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!).

No Diggity remains one of hip hop’s most popular jams. At Pacific Junction Hotel bar (home of Girth Radio!) it gets dropped on the jukebox often. Actually a bit too much. There’s so many ways to cover this tune and Chet Faker does a fine job.
You’ll either be sold by the song’s description: “Crazy rare heavy afro funk from Ghana” or the drums which needlessly to say are…funky.

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.

The video description is amazing: ” thick slices of pop drenched in heavy keyboard-gravy, seasoned with 80’s soul and that signature Röyksopp-sound; it’s disco baked beyond recognition.” Done like dinner…let’s do this thing!

This sinister beat should be in a horror movie was my first thought when I first heard this Primative People remix. Or a sci-fi movie like John Carpenter doing Star Wars. Both?
