Today's Theme is the song I used as the opening track of my radio show back in the day: Todd Rundgren's International Feel (the single version, which is actually a cross-edit of two tracks from A Wizard/A True Star: "International Feel" and "Le Feel Internacionale").

Over the instrumental intro I'd mix in a recording of James Joyce reading the first poem from Chamber Music:

Strings in the earth and air
    Make music sweet;
Strings by the river where
    The willows meet.

There's music along the river
    For Love wanders there,
Pale flowers on his mantle,
    Dark leaves on his hair.

All softly playing,
    With head to the music bent,
And fingers straying
    Upon an instrument.

Today's Theme Song is Leonard Cohen's Who By Fire

And who by fire, who by water,
who in the sunshine, who in the night time,
who by high ordeal, who by common trial,
who in your merry merry month of may,
who by very slow decay,
and who shall I say is calling?

And who in her lonely slip, who by barbiturate,
who in these realms of love, who by something blunt,
and who by avalanche, who by powder,
who for his greed, who for his hunger,
and who shall I say is calling?

And who by brave assent, who by accident,
who in solitude, who in this mirror,
who by his lady's command, who by his own hand,
who in mortal chains, who in power,
and who shall I say is calling?
