The Leonard Cohen of Sandwiches
Hosted by Joe Ahearn , Ginny Benson
Originally aired 3/26/12

For his birthday, Joe and Ginny spent the day lounging about his new digs at Dead Herring, the clown house Joe had recently moved into, sipping mimosas out of big skull goblets and pondering the big questions. Who is the Leonard Cohen of the Warper Party? Is Real Estate the Leonard Cohen of K & K Super Buffet? Is Tupac the Leonard Cohen of the West Side? Is Kris Kristofferson the Leonard Cohen of Sunday mornings? From stories about Screaming Females at Generation Records to Jeff The Brotherhood crawling around the safety net behind Death By Audio, we've layered song after song towards crafting the perfect Leonard Cohen of sandwiches. Did we succeed? You be the judge.
