I'm feelin' kind of sporty just listening to it.
As you should! My favourite is "Night of the Wolverine", for the wordplay. "I'm Not Afraid To Be Heavy" is surprisingly affecting. (And the Serge Gainsbourg tribute is kind of hilarious.)
Slap my hand now!

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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Huh. I just checked my iTunes and I had another song by him on a Matador records compilation: "You Could Be Mine."

I am sad. I heard a song that I'm pretty sure is a new Tool song playing through somebody's open car window a they drove by. It was definitely Maynard singing, and it sounded like Tool (not APC or Pucifer), but I hadn't heard it before. I know they are in the studio recording a new album, but the internet gives me no love. Actually, it gives me a bunch of YouTube and other posts claiming to be the new song, but are in fact a bunch of different lying Tool-wannabe's claiming to be the new Tool single to drive up the page hits. At least one of them is in fact a rickroll (bastards).

Her daughter by way of Fred "Sonic" Smith, one of the greatest badass guitar wranglers in rock and roll history! That kid's got better bloodlines than anybody that isn't Chrissie Hynde's daughter, Natalie, whose father is Ray Davies.

And the wacky thing about that (among many) is that Lorca is the daughter of Cohen and the Suzanne that he wrote the song about.
That poor child is destined to have a crazy, superbly fucked up romantic history.

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

Nope. Different Suzanne.

Well, you'd know.
I still maintain this child is doomed to a life of high romantic adventure.
