yesterday, i bought a double cd set of 2 Lou Reed albums: one was the original of "Lou Reed" (his firt solo album, the middle ground between Velvets and Transformer, with totally different versions of Berlin, Ocean, Lisa Says, I Can't Stand It... it is really incredible), along with "Tranfsormer", with the added extras of acoustic versions of "Hangin' Round" and "Perfect Day"

on Tuesday, Bluenote issues the new Dr. John, an album of Johnny Mercer covers, titled "Mercenary". I can't wait!
