Everyone once in a while has to just retreat from the world. There's little things we all do for comfort when we're fed up with reality, and as I've learned lately, the croonings of Mr. Cohen are a release to many folks as well as myself. He's the guy we turn to when we're sinking into misery, lonely and have nobody else. He's a private pleasure, and as such, nobody ever talks about him, or listens to him when friends are around. We do buy his albums, but he doesn't recieve quite so much acclaim as he deserves, because, as I said, he's the audible shoulder to lean on when we haven't got a friend.


cheers!

for some reason I thought this said, Lindsey Lohan appreciation thread...now I realize that I see things

no, come to think of it, I don't.

fuck yeah !

he's canadian
w00t

he's also got some badass fucking songs.

if it be your will, is my favorite but that motherfucker is as depressing if not more then tom waits with a shotgun and barrel of whiskey

If you like him, check out Nick Cave and the Bad seeds. Nick Cave has been described as a progression of Leonard Cohen and I can agree with that.

my favorite of his is easily the song "The Curse of Millhaven"

i really, REALLY like "watching Alice"

do you like Birthday Party as well?

yeah not a Nick Cave fan

wade said:

I never heard Birthday party

one of my all time favorites songs is into my arms...there is a live version i have...i prefer it to the original...i have a crappy version of it...but it's soo good..it was shortly after his grandmother died and he dedicated it to her

I'm a big fan of both...New Skin for the Old Ceremony is my favorite Cohen album.
Nick Cave has some really bad/annoying stuff, but some great stuff as well. Murder Ballads is top notch. So is his cover of Let it Be.

If I had to pick a favorite tune, it'd be "A Thousand Kisses Deep"

that's my favorite as well.

for some reason i thought this was a david choen apprt. htread. in that case, id have to woop some ass.(3 close family members in Newton are Firefighters)

in case you're wondering,newton is cutting back its firefighter force(which it should expand on)
