edit: maybe clearer to say that they aren't always on the nod. Also s/o to Jim Carroll.

 

[Dtknuckles]

moreish

Huh?
