PG Code Monkey
I’ve had a couple of requests for this: here’s a version of Code Monkey without any cussing. I also cut out the crap for good measure.

VTAW – Famous Blue Raincoat
I was wondering what Len was going to do with this one. It’s even creepier as an actual letter…
Thing a Week 34 – Famous Blue Raincoat
This is a cover of a Leonard Cohen song. If some of you kiddies haven’t heard it, you should, and in fact you’re about to. I’m sort of obsessed with it – to me it’s a nearly perfect example of how stories can be told in songs. You never know exactly what happened, but you get glimpses through all these tiny verbal gestures. The title itself says so much without being at all specific. I like to try to fill in the gaps – there’s something about a friend, a wife, and a betrayal, but also something more complicated and private. It’s especially creepy to hear Leonard Cohen sing it, because he is nothing if not totally creepy.
And a small plug – I’ll be at Jammin Java in Vienna, VA tonight with Paul and Storm. If you’re in the area, come on out and see us.
