Cartoons Wednesday

Plus music from Lou Reed, Amanda Shires and Arthur Lee & Love.

Without much further ado, some hot political potshots. But first, two performances that take me back to growing up in 1967: Lou Reed’s newly-discovered, oddly countryish, “Heroin,” and a phenomenal Love/Arthur Lee live-at-Glastonbury from the once cult, now classic—as he predicts in the video—Forever Changes album. (Arthur was only recently out of prison and not far from death.) Plus another live version of song from Amanda Shires’ acclaimed new album. Enjoy, then subscribe, it’s still free.
