Lou Reed on Radio Cafe

July 13th, 2008 by Steve Bowbrick

This is great—and a real find. I’ve never heard Radio Cafe before. I learn that it’s a daily magazine show on BBC Radio Scotland, in this case presented by Janice Forsyth. Forsyth interviews Lou Reed, perhaps the world’s most prickly interviewee, and the show exposes a lot of process (the booking of taxis, some entertaining studio awkwardness and Forsyth’s nervous inner dialogue) to illustrate the difficulty of pinning the legend down. A little gem (/programmes, MP3).
