Jas shares some of her favourite Lou Reed and Velvet Underground records - recorded on what would have been Lou Reed's 81st birthday March 2, and to also celebrate John Cale's 81 st birthday March 9th.
Their music had a profound effect on me as a teen so I wanted to honour that with a dedicated show.
