Lou Reed

Quick update to Weekend Multimedia: two new songs by Lou Reed, "Gravity" and "Safety Zone", which are "inspired by the soon-to-be released film NANKING--a powerful and relevant documentary that tells the story of the Japanese invasion of Nanking, China, in the early days of World War II." I particularly like the latter tune - sounds like it came out of his New York and Magic and Loss era, my favorite period of Reed's long and illustrious career.
