Such a heavy heart over the passing of Lou Reed — Lau was raised listening to him and the Velvet Underground and his songs are on constant rotation at Recspec HQ. He was also someone so crucial to the discovery and popularity of two of our favorite musicians: Antony and Little Jimmy Scott. Such a brilliant and beautiful mind, musician, and man.

Linger on, Lou.

If I could make the world as pure
and strange as what I see
I’d put you in a mirror
I’d put in front of me
