"You moved in slow degrees/A sudden memory/You're a Leonard Cohen song" - Better Than Ezra, "Under You" "But I was caught, like a fleeting thought / Stuck inside Leonard Cohen's mind" - Mercury Rev, "A Drop In Time" "Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld / So I can sigh eternally" - Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea" It's almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen , the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late [...]
Llloyd Cole , un pezzo di storia della musica anni '80 tornato sulle scene con la pubblicazione di Broken Record nel 2011 per la Tapete Records, grazie anche ad un sistema di found raising che ha coinvolto 1000 dei suoi fan e una serie di musicisti che hanno deciso di collaborare alla realizzazione dell'album con il minimo sindacale, operazione che ha coinvolto artisti come Fred Maher, Matt Cullen e persino Joan Wasser. Broken Record è un album profondamente americano, nonostante le radici di Cole, ed è stato realizzato in due mesi negli stati uniti. DNA concerti [...]

After breaking up in 1989, Cole embarked on a solo career but the band reformed briefly in 2004 to perform a 20th anniversary mini-tour of the UK and Ireland. Read more »
In surveying jangle-pop albums, calling an album great makes allowance for more uninspired tracks than on most other genre releases. Like early '50s rock albums by groups like the Everly Brothers – who inspired many of them – they are slipshod assemblies of 45s and tracks produced to sound faintly like those 45s.

Wikipedia It's no error that the just-released Obscurities collection of rarities and ephemera came out credited to Stephin Merritt , considering that it drew material from all of many projects such as The Magnetic Fields, Future Bible Heroes, Gothic Archies or The 6ths in addition to works released under his own name.
