James A. Caster here, comedian and music fan.

And in 2017, I had a breakdown.

I dealt with that breakdown by buying as much music from 2016

as I possibly could. As a result, I now own over 700 albums that came out in 2016 and I'm

convinced it's the greatest year for music of all time. But it's not enough me being convinced.

I also want to convince each and every single one of you, plus a guest every week.

I'm going to send them an album in advance.

They're going to come on the podcast.

We're going to talk about that album.

This week, my guest is Fatia El-Gori, and we're talking about the album, You Want It Darker, by Leonard Cohen.

If thine is the glory, then mine must be the shame.

You want it darker darker we kill the flame

Leonard Cohen needs no introduction really he's a legendary musician he started out as a poet at

the age of 33 he started turning to music and doing songs because the poetry wasn't quite going

in the direction that he wanted it to.

He's some people's favorite artist of all time.

He's done countless successful albums, had many big hits.

Alleluia is probably his most famous song.
