Jarl Friis-Mikkelsen mener sagtens, han kan lande 10 store interview med verdensstjerner fra øverste hylde. Det er i hvert fald den opgave, han rejser til Los Angeles med. Øverst på listen står Jack Nicholson og Michael Jackson. Men det går ikke helt så let, som han har forventet. Derover har de aldrig hørt om Jarlen, og alle agenterne siger bare nej. Den ene måned tager den næste uden succes. Endelig får han overtalt Cher, og hun hjælper ham med adgang til andre navne. Snart sidder han med Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Arnold Schwarzenegger og Leonard Cohen. Især den sidste gør indtryk.

Co-Directors Dan Geller and Dayna Goldfine reach into the vault to reflect back on their film “Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen, A Journey, A Song”, a beautiful film that tracks how the song "Hallelujah" went from being rejected by Cohen's record label to becoming a beloved global anthem. Dan and Dayna discuss the challenges of constructing the biography of an artist's soul (3:30), earning Leonard's trust shortly before his death (14:30), why they insisted on making the film independently (25:00), their co-directing and collaboration method (34:30), and the importance of theatrical releases for documentaries (39:30).

Greta Gerwig's upcoming Narnia adaptation has generated plenty of conversation, particularly around the reported casting of Meryl Streep as the voice of Aslan.Rather than deciding whether that interpretation is right or wrong, Justin uses the controversy to ask a larger question: What happens to art once the artist releases it into the world?Justin shares the story of artist Laura Van Daren's “Truth Scope” and her realization that an audience's experience of her work becomes part of the work itself. He also remembers meeting someone whose deeply personal interpretation of one of Justin's songs bore little resemblance to what Justin originally intended.From there, he looks at Leonard Cohen's “Hallelujah,” Jeff Buckley's interpretation of it, and Johnny Cash's transformation of Trent Reznor's “Hurt.”The conversation eventually returns to Narnia and the particular intensity surrounding interpretations of religiously significant art.Justin considers why Christians can become protective of Narnia, the difference between Aslan and the Jesus to whom Aslan points, and even the multiple ways Christians already engage sacred scripture, from historical and exegetical study to practices like Lectio Divina.The question underneath it all is about posture.Can we become more curious about what an artist is exploring before deciding what their work means? Can we leave room for another person's spiritual and creative journey? And can we trust that a new interpretation won't destroy what we already love?

Der Gastgeber wird zum Gast. Normalerweise stellt er die Fragen, hört zu und weiß ziemlich genau, wann es besser ist, einfach mal nichts zu sagen. Diesmal dreht Senta Delliponti die Perspektive um. Heute bei Here To Get Heard: Tex. Seit 18 Jahren schafft er mit TV Noir Räume, in denen Musik nicht einfach nur gespielt wird, sondern wirklich passieren darf.Im Gespräch geht es um TV Noir, ums Zuhören und um die Frage, was einen guten musikalischen Raum eigentlich ausmacht. Tex beschreibt seine Arbeit selbst als das Schaffen besonderer Orte, an denen etwas passieren kann, und erzählt, warum Stille dabei manchmal wichtiger ist als die nächste gute Frage.Gerade der Moment nach einem Song, wenn noch niemand klatscht, kann für ihn einer der schönsten des ganzen Abends sein.Außerdem geht es um Leonard Cohen. Dessen Songs begleiten Tex schon lange und öffnen für ihn einen Raum irgendwo zwischen Popmusik und Spiritualität. Er spricht darüber, warum ihn nicht nur Cohens Songwriting fasziniert, sondern vor allem die Energie dahinter und wie er gemeinsam mit Sängerin Sacha Heath versucht, diesen Liedern eine eigene, reduzierte Form zu geben.Bei der These „Die besten Gastgeber machen sich überflüssig“ widerspricht Tex zumindest teilweise. Es geht zwar nicht um ihn, trotzdem sieht er den Host als eine Art Anker, zu dem die Energie eines Abends immer wieder zurückkehrt. Entscheidend ist dabei weniger, was er sagt, sondern wie viel Zeit, Ruhe und Sicherheit er einem Moment gibt.Zwischendurch muss Tex bei „Etwas sagen oder für immer schweigen?“ beweisen, wie gut er Stille wirklich aushält. Und auch sein Leonard-Cohen-Wissen wird bei „Cohen, Cover oder Quatsch?“ auf die Probe gestellt.In der großen Challenge bei Tune & Try wird ein riesiger Song ganz klein. Tex entscheidet sich für Queens „Bohemian Rhapsody“ und macht daraus spontan eine reduzierte Version.Wie das klingt? Hört selbst!Mehr zu Tex findest du hier:

"Don't You Push" If Coleridge was right and friendship is a sheltering tree, then Julie Christensen lives in a very big forest. It's true. She knows a lot of people and she has a lot of friends. When you listen to us chat you'll hear organically how this Iowa native has moved through the world making friends everywhere she goes. Let's back up. Julie first landed on my radar when I was a high school DJ and SST Records sent our thrash metal radio station records by her band Divine Horsemen. The fiery post-punk outfit who even now bring to mind The Gun Club, are only part of the story, so I'll do what I can to fill in the gaps. After a stint in college and playing with the band Longshot who opened for John Prine and Asleep At The Wheel, Christensen left Iowa for Texas where she played with Passenger and did some more studying at the University of Austin. But it was her move west where things really picked up speed. She fell in with the rockabilly punk scene, joined Divine Horsemen with her husband Chris D of the Flesheaters, got divorced, found sobriety and then? You can tell I'm speeding along here because Julie tells her story far better than I can, but long story short, her old pal Roscoe Beck from Passenger became Leonard Cohen's Musial Director and he suggested Christensen sing with the legendary bard. And that's exactly what she did for nearly twenty years. Julie has a series of powerful solo albums like Love Is Driving and Where The Fireworks Are and her new single "Don't You Push" is a reaction to the darkness and frustration of what's currently happening in our country. As for her voice, well, putting it simply, Julie Christensen's delivery is as towering as it is graceful. Filled with equal parts muscle and finesse, her phrasing is poetic, precise and riveting. And she's a lovely person and just wonderful to speak to. www.stonecupid.com (http://www.stonecupid.com) www.juliechristensen.bandcamp (http://www.juliechristensen.bandcamp).com www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) IG + THREADS + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Hoy hace 3 años: Nagorno Karabaj se rinde, anuncia su desarme y hablará con Azerbaiyán de la reintegración …y hoy hace 3 años: Junqueras insiste en que la amnistía está pactada con el PSOE y el Gobierno lo niega: "El papel dice lo que dice" Hoy se cumplen 1.674 días de guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania. 4 años y 206 días. Hoy es lunes 21 de septiembre de 2026. Día Internacional de la Paz. El 21 de septiembre se celebra el Día Internacional de la Paz, una fecha para fortalecer los ideales de paz y en el que se pide un respeto de 24 horas de no violencia y el alto el fuego. En el año 1981 la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) promulgó el 21 de septiembre como el Día Internacional de la Paz, una fecha dedicada a conmemorar los ideales de paz de cada pueblo y cada nación, con especial énfasis en el desarrollo social y económico en diversas facetas: pobreza, hambre, salud, educación, cambio climático, igualdad de género, agua, saneamiento, electricidad, medioambiente y justicia social. Posteriormente, en el año 2001 la Asamblea General decidió designar este día internacional, cómo Jornada de No Violencia y Alto al Fuego. 1792.- La Convención declara la Revolución Francesa y la abolición de la monarquía. Tal día como hoy, 21 de septiembre de 1937, se publica por primera vez «El Hobbit» de JRR Tolkien, que sigue la búsqueda del amante del hogar Bilbo Bolsón. Años más tarde, el 21 de septiembre de 1949, se proclamó la República Popular Comunista de China bajo el mandato de Mao Tse Tung. 1964.- Malta se independiza del Reino Unido. 1967: El almirante Luis Carrero Blanco es designado vicepresidente del gobierno español por el general Franco. 1991: Armenia declara oficialmente su independencia de la Unión Soviética. 1998: Bill Clinton testifica ante el Gran Jurado estadounidense sobre sus relaciones con Monica Lewinsky.

El precio medio en origen del MAPA para la semana 37, en 0,321 euros por kilo, es aún peor que el ya segundo más bajo, de 0,325 en la última semana de agosto; los productores isleños están desesperados y las soluciones para recuperar valores remunerativos para el cosechero tardan en llegan tras más de dos meses.

This evening we explore the life-long connection Leonard Cohen had to Yom Kippur, through his music and his writing. We provide a new understanding of the central prayer, Unesaneh Tokef, which for many is frightening and harsh. Partially inspired by Cohen's last interview, we can understand this prayer as expressing the joy of God's loving intimacy, and the control we have to be better. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law.

Welcome back to Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions with Jason P. Woodbury. This week on the show, comedian James Austin Johnson joins us to dive into the music nerd obsessions of his new comedy special, He'll Yeah. You've likely seen JAJ on the TV. He's known for portraying Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and occasionally, Bob Dylan, on SNL. But He'll Yeah's vignettes and on-stage footage find Johnson creating a more "indie rock" styled special—something deeply specific to his own life and interests. In other words, if you're coming for Donald Trump impressions, you're out of luck. But if you're one of the, to quote the special, "seven other people who know who David Fricke is," it's tailor-made for you. That signature blend of the genuine and the goofy is also on display in Johnson's music work. If you search him on your streaming service of choice, you'll find some great Bob Dylan covers. Obviously, Johnson is a great impressionist, but he's not so much aping Bob's signature vocal styles with these songs as much as he is genuinely inhabiting them. It all lands somewhere between earnest sincerity and all-out goofs—as does this conversation. We want to thank our Talkhouse compatriots The Jokermen for connecting us after I listened to their great talk with James. Do support them on Patreon, they are in the midst of their new Leonard Cohen series. James Austin Johnson's He'll Yeah is currently available exclusively on Gorilla Comedy+ before launching on 800 Pound Gorilla's YouTube channel on September 22.  So press play and dive in as Johnson talks his comedy, dig into the filmography of Wes Anderson, and reveal what he said to Scarlett Johansson when he met her, is James Austin Johnson on Aquarium Drunkard Transmissions.

En la Mesa de Verano de hoy rendimos homenaje a Federico García Lorca a través de la música, con nuestras versiones de cada jueves. Recorremos algunas de las canciones que han convertido sus poemas en música, desde Camarón y La Leyenda del Tiempo hasta Leonard Cohen, Enrique Morente pasando por Ketama y Dellafuente. Además, recordamos a Ricardo Pachón, figura clave del nuevo flamenco y productor de discos que cambiaron para siempre la música española. Y después, ¿por qué nos fascinan tanto los detectives amateurs, que no son policías, pero que siempre terminan resolviendo el crimen? La jefa de cultura Pepa Blanes nos explica qué hay detrás del éxito de los detectives aficionados y por qué nos gusta tanto que alguien, una persona de a pie como puede ser cualquiera - incluso unas ovejas - consiga poner orden en medio del caos.

There is naked soul and gritty mountain climbing in JAMOOF's songs, with reflections of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, and other rich folk fodder.

 The Re-Conquest of IrelandWell done Mayo in the all-Ireland football final. Commiserations to Kerry. Both teams played their hearts out but in the end Mayo were worthy winners.Next month on August 30 I will be in Ballina, Mayo for the 45th anniversary of the 10 hunger strikers who died during the 1981 hunger strike. The event will also remember the three Mayo Hunger Strikers, Jack McNeela (1940), Michael Gaughan (1974) and Frank Stagg, (1976). 22 Republican prisoners died on hunger strike in the 20th century. Gerry KellyMy friend and comrade Gerry Kelly has announced his decision not to stand in the Assembly election next May. That does not mean that he will no longer be a republican activist. No chance of that. As I found out when I stepped back from electoral politics there is still a lot to do. And I am certain Gerry Kelly will also find that to be true.Gerry's commitment to ending the union with Britain and building a new Ireland, based on equality and respect is well known. As is his courage and determination in the face of enormous challenges. He spent 15 years in prisons in Ireland, Britain and Europe and was 205 days on hunger strike. For 167 of those days he was force fed by having a tube inserted into his nose – “like a red-hot needle being pushed into one's head”, he later wrote – and a wooden clamp jammed between his teeth to hold his jaws open while a feeding tube was fed down his throat.He was in solitary confinement in Mountjoy, Brixton, Wormwood Scrubs, Long Lartin, Maastricht, Amsterdam, the H-Blocks and Crumlin Road prisons. He attempted to escape several times and succeeded in the Great Escape from the H-Blocks of 1983 with 37 comrades.I have many fond memories of working with and socialising with Gerry, including on one occasion when he and I drove over to Lissadell House in County Sligo, childhood home of Countess Markievicz, to listen to Leonard Cohen sing. It was a beautiful summer evening in 2010. Leonard had an affection for Ireland and occasionally he sang “Kevin Barry”.Gerry is a wonderful dancer. In Lissadell Leonard started his set and after a time Gerry found a spot near the beer tent, where he was soon moved to go into the dancing repertoire he'd developed in solitary, listening to the music in his head. A crowd gathered around him. “Dance me to the end of love,” sang Leonard. “Dance me through the panic ‘til I'm gathered safely in.” Gerry moved more deeply into synchronicity with the song, fluid, absorbed, committed, his whole body in it in an expression of melodic wonderment. From the stage Leonard stopped mid-verse to salute him. I basked in the reflected glory of Gerry's rhythmic perambulations. ‘I'm your man,' I told him.As an elected official and negotiator Gerry has been a formidable representative for Sinn Fein and for the people of North Belfast. In the early 1990's he and Martin McGuinness engaged in secret talks with the British. He was one of our negotiating team for the Good Friday Agreement and in many subsequent negotiations, most frequently on policing.Gerry is a very fine writer. I have an Australian friend who frequently tells me that Gerry's book – The Escape: The Inside Story of the 1983 Escape from Long Kesh Prison – is the best book he's read on the struggle. Gerry has also written a memoir and two books of poems. So well done Gerry. You won't get away that easy – but you know that!!! Go luck to you and Margaret and all your clann. No Place for Armed GroupsLast week an explosive device was discovered in a car in County Monaghan, apparently on its way North. Whoever was responsible for this irresponsible action is actively working against the significant opportunity that now exists to end partition.Public and political support for Irish unity is stronger now than at any time since partition was imposed over a century ago. The conversation on unity crosses all political and community sectors. Apart from Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin there is a growing consensus among the broad nationalist/left parties across the island that Irish Unity is a winnable objective and offers the best prospect for a better future for all of the people of our island.

Is the American empire officially in its "dying animal" era? Author and cultural critic Stephen Marche certainly thinks so and for the first time in his career, he's feeling downright optimistic. In Stephen's view, the collapse of U.S. global dominance isn't a tragedy for Canada; it's a once-in-a-generation opportunity to ditch our toxic relationship with American markets, invest in our own sovereignty, and reinvent ourselves on the world stage. Host Jesse Brown isn't quite ready to pop the champagne. Armed with a weak Canadian dollar, decaying public infrastructure, and the words of Leonard Cohen, Jesse steps into the ring to challenge Stephen's sunny outlook.Will global chaos force Canada to finally thrive on its own, or are we forever tethered to a dying beast?Further Reading:Gloves Off Podcast - Stephen MarcheThe Next Civil War: Dispatches from the American Future — Stephen MarcheTrump's new 50% tariffs to hit even CUSMA-compliant goods — CBCDo you believe in the Old Canada, or the New Canada? — Globe & MailStephen Harper says Canada should ‘accept any level of damage' to fight back against Donald Trump — Toronto StarWATCH: Mark Carney at Davos: "A Rupture, Not a Transition" — CBS NewsLeonard Cohen Predicts the Future — The Cinch ReviewHost: Jesse BrownCredits: Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), Chad Galloway (Producer), Tristan Capacchione (Senior Production Supervisor), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by: Julian AbrahamAdditional music by: Audio NetworkPhoto: George ThomasSponsors: Squarespace: Check out https://squarespace.com/canadaland for a free trial, and when you're ready to launch use code canadaland to save 10% off your first purchase of a website or domain.Douglas: Douglas is giving our listeners a FREE Sleep Bundle with each mattress purchase.

Feeling like an exhausted parent before the summer holidays have even started? You're allowed to be. This short, one-take episode — no editing, no polish, on purpose — is a reality check on parent burnout, the mental load, and why holidays with young kids are not actually holidays (they're taking the show on the road).Recorded at the start of the Dutch summer break, this episode gives you permission to rest before you crash — because burnout doesn't send a calendar invite, and the signs of parental exhaustion are easy to miss until someone points them out. Consider this that someone.Inside: a four-question burnout self-check you can do on the bike, why the gap between how you're doing and how you say you're doing is the first warning light, lowering the bar for the school holidays without guilt, and why five minutes a day beats the 5K run you keep not doing. With a little help from Brené Brown's Daring Greatly and Leonard Cohen's beauty of cracks.Part of DAM Parenting's ongoing conversation about what it actually takes to stay well while raising kids far from home — because parents don't need fixing, they need conditions where they can function.

This week on the podcast, musician, songwriter, producer, and pastor David Gungor joins me for a conversation about creativity, spirituality, and the surprising relationship between craftsmanship and inspiration. Known for his work with The Brilliance and The Good Shepherd Music Collective, David reflects on art as a path of transformation, the role of play in the creative life, and why some of our most meaningful work emerges through community.   Through Art's Open Door, David shares Leonard Cohen's song "Suzanne," a work that continues to shape his understanding of beauty, patience, and the spiritual life. We explore what it means to slow down, embrace mystery, and trust that creativity is born not from necessity, but from love.   If you've ever wrestled with perfectionism, burnout, or the tension between making art and enjoying it, this conversation offers a refreshing invitation to rediscover wonder, play, and the mercy that meets us exactly as we are.   I also give you an update from the tour, so listen to the end!   Resources & Links Preorder Art Is How God Loves Us Suzanne by Leonard Cohen This Table is Yours by Good Shepherd Collective The Brilliance Good Shepherd Collective I'd love to hear about the works of art that have become thin places in your own life.

Ongoing History of New Music

Rock music is supposed to belong to the young...but history tells us a different story. This time, we look at artists who refused to quit, even as the years passed and the industry insisted their time was over. From Deborah Harry breaking through with Blondie in her 30s, to James Murphy reinventing himself with LCD Soundsystem at 35, to Leonard Cohen becoming a global icon in his 50s, these are the musicians who proved that success doesn't always come on schedule. They've had to deal with ageism baked into the music business, the realities of grinding it out for decades, and the moments when persistence, timing, and reinvention finally collide. It's a reminder that while breaking through gets harder with age, it's never impossible...and sometimes, the best work comes later. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
