about
Peter Buck was, at some point, the guitarist for the biggest band in the world: R.E.M.. Luke Haines was the guitarist for The Auteurs, who were not the biggest band in the world at any point. Luke Haines also does paintings of Lou Reed. One day Peter Buck bought one of Luke's 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 (2020) was that album. Released by Cherry Red, it featured songs about legendary rocket scientist and occultist Jack Parsons, The Enfield Hauntings (1978), Bigfoot, Pol Pot and a post-apocalyptic radio station that only plays Donovan records. Crazy stuff. More of it appeared on the albums: All The Kids Are Super Bummed Out (2022) and Going Down To The River... To Blow My Mind (2025), completing their self-proclaimed 'psychiatric trilogy'.
