Superlative. Sublime. Surreal. This afternoon we offer the vocalizations of Nico both with and shortly after her collaboration with the Velvet Underground. Unconventional Feminist Alternative Music from the 1960's backed by Lou Reed, John Cale, Sterling Morrison, Maureen Tucker and produced by some guy named Andy Warhol.

Very few people today know about a remarkably talented and idiosyncratic band called "The Blue Nile." While eschewing the spot light they gained the admiration and support of Peter Gabriel and Rickie Lee Jones. Today we offer tracks from "Hats", an album that earned the highest accolades from Mojo, NME, Pitchfork, Q and many other musical/cultural magazines. If you look for hidden gems to impress your audiophile friends . . . . consider this a lucky day.
