No, he's not in prison. But if you
sign up for his mailing list, you get a load of songs from his forthcoming album
for free! And really, who hasn't got space in their lives for the man who makes Cohen look like a stand-up comedian. 'There's no hope for you, because God's away on business'. Come on everybody, join in!
Gah, this is great and all but I hate having odd songs from albums.
ReplyDeleteBest Tom Waits album, Vole? I have Mule Variations added to spotify. Is that the best one/most accessible?
Voley, Cohen is a very funny man. Those who think he is depressing have no sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I am grateful for the link.
Dan - it's quite a few tracks. Best album for me: Swordfishtrombones. Weirdo cabaret mixed with 1980s stuff.
ReplyDeleteEmma - I know Laughing Len's a funny man, though it's usually melancholic humour. He did, however, write, 'Don't Go Home With Your Hard-on' - a party CD must.

The Heart of Saturday Night
Blood Money
"One From The Heart" (soundtrack)
The Black Rider
