I recently read an interview with Lou Reed. He was saying he is trying to get Metal Machine Music released on CD, but the record company won't do it. He is thinking of funding it himself. I had it on vinyl and thought that Lou must have owed the record company an album and that he didn't have one ready so he just went into the studio, turned all the machines on and recorded it. Turns out he is proud of it for some reason. I thought it was complete crap.
