For my money The Bells is one one of Lou's finest albums, and Families one of the strongest tracks on it. Well worth a listen:

There now follows a party election broadcast, I'm sure Nigel Farage will love the stockings and jackboots:
Then here's some Lou Reed, which is pure class. I'm sure Lou forgives me for heckling a few years back at the then Hammersmith Odeon. I forgive him for telling me to get out, which I did. Here's Pale Blue Eyes :
