Lou Reed, The Killers, Matt Pinfield - Tranquilize videos
DOWNLOAD: The Velvet Underground - Rock and Roll (MP3)
Last time I posted this, it was just the song. Now here's the real video along with some behind the scenes clips where Lou Reed talks about his love for the song and the Killers...
The Killers feat. Lou Reed - Tranquilize (Official Video)
Watch the video for The Killers' new single "Tranquilize" that features rock legend Lou Reed. Directed by fashion photographer Anthony Mandler and filmed in New York's Hells Kitchen, the video is a dark and haunting effort that perfectly complements that song's raw lyrics and lurid, frantic melodies. Lou Reed is featured in the video as well.The Killers, Lou Reed & Matt Pinfield - behind the scenesThe song is taken from The Killers' "Sawdust," a collection of B-sides and other rarities that will be released next week. [Arjan Writes]
Lou Reed also recently collaborated with Bright Eyes.
Matt Pinfield was recently hanging out at R Bar (at a party he co-produced). Matt is also on the same Sirius radio station as me.
You can hear the Killers cover Joy Division on the Control soundtrack. The song plays during the movie's closing credits.

"how the mighty have fallen"
fallen? Lou Reed has proved once again that he knows how to pick projects and stay relevant.

Who applauds a great artist for "staying relevant?" It's about his music, not his visibility. And the music stinks. This is sad.

Does Pinfield still try to make 50 obscure music references in a 10 minute run on sentences without a breath?

"And the music stinks."
What is so bad about it?

This is horrible. Let's make a list of Musician artists over 50 nowadays that stay cool and don't grow into the fog of not having a clue. Sad.

What's bad about it? It's dime-a-dozen radio rock. I would like to think that Lou would want to work with bands, you know, a little more out there.

This sounds like Moody Blues to me.
And why drag out Lou Reed? isn't all this Classic Rock/Indie Legend piggybacking and apparent marketing marriages getting a bit tired and transparent? Pete Townsend and the Fratelli's. David Bowe and Arcade Fire. Lou Reed and The Killers. The Strokes/Robert Pollard. Bruce Springsteen and whoever will cover one of his songs (Hold Steady I guess is the successor there? pale.)
Anyway, how nice to see the older generation bowing to the younger for attention.

Dude, fucking pathetic. Lou was (emphasis on "was") one of my favorite artists. I really looked up to him man, but this is like watching a war-veteran grandpa doing an awful rap. You had a lot of respect for him, but you cannot get that terrible, awkward image out of your head.

Personally I think Tranquilize is a beautiful song best delivered acoustically with only Brandon on vocals.

Hey Eric, My grandpa is a WW2 veteran and does a great rap!

More proof that the Killers are one of the greatest bands on the planet. but wait more than 5 people know about them and they have actual melodies . Guess they aren't cool with the 'indie' crowd

This song is absolutely awful. It makes me wish I was deaf.
