NPR Music has Exclusive First Listen: Leonard Cohen Hear His New Album, ‘Live in London,’ In Its Entirety.
Now 72 years old, Leonard Cohen has spent much of the past decade in solitude, exploring his own spirituality and his place in an ever-changing world. But in July of 2008, he took the stage at London’s 02 Arena and gave a stunning performance, as part of his first tour in 15 years. The concert included some of his most influential and best loved songs, including “Hallelujah,” “Bird On A Wire” and “Dance Me To The End Of Love.”
The historic performance was recorded and will be released as a two-CD set on March 31. Until then NPR Music will stream the entire album online, as an Exclusive First Listen, beginning at 11:59 p.m. March 23.
Leonard Cohen makes a great comment about a previous concert in London, “I was 60 years old, just a kid with a crazy dream”.
Listen to these two CD’s, they are absolutely great and I have the NPR Media Player spinning with them.
Update March 31, 2009.
The CD’s are released and NPR has closed this stream.

Brian D. Johnson interviews Leonard Cohen backstage at Hamilton Place. Here’s the full transcript of the interview.
I got a link at Twitter to Mac Life 4 which shows a very different office setup. The computers are OK but there are lots of other stuff around.
Alltop has been around for a while, collecting news and feeds. They label themselves as an “online magazine rack” of popular topics. Just a few of their pages: news from CNN, news from the BBC, news from the New York Times and news from Newsweek.
Alltop has now launched MyAlltop which gives you the possibility to tailor a page that matches your own preferences. I have decided to give it a try, I like the quick way to browse articles by just hovering over them in the lists.
My own version, btwendel, is a work in progress. There is more I want to add and I will probably drop some of what is there now.
Someone on Twitter posted a link to The 10 Most Unusual Places To Set Up Your Office. They range from a beautiful garden shed to a treehouse and a trailer.
Seek wisdom, not knowledge. Knowledge is of the past, Wisdom is of the future.
I am a fan of Leonard Cohen and there is a part in the Anthem lyrics that means a lot:
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in.
In other words, we need to be open to let the light in – and to let our own light out.

Perhaps another way of expressing this can also be found in the words of another poet – Kahlil Gibran:
“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.
Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain.”
This was originally posted at another (now extinct) blog of mine.
