It's the strange musical collaboration of your nightmares: the new Lou Reed/Metallica (Loutallica) cranky metal album Lulu is now streaming online, just sitting there waiting for unsuspecting ears to pulverize. Pitchfork editor Brandon Stosuy's friend Seldon Hunt summed it up perfectly: "'Wow. Sounds like Woody Allen trying to tell a joke in your ear at a Limp Bizkit concert.'" You can stream the whole Frankenstinian concoction here, enjoy the Stereogum comment party here, or just skip straight to watching the Muppets "perform" a cover of "Pumping Blood" below (via Scott at Stereogum). Beaker is Lou!
