Stupefied: The Kate Simon Playlist

Loaded: Lou Reed & John Cale at Lou's house in New York, Christmas 1977 - by Kate Simon

Kate Simon by Sara Driver

This week's Stupefied contributor is no stranger to Stupefaction readers. Its a Christmas gift (along with the incredible shot of Lou & John above) from master photographer Kate Simon who says, "This is no haphazard list: all of these were carefully chosen, and created as an inspiration for Stupefaction enthusiasts on Christmas Day."

In the new year, we'll be looking out for a collaboration between Kate and Gillian McCain (of Please Kill Me-fame), as well as a couple of other items of note that I'll be sure to mention here when they happen.

All I can say is thank you Kate, and thanks to everyone who takes a moment out of their day to stop by Stupefaction. Its truly a labor of love.
