Iggy Pop vs Leonard Cohen

.
Canada's public radio and television broadcaster, the CBC, is one of the few 'old media' institutions that actually understands the the internet. Many of you have probably seen (the now defunct) CBC Radio 3, which was an amazing indie culture magazine; JustConcerts.com, which is a beautiful archive of live indie music that includes recordings some great shows that I've been to including this and this; or New Music Canada, which posts songs from hundreds of great indie bands like Jerk with a Bomb or the Arcade Fire.

Recently, however, I've been really into their radio and television archive. Basically they've posted hundreds of video and audio clips from radio and television shows over the past century. For a total dork like me this is a goldmine of historical sources. For everyone else, though, there's some really great stuff too. For instance, take this classic interview with Iggy Pop from 1977 that was later immortalized in the opening track of Mogwai's Come On Die Young album (Mogwai - Punk Rock). Or, even better, this archive of ten radio and television interviews with Leonard Cohen from 1958 to 1993. In this interview, the sexual tension between Cohen and the interviewer is so high that it seems as though they're going to just spontaneously start tearing off each other's clothes.
