Today is the DAY.

Now go buy a record or two or ten, and support your local brick & mortar Record Store.

I went to Sound Cat but they were out of the one I wanted, so I bought a Hendrix single.   Then I tried The Exchange in Sq Hill, they were also sold out of it but told me Monroeville had it, so I went there and got it.   What was the object of my desire?

I like Leonard Cohen songs as long as he isn't the one singing them.

Which part?   My record or my thoughts on your selection?   The best thing I can say about Leonard Cohen is at least he isn't Tom Waits.

Sorry....should have been more explicit.

 :o re the object of your desire.......V funny!

AFA Cohen's abilities as a crooner........I suppose it is like bourbon or single malt scotch.......an acquired taste.
It is easy to understand how both Waits & Cohen sound abrasive to many.

Actually it is the flip side that I really coveted.   See the video here...
