More Info

Erstwhile REM guitarist Peter Buck meets erstwhile Auteur and (apparently) Lou-Reed-Specific-Portrait-Artist Luke Haines for collaborative album of songs covering Haines' ever weird and wonderful thematic musings.

One day, Peter Buck bought one of Luke Haines' Lou Reed paintings. 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 Survivalists' 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.
