I like Jazz Police. It's disconcertingly kitschy but harmonically interesting (that's what she said).

i've been listening on shuffle a lot too. previously i kind of settled in on new skin through recent songs as my favorite period but so much of the other stuff has resonated more this time. "here it is" from ten new songs blew me away this morning

No, Jazz Police is not great, it's shit.

The only song I don't like on I'm Your Man is the title track, as it is just too musically slight.

I've heard it once. I skip it.
I'm a fan of Jazz Police, it's very silly, but I'm cool with that

For a song that's basically an in-joke between Cohen and the band it's a lot of fun. Guessing it did not take as long to write as hallelujah

Although I find it funny to think of him writing 80 verses

Did anyone ever edit together all extant verses, like on Youtube for instance?

My favorite Leonard Cohen story is the one that I think came from Rufus Wainwright. Where he goes to his apartment to meet before a collaboration, and Leonard Cohen is there basically in his underwear. He greets him, excuses himself for a few minutes, then comes back in a perfectly tailored suit.

anyone have a quote from Cohen regarding the musical choices he made (sparse, digital, dubbed) from ~Various Position onwards?
this SOS article is interesting enough but I'm curious to know what motivated him and what kind of band sounds he likes http://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/inside-track-leonard-cohen-slow

xpost to Josh In Chicago: my favourite detail in the Rufus Wainwright story is that Cohen was apparently chewing up sausages and spitting them out to feed to a baby bird he had rescued.
