[Album Review/Stream] Leonard Cohen- Old Ide ..by nashawa It’s really difficult to come into an album like Old Ideas without preconceived notions. We all know who Leonard Cohen is and the weight the name carries in this country.

Soundtrack From Season 1: Lie to MeIt’s no secret that FOX has a habit of canceling its best shows (to this day I still want to have a serious talking to with whoever decided Arrested Development had run its course). And after a recent Lie to Me obsession this summer, I was devastated to find there was no Season 4 to continue my marathon. So consider this playlist Part 1 of a final lament to yet another show that ended before its time. Lie to Me is a drama centered around Dr. Cal Lightman (Tim Roth – you know you already love him from either Pulp ...indie shuffle10 February 2012

Leonard Cohen's "Old Ideas"On Further Review by Julie Stoller It dawns like an early morning sunrise, with chorus, piano and strings drawing a pastoral scene. Punctuated by organ chords and soft percussive flourishes, the introduction is somberly recited by a man who is both observer and observed. I was laughing and in tears at the first song. But that’s about right, isn’t it? This is Leonard Cohen. new release! "Different Sides" by Leonard Cohen For “ Old Ideas ,” Cohen’s first new album since 2004 (studio album #12), the production is clean, crisp and sparse, with sharp focus on the vocals and ...Ryan's Smashing Life9 February 2012

Who Charted? Lana Del Rey Fails to Beat Adel ..First! Adele held on to the No. 1 spot on Billboard 's Top 200 albums chart for a 19th non-consecutive week. The British singer's 21 sold 122,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That means Adele's sophomore LP has now spent more weeks atop the chart than any album other than The Bodyguard soundtrack, whose 20-week mark she can match if she holds off this week's releases by Van Halen and the Fray to keep the top spot next week. But remember, this isn't consecutive, so Adele could still keep setting records even if 21 falters ...Spin9 February 2012

Paul McCartney - Kisses On The BottomThe enigma that is Paul McCartney . He is the writer of some of the best pop songs in history, melodist extraordinaire and the go to guy if you need a headliner for a charity festival. He has also not been able to recreate the magic of his earlier compositions in his recent work. It’s not that surprising really; he no longer has to compete with John Lennon and trying to better himself is, to be fair, one big ask. He’s also not twenty-five anymore, although age shouldn’t really be an excuse as Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and ...The 4058 February 2012
