Yep, the post- Gnomegame hangover has just about subsided, I have caught up with most of the screamingly urgent emails in my inbox, and I am now sitting here wondering when Mrs. Toad will return so I can accept the glorious privilege of making her her dinner. Super. Anyhow, my slow recovery means that unless you're very, very quick on your feet you are likely to miss Beth Orton and Dan Michaelson playing at the Liquid Rooms tonight, but playing they are and I am a fan of the new Dan [...]

We've had the weekend to mull over Lana Del Rey's cover of "Chelsea Hotel No. 2," and our conclusion — like much of the internet — is that we can't quite believe we're saying this, but we really rather like it. It also got us thinking about how relatively few great covers of Cohen songs there have been by female artists. In a way, this makes sense — Cohen's songs are quintessentially male in their own lugubrious way. But still, we're always up for a challenge, so we've rounded up a selection of some of our other favorite female-fronted Cohen covers. [...]

Don't get too used to the above image; Ryan Adams has announced his first show backed by a full band since The Cardinals split up in 2009. Taking place March 19th at London's Royal Albert Hall, the gig is part of the Noel Gallagher-curated Teenage Cancer Trust benefit concert series.

Those familiar with the first Rogue’s Gallery issued back in 2006 might approach news of a follow-up collection, Son of Rogues Gallery: Pirate Ballads, Sea Songs & Chanteys , with a mixture of delight and apprehension. This curious enterprise, the brainchild of Pirates of the Caribbean team - specifically, Johnny Depp, director Gore Verbinski, and producer Hal Willner - brings the light of day to largely traditional songs of the sea that otherwise might have remained in Davy Jones’ locker. The performers lend a whole new meaning to that familiar title, Various Artists, as the [...]

Over half way through this 50, we have William Orbit and The Grid. At #20, William Orbit, a major force in early 90s progressive house with Guerilla Records . He's already appeared in Coming Down through his production for Madonna . But here he is in his own right, with his 1993 classic Water From A Vine Leaf , featuring Beth Orton on vocals - I hadn't realised before that they had been an item. This downtempo tune still manages to have a dance beat despite the enveloping water of the tune. In places [...]
