Couldn't agree with you more, Phillip.

My player has been a total 'Cohen-only zone' since Leonard's first visit here during the last world tour. I play it in the car regardless of how long or short the trip is - and I can now play Cohen at work since I 'converted' everyone in the office.

Old Ideas is the favourite with everyone at work - but my player is set to play the albums in order from 'Songs of' - through to 'Old ideas' - including all the lives and bests in date of release order.

Sometimes I listen to the earlier ones, sometimes the more recent - and I often feel like listening to the live concert sound.


Absolutely no covers allowed on MY player!

My son's girlfriend just asked if I had ever heard of pandora.com . I had not.

Since we no longer have this CBC station :cry: , if you go to pandora.com and then type in Leonard Cohen, you will hear an array of his music, others singing his music (right now Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah'), and other artists they consider similar to LC.

Might fill the void left by CBC's removal of the original LC all the time station.

Edit - Something for everyone - Dylan right now for you, Ken.

You're right, but Pandora works only in the US.

Roman,

Will jango.com work for you? Only this one you can set how wide a variety of other artists you want to hear.

Thanks, Mary. I'm a Last.fm subscriber + have a lot of music in digital and analog formats, so that's not a problem for me personally.
Just a note for other non-American users ;-)

P.S.: Jango seems to work.
