Video: Lou Reed Goes Infomercial

We may never know why Lou Reed didn't call his iPhone app: Lou Read, but at least now we know how he keeps himself busy these days. When not pre-occupied fighting the tower of garbage coming to his neighborhood, the former Velvet Underground legend is finding new ways to hock his app (which basically just puts your contacts in a large/easy-to-read Helvetica Neue type). This time he's taken to the YouTubes with a new infomercial in which he dons oversized, neon sunglasses.
