Yeah, I just thought it was nicely put - and it's just a news piece (I didn't bother pasting the album bit, cos I guess y'all alreasy know about it). It's got its detractractors, but I've always found Pitchfork to be an excellent source of reviews, recommendations and appraisals, and it's especially...

This is a few days old, so sorry if it's been discussed, but I just found this little piece of writing relating to Leonard Cohen's new album on Pitchforkmedia.com, and rather liked how the writer put it, so I thought I'd share: Leonard Cohen Readies 11th Album Joins Veronica, J.D. in plot to take do...

I don't see it as writing to a past self - if you take it for what it is, it's a brave, cuckolded letter from the author to a man who's stolen his lover - and made a better fist of keeping her happy than he ever could. It's that mix of jealousy, regret, bitterness and defiance - complex emotions. I ...

I've got a bit of webspace with some new songs taken from the Hope & Anchor gig, if anyone's interested...

Suzanne and So Long Marianne are pretty much the first songs I ever recall hearing - my parents must have played them a lot when I was a bout four or five. I came back to him when I was about 14 or so, and had just got into Dylan and the Beatles and was rifling through my parents record collection f...

Hi - I've just got another gig lined up for Tuesday 25th at Viva Viva in Hornsey... All comers welcome. Once I get a little website going, I'll post a link, so I can stop defaming dear Leonard with shameless self-promotion..!

I've got enough songs for about three albums, I do have plenty of them recorded on cassettes, but I'm not very hot on production, and can get quite impatient :x , so almost all of them have little mistakes in them - which mean I don't want to put them out. :oops: At the moment, I'm concentrating on ...

Thanks very much for listening and for the feedback - actually, I've never heard any Burt Jansch - a lot of people have told me I should though. I'll have to check him out asap. And yes, they're my own compositions. Not sure why the second link doesn't work, but I may as well try again... http://www...

Just voted for Songs of love and hate - but I have to say I'm shocked at the poor showing for Songs of Leonard Cohen - every single moment on it is perfect. Is it just cos it's too 'obvious'?

I'm not sure if I'm commiting a gross breach of etiquette here, but I figure, what the hey, I'm a London based songwriter who people have compared to Leonard Cohen. I've just uploaded a couple of songs, and am looking to get a bit of feedback on them. So if anyone's around, please, give me a listen ...
