There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I saw Leonard Cohen last night, and he is a god among men. He was in fine voice (seriously), and his band were amazing, as were his back up singers. His version of Hallelujah made the crowd jump up for a standing O. (Not the only one last night, but the only one for a specific song.) Who By Fire and First We Take Manhattan were my other favourites.

First Set

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Listening to Portishead's Third and suddenly hankering for a version of "Glory Box" that I'd found on Napster way back and have since lost, and I can't find the song again. It's not the live version (Roseland NYC) and it's not the original from Dummy. It was more hard and aggressive. Anyone know of which I speak and where to find it?!

I think that's one of the versions on the "Glory Box" ep. I have it, but I don't really know how to get things from one of my CDs to someone else. I'd need somebody to walk me through the process. Not terribly tech saavy, I'm afraid (so, of course, I work in IT).

Give Third a few more spins. It's a slow grower for sure, but once it gets its hooks in (and it does have hooks), it's a keeper.

Looking at the Leonard Cohen song list makes me wonder how his really old songs sound with his voice the way it is now (I'm thinking specifically of So Long, Marianne, which is my favorite song of the first album).

Love love LOVE First We Take Manhattan!

I have to say, his voice sounded better than I thought, based on clips I've seen of him live. However, So Long Marianne had been rearranged (I can't describe quite how--It had a bit of a swing to it.) and I thought it was the weakest song of the night. But that maybe because it actually took me about 30-45 to recognize it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Oh, man, Sue, I am so incredibly jealous of you. Amazing.

One of the highlights of my concert-going life was when Tori Amos covered "Famous Blue Raincoat" at the show I saw back in 1996.

He's playing in town for three more nights. I kind of wish I had tickets to them all.

I have that version! It's on the Tower of Song tribute album.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It's on the Tower of Song tribute album.

Ooh. I had that on cassette. Maybe I still do. But I'll have to get it from iTunes or buy the CD.

::makes mental note::

eta: I saw Cohen in Mpls sometime around 1993-ish. It was weird - the audience would applaud certain lines in his songs. Oh, amazing concert, btw.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Sue, I am so green right now, you could call me Kermit.

It's really, really simple! Do you have iTunes? Windows Media Player? MusicMatch Jukebox? RealPlayer? Any number of programs will rip a CD for you. Hell, if you insert the CD into your computer, Windows will likely suggest how to rip it.

No, that part I can handle; it's getting it from there to somewhere else. I can burn a disk easy enough, but I've never done any file-sharing type activities.

Hee. Since I have a Mac, that's unlikely.
