I have the classical station on the radio, Azz. But they're doing the weather now as I type this...

Fancied something uplifting, so I've been blasting my ears with the final choral section of Mahler's 8th Symphony - awesome!

Re: What are you listening to right now?

I know what I won't be listening to tonight and thats Leonard Cohen on BBC 4. My God what a man for moaning, I remember one commentator describe his new album (at the time) as 'Leonard Cohen's music to commit suicide by'. I just got back from the Doc with a clean slate and I'm in great form and I don't want him to spoil it, I think I'll put on my Fats Domino CD instead.

Thank you so much for mentioning the Leonard Cohen programme - I would have missed it otherwise. It was utterly brilliant! I guess it's horses for courses. Personally, when I am feeling depressed, happy music would make me totally suicidal. Serious stuff like Cohen's makes me realise that we are all in the same boat and no matter how tough things are, someone else has been there before and got through it.
Apart from that, Cohen is a lyrical genius and the concert showed that despite his age, he is still an amazing performer.
His performance of "Hallelujah" was sublime!

I've been a fan of his poetry since since reading "Flowers for Hitler" in the early '60's and of his music since I bought his first Album, "Songs of Leonard Cohen" in 1967. I first saw him live in 1972 at the Albert Hall.

Thanks again! - not only for the Cohen programme, but for a couple of other BBC4 highlights last night that I would have missed if not for your post - John Martyn singing "May You Never" as a very young man for one.

I'm very glad you enjoyed it Mickb, actually my Brother in London is a big fan and we have a great slagging match anytime Cohen is mentioned, but I could never take to him, cheers.
