Luke Haines & Peter Buck – Beat Poetry For Survivalists (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Peter Buck and Luke Haines make for one of the more unlikely yet perfectly logical creative pairings of recent memory. Haines, the sardonic architect of Britpop's dark underbelly through The Auteurs and a string of gleefully eccentric solo records, finds a sympathetic co-conspirator in Buck, whose restless post-R.E.M. years have taken him far from Athens, Georgia and into stranger territory.
Beat Poetry For The Survivalist is the new collaboration between Peter Buck and Luke Haines. Peter Buck was the guitarist for the biggest band in the world—R.E.M. Luke Haines was the guitarist for The Auteurs. The Auteurs were not the biggest band in the world. They were pretty good though. Luke Haines also does paintings of Lou Reed. One day, Peter Buck bought one of Luke Haines’ Lou Reed paintings (for £99.00) They had never met before but decided that the fates had brought them together and they should write some songs together and make an album. Beat Poetry For The Survivalist is that album. With songs about legendary rocket scientist and occultist Jack Parsons, The Enfield Hauntings, (of 1978) a post-apocalyptic radio station that only plays Donovan records, Bigfoot, and Pol Pot.
