Another Friday (finally), another installment of “You Pick It.” This week we focus on Lou Reed’s classic “Pale Blue Eyes.” Alejandro Escovedo kicks us off with a spectacular live version recorded in Paris. REM picks up the gauntlet and passes it on to Patti Smith and the Kills. We get a sneak peek of Joseph Arthur rehearsing the song for a 2008 SXSW appearance before closing out with a special performance by Pete Townshend and Lou Reed.
