“Suzanne” (Leonard Cohen Acoustic Cover Song) – The Laptop Sessions
Saturday, December 6th, 2008
By Chris Moore:
Hi all! I’m coming to you tonight on time for once, well before the midnight mark on my day to record an acoustic cover song music video. Yes, it’s just after 5:00pm. Now, you may be wondering, what act of God has caused Chris to post on time for once?
Well, the answer is quite simple.
I’m on my way out with Jim and Becky to follow up on an invitation from his cousin Sarah to have a holiday get-together. I don’t know what that exactly entails, but I DO know that we will be watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. That’s just what I need to jump-start this Christmas. It’s been kind of difficult to get into the spirit of the season for a couple reasons. Even our perfectly symmetrical (with only a little work from Jim with his hacksaw) Christmas tree hasn’t brought the Christmas spirit into my soul.
So, what better way to fix that problem than to watch one of my favorite yuletide films?
Also, I keep forgetting to grab my Christmas CDs from the shelf, so I haven’t been listening to holiday music. I can’t wait to break out the Moody Blues, Beach Boys, Brian Wilson, Barenaked Ladies, and America albums. And, I didn’t mean to at first, but I pretty much listed them in order from my absolute favorites to my favorites.
Okay, I’m rushing this post because we really have to go. I’m — big surprise — the only thing making us late right now, so it’s time to end this cheesy un-proofread post with a simple final paragraph…
This is my cover song version of Leonard Cohen’s classic sixties acoustic song “Suzanne.” I’ve been listening to the 30 song PLUS “essential” Leonard Cohen songs the past two weeks, and this is certainly one of my favorites. This song and the one I recorded a couple sessions ago, “No Way to Say Goodbye,” are so different from his later sound, but there’s plenty more Laptop Sessions left… I’ll probably cover “Ain’t No Cure for Love” among others in the future.
For now, though, enjoy this early Leonard Cohen song and I’ll see you next session!

WCJM Presents: “The Tenth Anniversary Show”!!
Saturday, December 6th, 2008
By Chris Moore:
Hey, there, all you listeners out there in Internet radio land! Have I got news for you!…
The Saturday after Thanksgiving was a momentous occasion for those of us at Fusco-Moore Productions, as all seven original WCJM cast members re-united for a nearly three hour morning show that took place in the morning! (If you’re a long-time fan, you may be aware that we often record in the late afternoon or evening.)
The title of this new installment is the Tenth Anniversary Show, as it was recorded only three months after the ten year anniversary of our very first WCJM Moore Hits in the Morning show, starring (then) only Chris, Jim, and Mike. Well, ten years later we’re still recording these shows, now with the longtime additions of Alberto, Dave, Matt, and Jeff.
This show is truly our best yet. I say this without having heard the show yet, but just being there… If you combine a year’s worth of quality skits, an amazing variety of music chosen by all seven cast members, and fairly equal distribution of talking by all during the show, you get “The Tenth Anniversary Show.”
So, to answer the question that’s on everyone’s minds… How do I watch the show??
Well, I’m glad you asked. It’s as easy as going to www.wcjm.com and clicking on the “Moore Hits in the Morning” section.

Chris Moore’s 200th Subscriber
Saturday, December 6th, 2008
By Chris Moore:
Well, it’s happened… I’ve finally reached a milestone on YouTube: my 200th subscriber!
I passed the 200 mark on my YouTube.com channel a few days ago, but it’s been a crazy week. When I wasn’t at school planning, teaching, grading, and filling out paperwork, I was at home helping Jim pick out the perfect Christmas tree (if you’re a fan of symmetry, you’d agree!), recording Laptop Sessions, and watching TNA Impact! with the hope of possibly seeing Christian Cage’s triumphant return to the program. That’s the question on my mind now: Is Christian staying with TNA? Is he going back to WWE? I’ve spent a considerable amount of time and energy searching this online, and there are some decent arguments (with somewhat shady and vague sources, mostly) for each side. I’ll just have to wait and hope. Truly, he’s one of the reasons I watch every week. Even Sting, although he’s been there every week, has been in a transition period of sorts, having made friends of the bad guys.
Oh, well. What was this post about again? Oh, yeah…
I have 200 subscribers! Thanks so much to all who have clicked that little “Subscribe” button above my YouTube channel icon. I hope my videos continue to interest and entertain you!
Coming up next on the blog: A WCJM announcement from yours truly, and then my Laptop Session of the day…
