Songs for Humankind

Anyone who knows me knows that, on any given night, you can more than likely find me rounding up the day in front of a self portrait I've drawn that night, in tears, listening to "Songs for Drella" by Lou Reed and John Cale. Some albums fall in and out of vogue throughout the years, but since college, something like 15 years ago, I've only been consistently satisfied listening to Verdi, Puccini, and the Velvet Underground while painting. This album is a veritable bible. It holds enough wisdom and instruction to lead an entire human life. If you don't know it, buy it now. If you don't have the means tell me and I will try to get you a copy.
