SIRIUS listeners can expect to hear the most eclectic mix of music
found anywhere on Lou Reed's New York Shuffle -- running the gamut from
jazz to vintage rock, and everything in-between. Reed will co-host the show
with music producer Hal Willner, who recently collaborated with Reed on the
concert film Berlin.
Lou Reed said, "For years, I've always been a fan of eclectic radio,
such as FM radio in the past when you could hear stations play widely
divergent music, ranging from rock to country to jazz to opera. I loved the
days when DJs who did their own programming set the bar high. I learned
from these DJs and it's a delight, with my friend Hal Willner, to do this
type of radio today on SIRIUS. We will try to bring SIRIUS' listeners audio
from all parts of the world that covers the whole musical spectrum."
"For four decades, Lou Reed has been at the forefront of music
innovation," said Scott Greenstein, President of Entertainment and Sports
for SIRIUS. "We are proud to have a singular talent like Lou join us, and
to have SIRIUS continue to grow as a home for creative freedom on the
radio."
Reed joins fellow rockers and recording artists such as David Johansen,
"Little Steven" Van Zandt, Mojo Nixon, Steve Earle, Marky Ramone and Fred
Schneider, whose shows on SIRIUS represent both another aspect of their
artistic expression and some of the most diverse and creative radio being
broadcast today.
In the 1960s, Lou Reed led the Velvet Underground as the antidote to
the counterculture hippies of the time. Produced by Andy Warhol, they
became a band with an avante-garde vision beyond the realms of popular
music. In addition to Reed's success as part of the Velvet Underground, he
scored a major solo hit with his gritty urban anthem "Walk on the Wild
Side" and has released over 20 solo albums since 1972. Lou Reed's talents
were recognized in 1996 when the Velvet Underground was inducted into the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. In 2006, he played a series of now legendary
shows at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn, on a stage designed by the
painter Julian Schnabel. Reed's performance was recorded live and released
as a film by Schnabel in 2008. Lou Reed most recently collaborated with The
Killers on the alternative rock hit, "Tranquilize."
Hal Willner is one of the most well-regarded experimental producers in
music today, tapping into a wide-ranging field of music genres that
includes rock and jazz, pop and experimental. In addition to Lou Reed,
Willner has produced albums for Marianne Faithfull, Bill Frisell, Gavin
Friday, Lucinda Williams, Laurie Anderson, William S. Burroughs and Allen
Ginsberg, among others.
Lou Reed's New York Shuffle will air on SIRIUS Disorder, Saturdays at 6
pm and rebroadcast Sundays at 12 noon and Mondays at 4:00 pm (all times
Eastern).
