Two Bits of Business on the Canadian Male Voice.
First.
Did you get this collection of Leonard Cohen tracks from me? I ask because I never knew and would probably not have guessed that you were a Leonard Cohen fan. No deep analysis there, I just didn't think you were a fan. And if this is in fact some cross-fertilization, then you'll have to agree that these touch points seem very funny - sort of like mini-cross overs in the Ol' Blitzeroo landscape. Lord knows you'll have a Crowded House collection to look forward to.
Second.
Sometimes the best part of blitzing is digging into a piece of a song that you've never heard or noticed before. For me, it was Famous Blue Raincoat, a track that I've heard zillions of times. It was on this pass-through, for the first time, that I really became aware of the breathing on the track. Starting the song as soon as I pulled out of the parking lot at work, I became aware of someone - a woman, actually - breathing behind me. For a good half second it really startled me, until I realized that it was simply the background singer (Jennifer Warnes?) on the song, taking air between the "do-dum dum's."
Amazing thing to discover.

I know I took some of this from your collection, but I'm not sure how much. You're right - I'm not exactly a huge Cohen fan, but for some reason I loved "The Future". John had it and I listened to it so much I got my own copy from Columbia House. So, I know I took the hits from you, but do you also have "The Future"? Or did I get those from myself?
