Hello Elliott,

Thank you for the kind words.

I 100% agree regarding the weird vocals bit. It’s almost as if the doubled vocal was rendered out of phase with the main vocal after I uploaded it to YouTube (it’s like it’s a touch different in pitch and possibly a very small amount ahead or behind in time). I listened to the pre-uploaded file and it sounded fine, I think. Still, it’s something to look out for in future uploads to YouTube, and perhaps preview them before sharing. I have a couple of tunes on SoundCloud, and the weirdness isn’t there.

Thank you also for the Lou Reed comment. He is a fascinating musician. In fact, excluding any Dire Straits or Mark Knopfler albums, I think Reed’s New York is one of my favorites. He has had many prickly interviews which can be uncomfortable to watch, but I felt that Charlie Rose got the best out of him.
