Notaro" Subject: Leonard Cohen film From Rolling Stone: The Partisans Performances mostly killer, interviews filler, in Leonard Cohen doc Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man Directed by Lian Lunson About two-thirds into this rather grating hagiography, U2's Bono truncates his spew of superlatives, makes his best cut-the-crap face, and asks if we can "get serious" for a moment. Get serious? This Last Waltzlike doc is almost funereal, full of reverent banalities spliced between overly folksy takes on melancholic Leonard Cohen bombshells. At the film's core is the "Came So Far for Beauty" Cohen tribute concert held last year in Sydney, for which producer Hal Willner organized a lineup of musicians to interpret Cohen's songs. Always loving but at times soporific, these renditions range from a dull Beth Orton version of "Sisters of Mercy" to an unironically anthemic "Anthem" by Julie Christensen and Perla Batalla. Kate and Anna McGarrigle can usually be counted on for loopy banter, but aside from breezy-bitchy Rufus Wainwright, who also delivers a musical highlight with "Chelsea Hotel 2," the chatty levity is left to the sly and spry old rumbler himself. Oddly, director Lian Lunson sabotages even Cohen's bits with ominous whooshes and psycho-synth tones. Cohen so doesn't need to be edged toward eerie. He projects creepy poet poon-hound Dionysian-Buddhist tricksiness all by himself. These spooky sonics skew Cohen's engaging account of his years spent in seclusion as an ordained Mt. Baldy monk. Longtime fans won't need the Edge's Moses comparisons to convince them that Cohen is indeed their man. And for newcomers, full performances from Sydney might make a better introduction than Nick Cave saying the usual stuff about Songs of Love and Hate making his teenage self feel cool. Performance-wise, Antony's withering "If It Be Your Will" simply kills, though Willner might have squashed the distracting background vocals. Teddy Thompson proves again that while he carries a pretty tune, he didn't inherit his parents' compelling vocal serration. Martha Wainwright does "The Traitor" justice, even if Rufus still petulantly skirts the key rhyme in his oft performed cover of "Hallelujah." But as you might suspect, with U2 behind him in a tight cabaret, Cohen, his sad eyes dancing and his growl coyly teasing, dusts 'em all with the graveyard smash "Tower of Song." ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 05:54:50 -0700 (PDT) From: Kerry Subject: Re: This just in...

It's out of print at this site for some reason, but readily available at Amazon. Haven't read it, so can't recommend it one way or the other. Anyone read it? Jerry, is it at the library yet?

I'm extrapolating from stand / stood, understand / understood, withstand / withstood, obviously. >>> Ahhhh. And now you've hit the crux of why everything in the USA now has to be posted in three languages: English, Spanish and Arabic. Seriously, English is probably the most difficult language to learn because of all the exceptions and special rules. As an aside, I live in a community in Michigan close to an area where the Arabic population has now exceeded 50,000, consequently many businesses have signs posted in both English and Arabic. What irritated me was that I had to visit the Social Security offices in my area recently and all the signs posted were in Arabic with no English translations! It was a similar situation at the Family Independence Agency, at least there the English translations were present (albeit in tiny print underneath). To continue in English - press 1 (one)...

Something interesting I noticed when I was in France was that most of the bank machines gave you about five choices of language.

And to add to that list: Hayley Westenra does BSN on her live DVD; Sheena Easton does Raised On Robbery on her live video; Harry Belafonte does BSN on a video release of a Petula Clark TV special he was on. It scares me that I know this...actually I know it because I've transferred the audio from these video-only performances into our collection.

I read a review of Hotel California recently (can't recall where) and there was some Joni quoting in it. The impression I got was that is was gossipy in a good way ;-) I'm glad for the reminder to order it.
