![]() Live performance and chat with Adam Cohen |
||||||
| The family resemblance is strong in Adam Cohen, evident from the first notes he sings on his new album, "Like a Man." His dad Leonard returned to performing a few years ago, spurring Adam to do likewise after a very long break. Disillusioned after three major label albums with a lukewarm reception, the younger Cohen took a five-year break to return with a new album reminiscent of is father's early, spare sound. Adam Cohen visited WFMU to play live and chat. | ||||||

Whoa - before coming to the playlist, I thought this was Leonard Cohen. Great stuff. | |

I see what you mean, Mike -- perhaps the voice not as deep. | |

Listening in from Malmö. Sweden. | |

Torbjørn:
Norway checking in. This is the son of Leonard Cohen ? This guy sounds nice, but voice needs more doom, gloom, whiskey and sigarettes .. | |

Yeah, he is a chip off the Cohen block all right. Irene+Cohen = low-stress start of the week. The anti-Rush... | |

@Torbjørn: Likely that would achieve dad's deeper register, but it's just fine and clean where it is. | |

The way he hits, kinda punches the note at the beginning of a word is so much his father....eerie... This is so lovely. Thanks Irene and thanks especially to Adam. | |

Mon. 4/2/12 12:35pm
Chris:
OMG! Not only his fathers genes but his soul and poetic sensibility as well. You have a new admirer. Thanks Irene. | |

Adam I did not know who you were when starting to listen to this. I enjoyed what I heard before I was even aware of who you were. | |
|

Chris:
There can never be enough Cohen in the world! Longtime fan of Leonard and happily brand new admirer of Adam. | |

This Bismol-colored webpage is making me queasy. Reminds me of those peppermint lozenges Aunt Veda used to keep in a little dish on the coffee table by her Kimball organ with the Color-Glo keys. | |

Page is beige in IE. Do different browsers display the page in a different color scheme??? | |
|
Mon. 4/2/12 1:37pm
Van in DC:
Huh. Maybe it's a combination of browser and version? In IE, this page is white for me. Pepto Bismol colored in Firefox. | |

@G: Before he left Friday for work, JT insisted I open one present specifically: It's a G. digital audio box, so now WFMU CAN be with me in the garden, whoo-hoo! I'm wireless and ready to cultivate some juicy tuneage, yeah, baby! :) | |

Sorry about the Pink. I'll find a more IE-friendly color after the show. Daniel, please send a note to me via email (irene@wfmu.org) with the details. I'll certainly give a listen. |

This is the color of a sweet Psychedelic Furs Teeshirt I wanted to buy last week, but was only available in girls' sizes. I'm a dude, but I can wear pink, too. | |

Color of my lunch smoothie was somewhere between these two shades. And I bought a Bombino ticket at lunch and am tickled two shades of pink. | |
