Old Jan 14th, 2004, 01:18 AM        Transformer DVD (Lou Reed, not action figures)
Got it today after ordering it the 22nd at Borders. Long wait.

But it's good.

IF you've read alot about Reed, you can basically fill in waht people are going to say lot of the time. Still, I thought it was great to see it in video. Plus there's alot of cool studio shit going on, with them showing how instruments were mixed, etc. You get to see pictures of Candy Darling. She could definetley pass for a chick.

Also, the DVD presents a seldom mentioned side of Reed: humble. They show a bunch of clips of him listening to the Tranformer stuff, commentng, isn;t that amazing, Bowie was a genius doing this. He really just gushes about the excellet people here worked with. Pretty cool. It runs over 2 hours with all the bonus material, I'd say it was worth 20 bucks. Plus, I had a gift certificate.

PS. Lotta stuff about how Reed writes songs, and there's alotta stuff about the Velvets. Basically, anyone who likes Reeds work shouldn't be dissapointed.
