Love Irish rogues, especially the Pogues @Alias....for you, Dylan on Cohen...

But his music was special too. Bob Dylan said recently of his peer: “When people talk about Leonard, they fail to mention his melodies, which to me, along with his lyrics, are his greatest genius,’ Dylan said. ‘Even the counterpoint lines—they give a celestial character and melodic lift to every one of his songs. As far as I know, no one else comes close to this in modern music. His gift or genius is in his connection to the music of the spheres.”

If you are interested, this is repeated tonight

Thanks kxk. I missed the doco but I'll find it somewhere. Bob's made me want to listen to him even more now. :) I've always meant to have a listen because of the comparison to Bob. I love the wordy stuff.

Here's another wordy one. So pretty ...

Kate Bush: Before the Dawn

Rating:

When Kate Bush made her comeback at the Hammersmith Apollo two years ago, fans hoped her 22-night residency would lead to a resumption of her music career.

Britain’s most influential female singer had even hinted as much. ‘It’s an adventure that’s only just begun,’ she teased.

A UK tour was suggested. There were rumours of Glastonbury. A DVD celebrating the London concerts was mooted . . . but it all came to nothing.
What we do have, just in time for Christmas, is a triple live album based on that triumphant 2014 return.

Credited to The K Fellowship in a nod to Kate’s impressive backing musicians, including her teenage son Bertie, it’s a faithful memento of the Before The Dawn shows, with no added studio trickery.

The album can’t recapture the full impact of a spectacular, theatrical experience that featured gyrating fish skeletons, ocean waves made from fluttering silk sheets and a dancer who sliced up the stage with a chainsaw, but it does reiterate Bush’s status as one of music’s true originals.

He isnt really what I listen to but i liked his pop stuff like raspberry beret and that other one. I guess purple rain is his big thing. Anyway heres one which represents a job lot of really talented people while i get a reasonably serious prince vidya
