Up late with Lenny

So, while I was out buying a new office chairTrish has reclaimed her office chair for her new PhD workstation, so I needed a replacement for my book-wrapping table. Don’t ask. today I happened to hear Shelagh interviewing Leonard Cohen, mostly about his new book. (You can actually hear the interview if you can deal with Real streams. It’s worth it just to hear Lenny read “Titles” from the new book. The stream runs to seventeen and a half minutes.)

Since I’ve been home I’ve been listening to Lenny tracks. Damn that man can write.

It occurs to me that the CBC does all kinds of podcasting now. (Tod Maffin pointed this out a while back–and he’s probably one of the big reasons this happened. I have several of the feeds in my “podcatcher”.)

Looking at the feed for the digital extras for Sounds Like Canada, I see that there is an item described as:

A behind the scenes listen to an interview Shelagh Rogers had with Leonard Cohen on the occasion of five of his songs being inducted in to the Canadian Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in February.

This is actually from an interview from a few months back. I’ll have to grab that and give it a listen tomorrow. (Here’s the link to the MP3)
