raspy mix

I listen to a range of music, but one of my signatures is what my old roommate called old man depresso music...what can I say i have loved raspy smoky voice for a long ass time (and the modern evolutions)

My favorite being Leonard Cohen, one of the most influential men in music, yet talked about less than i would expect even though his songs show up on a shit load of soundtracks...(around 4 or 5 times on the l word alone), there are around 1,000 covers of his songs. I kind of feel about Leonard Cohen the way i felt about liz phair back in the day, but i trust he wont sell out he is already too old, but I figured i'd make a cohen inspired mix before the hipsters get their claws in him the way they did Johnny Cash. I predict this will happen soon as there is a new documentary coming out about him "I'm your Man".

I find this type of music great for sitting around staring into space or laying around on the floor as i tend to do on occasion- i like to draw to it.

so got nothing better to do? why not lay around mix

-I left out damien rice cause it was running long and we all know everybody loves him

Leonard Cohen and Liz Phair are pretty much the only music I'm snooty about, man i hope I am not a hipster. i've been freaked out the past few years now that music i like has become popular, not used to that -i grew up in a heavy rock town..same high school as members of Rage against the machine, tool, babes in toyland, etc- but i dont care that others like it and i dont claim to introduce anyone to anything...

(this whole entry probably just proved that i am a hipster in denial, I bet there is a sub-group name for people who are senstive about being called a hipster, what is it? Oh yeah Indie ;) people love to catergorize.

Can you tell i'm a soc major yet? some say it is pretty obvious. dont get me started on race and gender theory)
