The only thing less necessary than a Lou Reed/Metallica collaboration is the inevitable Klosterman article about it*, but he does get off some good lines ("Your allusion to Basquiat's middle period was very apt, Lars") and the first footnote is funny and the Tebow kicker is nice too.
*Strangely enough, a blog post about the inessential article about the inessential record is itself essential. It's like multiplying negatives. Also, you get eight minutes of bliss and a video bonus in my favorite style:
Lou Reed & Metallica? Oh dear. A little piece of my youthful self just died.
