A 2019 Music Book of the Year, THE TIMES Out of print for several
years, a comprehensive volume of Lou Reed's lyrics with brand new
introductions, now updated in a new text design to include the
lyrics from his final album with Metallica, Lulu. Through his many
incarnations-from proto punk to glam rocker to elder statesman of
the avant garde Lou Reed's work has maintained an undeniable
vividness and raw beauty, fueled by precise character studies and
rendered with an admirable shot of moral ambiguity. Beginning with
his formative days in the Velvet Underground and continuing through
his remarkable solo albums like Transformer, Berlin, and New York,
Doin' The Things We Want To is crucial to an appreciation of Lou
Reed, not only as a consummate underground musician, but as one of
the truly significant visionary lyricists of the rock n' roll era.
Containing a body of work that spans more than six decades, this is
a monument to the literary qualities of an American original.

Live concert from the American folk blues singer celebrating three
decades in the music business. Recorded in New York's Madison

In the years following America's victory over Germany and Japan,
the heady exhilaration of winning the war begins to fade in
post-war Pittsburgh. The spewing filth of the steel mills and the
stinging aftermath of the war take their toll on the Donatti
family. Better jobs await them in California, and the family plans
to head west.
Ten-year-old Marianne isn't happy about leaving her home, and
she likes it even less when she and her family move into her
grandmother's house for six months before heading to California.
From the start, Marianne dislikes the new street and the mean kids
on it. But at her new school, she finds a kindred spirit with the
neighborhood whipping boy, Hurkey Polowski, and the two develop a
deep friendship.
Even so, Marianne feels torn between acceptance by the other
kids and loyalty to Hurkey. She finds solace with Hurkey's mother,
Sophie, who is struggling with her husband's change of character
since his return from the war. When tragedy strikes, however,
Marianne and Sophie will need each other more than ever before.
A window into post-war America, Good-Bye, Pittsburgh is a moving
tale of friendship, loyalty, and shattered dreams.

Live stage performance of Lou Reed's 1973 album, recorded at St.
Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, New York over five nights in 2007.
When it was first released, 'Berlin', Reed's third solo outing,
received a critical mauling, especially since it followed his
earlier triumph, 'Transformer', with its hit single 'Walk On The
Wild Side'. 'Berlin' is a tragic rock opera which deals with the
drug-addled relationship of a doomed couple, and all its attendant
depression and angst. The use of orchestral arrangements, horn
sections and top session musicians alienated a large section of
Reed's fanbase on release. However, over time the album has been
re-evaluated, and is now regarded as one of Reed's best solo works,
ranking 344 on 'Rolling Stone' magazine's 500 greatest albums of
all-time.
