The Yester-Daily Choice: Leonard Cohen - The Old Revolution
Sometimes I just don’t want to follow the beat of new music. Thus, The Yester-daily Choice, the rare occasion where I share a bit of my love for things old and wonderful.
I wish I could say I’m a huge Leonard Cohen fan. I’ve spent years of my life fighting with my older, sometimes smarter brother about Leonard Cohen and the level of boredom he invokes in me. Then I’m sitting in a dark basement apartment in Sunset Park, Brooklyn on Alex’s birthday (she with a broken rib wearing a silver dress) and I place the needle to this song and my whole life changes.
Congratulations Justin, you win. I still disagree that Eat The Rich by Aerosmith is the greatest album of all time though. And I still disagree with your purchase of Depeche Mode.
But this, this is amazing. Count me a lifetime fan.

Hidden jem! I love the opener and the closer, but you got me to listen to this one. Great track, not featured in “I’m Your Man,” but still great. Thanks! This is how I felt:

I saw Leonard Cohen when he came to Vancouver, in April, and I’m a pretty big fan, but my music spectrum has a wide range. Hands down one of if not the best performance I’ve ever seen.
