ADVERT!
Know that I don't advertise ....ordinarily but here I make an exception!
The new Leonard Cohen album is a rare treat after so long away from official releases (8 years?)
'Old Ideas' is out any minute and is an absolute beauty. Slow as slow as can be without stopping, the breathless backing singers seem to keep Leonard's lowest rumble on track for fear of him stopping and in parts, on some songs, it is almost spoken poetry( and nothing wrong with that ED) Lyrically he is on fine fine form and reaches ever darkening depths still that mere mortals fear to venture a step towards.
 Go get it, go book it now!

Old Ideas - Leonard Cohen available here.......
