The Show: Between the viaducts of your dream

Gemma Syme filling in. Says Gemma:

Isn’t Astral Weeks AMAZING? The whole album is insanely beautiful. I remember reading a Lester Bangs book and he did a huge spiel about the album, so I remember picking it up and listening to the whole thing and being blown away. Madame George is also one of my favs.
