"Una cosa con la que he sido bendecido es con un enorme sentido de auto-confianza," bromea Tom Morello , explicando de dónde obtuvo valor para hacer una versión de " Blind Willie McTell ", original de Bob Dylan . El tema salió en una compilación llamada Chimes of Freedom , lanzada por Amnesty International USA con fines benéficos, donde también se escuchan otros covers a Dylan por artistas como Peter Seeger y Gaslight Anthem, o la versión interpretada por Ke$ha de " Don't Think Twice, It's All Right ". El track [...]

It's safe to say that without the tireless efforts of Alan Lomax , the world may never have been introduced to the likes of Woody Guthrie, Muddy Waters, Leadbelly or countless other musicians the folklorist and ethnomusicologist recorded on dusty back roads, barns or just about anywhere else he could set up his recording gear. Lomax spent his entire career making field recordings of folk and traditional music, both in the U.S. and abroad, amassing a collection of 5,000 hours of sound recordings, 400,000 feet of film, 3,000 videotapes, 5,000 photographs and piles of manuscripts. Some 17,000 tracks from [...]
The indie pop duo take on Leonard Cohen.
Cults take on Commander Cohen's latter day jam "Everybody Knows" for an upcoming cover LP Old Ideas With New Friends . The set also includes tracks from Bradford Cox and Cold War Kids. Cults choice to put an almost "Runaway" feel under the track (a cold rumbling guitar supporting one-the-ones single note piano stabs) ably maintains the original's isolation and coolness while keeping Uncle Len's tune up to date. Thumbs up. Cults - Everbody Knows (Leonard Cohen) Cults [...]
The LEONARD COHEN's latest long_one is heading in at #2 on the UK charts laters this week and in the name of love the COLD WAR KIDS covered the Canadian he-singer's 'There Is A War' mp3. You watch the video below whilst I was up dinner and head to the Shacklewell Arms to see the TOY live. Bai.
![[Video] Cults: "Everybody Knows" (Leonard Cohen Cover)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4030330_lg.jpg)
Ultimamente Cults se ha enfocado unica y exclusivamente a lo que son sus presentaciones en vivo y, en una que dieron hace un par de meses aprovecharon el momento para hacer un cover de un clasico de Leonard Cohen titulado "Everybody Knows" y hasta ese momento, ese cover solo podia ser escuchado a traves de un video tomado a traves de un celular pero el dia de hoy, se ha dado a conocer un video en el que podemos ver a Cults interpretando esta version de "Everybody Knows" con motivo de una serie de [...]
This edition compiles January and the majority of December. Despite including material featured at the tail end of 2011, every track on here apart from "Stuck Together" and "(I'm In) A Chorus Line" is from a 2012 release. So here's our first peek at music in the new year, even if it's just the tip
For a series in which young bands cover Leonard Cohen classics, called Old Ideas With New Friends , New York duo Cults offer this sweet rendition of 19882s "Everybody Knows." More Leonard Cohen covers by some of your favorite bands are forthcoming, including ones by Deerhunter and Atlas Sound's Bradford Cox and New Pornographer's AC Newman. Last we checked in with Cults , they were working on a hip-hop remixtape, with the likes of Freddie Gibs and Lil B [...]
Cults "Everybody Knows" from Columbia Records on Vimeo . Columbia started a vimeo series entitled, "Old Ideas with New Friends," in which artists cover their favorite Leonard Cohen songs to celebrate the release of his album, Old Ideas . Cults chose to cover "Everybody Knows," and I think they are successful in making it their own. Madeline's vocals sound great on the track and I like their all around arrangement. If you want to check out more covers in the series, follow this link .
Though some cell-phone quality footage of this tune appeared on the net a couple weeks back, The Guardian has hooked us up with a studio session version of the cover, originally by Leonard Cohen in 1988. The tune ("Everybody Knows") is part of a series of Leonard Cohen covers called Old Ideas With New Friends that will be coming out gradually, featuring among others Bradford Cox and A.C. Newman. For now, watch Cults performing "Everybody Knows" below and check out our review of Leonard Cohen's new album, Old Ideas , here . [...]
Recently, the hottest music news seems to be dominated by classic artists. There's Madonna at the Super Bowl. The Velvet Revolver reunion. The Van Halen reunion shows and new album. Bruce Springsteen's got a new album. Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney have new albums. Will Guns N Roses reunite for the rock n roll hall of fame? and tomorrow is Rush day. I think there are two reasons why
Based on the title of its lead single ("Going Home"), you might expect Old Ideas to be a very somber, reflective record –- one of the sorts that Johnny Cash was recording in his final years, when he embraced the fact that he was nearing the end of his life and created some of his most frail, heartbreaking work, literally singing from his deathbed at one point. But there's still cynicism seeping through Cohen's disaffected voice, which, though it never lent itself to traditional vocals, is now more than ever a soft, hoarse whisper, at times seeming to [...]

Arthur Matos - Seu lugar Com clima caseiro, o sergipano Arthur Matos , que fez sua estreia com a banda Nantes em 2010, lança seu primeiro álbum solo, Seu Lugar . Bêbado de referências folk como o Fleet Foxes , Matos entrega um trabalho intimista e psicodélico com letras bastante pessoais e trabalhadas, muitas vezes sendo mais priorizadas do que a melodia em si. Mas apesar disso, a melodia também se mostra um dos investimentos do trabalho às vezes. Em Voltando Ao Seu Lar , encontramos a [...]
The story goes like this: Just a couple of years ago, Leonard Cohen was a septuagenarian retiree, more or less done with music, living in a Buddhist monastery in California. He stopped touring in 1993, and his last studio album, Dear Heather , came out in 2004. Cohen had done plenty in his life, releasing at least four albums that are in the dorm-room canon for anyone getting serious about loving music and, along with Serge Gainsbourg, defining a sophisticated-sensualist persona that's become one of rock's great archetypes. He'd more than earned the chance to spend the rest of [...]

Remember when Merge Records was synonymous with genre-defining indie rock and had a whole roster of bands whose albums you couldn't wait to get your hands on? Well, guess what? They still are, and do! The venerable Durham, North Carolina, label proves they're still up to their game with two releases this week in heavy rotation at KEXP. Bay Area veterans Imperial Teen return with their fifth album overall and their third on Merge, Feel the Sound , which, according to our Music Director, Don Yates, "continues to refine and expand upon their infectious blend of power-pop, [...]
