Sonderbarer Mittwoch

I am keeping this brief because I want to take up some of your time. Recently, Mr. Popkoff let me listen to the album "Berlin" by Lou Reed. This was a real treat by a true master. Lou was in top form on that album. The piano, the string arrangements, and his delivery break your heart with their tragic beauty.

I found some videos on Youtube that some fan made...weird, but still beautiful. I also found period Lou Reed singing "Berlin" with John Cale-again heartbreaking. Enjoy!
