This show was dedicated to the music and memory of Lou Reed...it's very difficult to sum up the work of such a complex and multi faceted artist in a few minutes...Rather to reflect on his influence across the music industry. The connections in this week's show then are generally almost all connected back to him or aspects of his career in some way or another...

Connections
Welcome to Connections, the programme that brings music together like a game of dominoes. The simple rule is that each song played on the show has to 'connect' to the next one in some way...The science stops there...
You can listen to the programme LIVE at www.acikradyo.co.tr and on good old fashioned radio on 94.9FM in the Istanbul area at 17:00 Istanbul time every Saturday.
