On November 7, 2016 we lost Leonard Cohen.

The world is poorer when we lose poets (Unfathomably we lost Bowie and Cohen in one year; I feel defenseless). Rufus Wainwright is synonymous with Hallelujah (so many fantastic covers really but Rufus gives Hallelujah pathos, Leonard gives it weight because dude had weight, poets…yo). Yet rather than the traditional cover…this is Rufus’ Hallelujah with 1,500 singers. Woah. Choir! Choir! Choir! is a venerable Toronto institution. If you’re ever in town join em; that’s the way it works: show up and sing…lend your voice to the choir.

Finally!! We all have these beats…songs that are faint memories and we don’t have enough to google. (How amazing would google become if you could hum or sing a song and it would be like…oh! I know that one here ya go! Here’s to the brave future we all want to occupy!).

Documentaries ain’t known for their excellent soundtracks. When The Garden Was Eden an ESPN 30 for 30 is an outlier. Directed by Michael Rapaport who is quintessentially New York City much like Daptone Records this track was an ideal match for a documentary on the last championship the New York Knicks won. It remains to be been seen what Phil Jackson can do and who the Knicks will become.

Jay who runs the kitchen at Pacific Junction Hotel bar says to me…have you heard Kara’s new song? He fires up it up on his laptop like a proud Dad. Kara is one of us…she worked at Pacific Junction Hotel bar and with Errors she is clearly well on her way! Jay and I high fived: it’s so cool to see this happening.
