Musical equipment from the collection of the late Lou Reed is now up for auction on eBay. From keyboards to rack effects to really expensive power supplies, you can now own a personal reminder of the greatness you will never, ever achieve. Even better, new items will be popping up for auction over the next couple weeks (some even customized by the man himself), and New York residents that strut around these streets just like Lou used to are eligible for some exclusive local auctions.
Man, I can only imagine the inspiration that could come from owning one of these items — serenade your apartment complex with a 40-minute rendition of “Sister Ray”! Create your own Metal Machine Music, and when your neighbors knock on your door, give them a hearty “Fuck you! I’m running these 16 amps through Lou Reed’s power supply!” followed by some inevitable high-fives.
I don’t have any money, so you bangin’ benefactors can go live out those dreams for me and know that all auction proceeds go toward the upcoming Lou Reed Archive. Read the official announcement on Reed’s Facebook, and please, grab that shit before Lana Del Rey does.
