NUEVAS VACACIONES
2008-07-16 21:29:00 Bueno, dentro de unas horas estaré de nuevo ausente. El motivo no es otro que otra semanita de vacaciones, que implica otra semanita sin publicar nada. ¿Podréis soportarlo?Para que nadie se dedique a hacer cávalas, o apuestas, o a inventar posibles cosas que no pueden ser, aquí os dejo el motivo de mi ausencia.Si os portáis bien, a lo mejor a mi vuelta os hago un resumen de los conciertos que vea, muy al estilo del que hice aquí con el Summercase del año pasado.Que lo paséis bien, que yo lo haré mejor.

Leonard Cohen - O Regresso a Portugal (E ao Mundo)
2008-03-11 16:32:00 A notÃcia de hoje do RaÃzes e Antenas não é muito alargada (e basta a imensidão da obra e da vida do seu protagonista para que seja uma GRANDE notÃcia): depois de quinze anos de afastamento dos palcos internacionais - quinze anos em que se isolou num mosteiro budista (ele, que é judeu de nascimento!), em que redescobriu o amor (ele, que de relações falhadas fez a maior parte do seu cancioneiro!) e em que se apaixonou pelo prazer de compor e fazer música com outras pessoas (ele, o solitário-mor!) -, o mestre canadiano da folk Leonard Cohen volta a fazer uma grande digressão internacional e, agora a notÃcia, dá um concerto em Lisboa, dia 19 de Julho. Segundo as fontes consultadas pelo R&A - o Juramento Sem Bandeira e o Grandes Sons - ainda não há local definido para o concerto, se bem que se fale da Gare MarÃtima de Alcântara. Só uma nota: vi-o, ao Leonard Cohen, em meados dos anos 80, acompanhado por uma banda quase de hard-rock manhoso, numa noite de Carnaval. Eu,...

2008-01-22 00:22:00 Gary Glitter, currently serving a three year sentence in a Vietnamese prison for mollesting 11 and 12-year-old girls, was taken to a hospital earlier in the month because of stomach illness and slow heartbeat (it was originally reported as a heart attack). He is due to be released in August. Leonard Cohen will tour for the first time in fifteen years with reported dates being scheduled in the U.S. and Canada for May and Europe during the summer. The Sensational Alex Harvey Band's future is up in the air after the sudden departure of guitarist Zal Cleminson. He made the statement, "It is with some sadness but a greater sense of relief that I have to inform everyone of my decision to stop playing guitar and performing for good, my decision is final"The group has posted a poll on their website to gauge the fans interest in a new band lineup.

Second only to Bob Dylan (and perhaps Paul Simon), he commands the... [Please Visit the blog for the full post...]

Leonard Cohen- Songs Of
2007-12-14 02:42:00 At a time when a growing number of pop songwriters were embracing a more explicitly poetic approach in their lyrics, the 1967 debut album from Leonard Cohen introduced a songwriter who, rather than being inspired by "serious" literature, took up music after establishing himself as a published author and poet. The ten songs on Songs of Leonard Cohen were certainly beautifully constructed, artful in a way few (if any) other lyricists would approach for some time, but what's most striking about these songs isn't Cohen's technique, superb as it is, so much as his portraits of a world dominated by love and lust, rage and need, compassion and betrayal. While the relationship between men and women was often the framework for Cohen's songs (he didn't earn the nickname "the master of erotic despair" for nothing), he didn't write about love; rather, Cohen used the never-ending thrust and parry between the sexes as a jumping off point for his obsessive investigation of humanity's occasi...

give me more Leonard Cohen - Cohen tradotto da G. Iannozzi
2007-07-18 19:53:00 Leonard Cohen sulla Poesia da un'intervista rilasciata ad Arthur Kurzweil per The Jewish Book News Interview "Nella sua forma più pura, la poesia è come il polline delle api. Ecco la mia idea della poesia. Il miele della poesia è dappertutto. E’ negli scritti del National Geographic, quando un concetto è assolutamente chiaro e bello; è nei film; è dappertutto, perché ciò che noi chiamiamo 'poesia' ha un significato davvero universale. Poesia è quando qualcosa suona in maniera particolare. Forse non sempre possiamo definirla poesia, ma quel che sperimentiamo in determinati momenti è poesia. E’ qualcosa che ha a che fare con la verità e il ritmo e la fede e la musica. Da ragazzino ero completamente affascinato da questa materia. Me ne innamorai nel momento stesso in cui ne feci la conoscenza. Quando m’imbattevo in qualcosa che era espressa in modo p...

LEONARD COHEN, DA 40 ANNI POETA E CANTAUTORE
2007-04-26 08:00:00 A 40 anni dal suo debutto come cantautore nel 1967, esce questa settimana in Italia un cofanetto con le prime tre raccolte di Leonard Cohen, affascinante esponente della canzone d?autore, nato a Montréal il 21 settembre 1934 e famoso in tutto il mondo per i suoi brani intensi e romantici.Il cofanetto comprende gli album "Songs of Leonard Cohen", "Songs from a room" e "Songs of Love and Hate" oltre a cinque brani inediti, tra i quali due registrati con David Crosby.Fra le canzoni più famose, nei CD troviamo ?Suzanne?, ?Bird on the wire?, ?Famous blue raincoat?, ?So long Marianne? solo per citarne alcune.E non è finita qui. Secondo il Venerdì di Repubblica della scorsa settimana, Philip Glass dedicherà a Leonard Cohen il concerto spettacolo ?Book of Longing? tratto dall?omonima raccolta di poesie del cantautore (Il Libro del desiderio ?

Leonard Cohen - Songs From A Room
2007-03-23 13:58:00 MM classics Like his first album, Leonard Cohen’s second, "Songs From A Room", is notable more for the songs than the singing. Cohen has a superb sense of lyrics and this new album makes compelling listening. The atmosphere throughout is subdued, the songs simply arranged and presented so that the focal point is the word. Cohen, in fact, seems to have taken over from Dylan somewhat in this area

Leonard Cohen Redux - Astrology, Storytelling, Dance, Movie-making, the Dis
2007-03-04 15:06:04 Astrology in Real Life...Silverfoot left this great comment on the blog about the film, ?Ladies and Gentlemen… Mr. Leonard Cohen? : ??watched it in Documentary film class last year. and I am a big Cohen fan, but even taking my bias into account, that film is brilliant. So much of it is set up in a kind of candid camera style, like the cameraman is just recording the events as they happen, but then they let Cohen subvert that, and reveal the constructed nature of documentary film. So for me, it was the ?CAVEAT EMPTOR? bit that really grabbed me. His need to be a double agent working for the audience, to show them the film is not entirely ‘devoid of the con.’ There’s something vaguely Virgo/Neptune going on there?needing to be upfront with the ‘truth,’ but doing it stylishly.? Silverfoot, my sister is a Pisces and a dancer / choreographer. And she explained once how difficult and frustrating it was to work so hard to make something magic (a dance) ...
Ladies and Gentlemen? Mr. Leonard Cohen - For the Eclipse in Virgo
2007-03-04 09:05:10 Outtakes and Various Other Sundries...Last night I watched ?Ladies and Gentlemen… Mr. Leonard Cohen? filmed in 1965 and I enjoyed on many levels. I have to say I really like watching this stuff filmed when Pluto and Uranus were conjunct because it?s imbued with this powerful energy. The movie is documentary? the camera follows Cohen around as he meets, greets, sleeps, walks, ponders and bathes. It?s well worth a look for the poetry and for the retro fashion, but I was especially struck by the ending. Cohen is a Virgo with Pisces Moon. He has Venus in Virgo conjunct Neptune at the same degree so there is another Virgo/Pisces exchange. And after the movie ends, there?s an addendum that has Cohen analyzing himself on film. It?s very Virgoan but what killed me is he was remarking on how remarkable it was to see himself sleeping. The thing is, he?s not really sleeping in the movie. He?s only pretending (Neptune) to be asleep. And you see him stare at his ?faking being asleep? ...
LEONARD COHEN, UN MÚSICO DE CULTO
2007-03-02 19:34:00 EL SILENCIO HECHO MÚSICANo sé dónde, hace ya bastante tiempo, lei una vez que a quien le gusta una canción de Leonard Cohen (Canadá, 1934) le gustan todas. Y eso le pasa a mucha gente, pero creo que con bastante razón, tratándose de este artista tan singular, bohemio, poeta, escritor, cineasta y músico de sus propias canciones. De ascendencia judía, Cohen ha hecho todo un peregrinaje religioso que le ha llevado a ser ordenado monje budista y a vivir en un monasterio zen durante nueve años. Este cierto misticismo de su propia vida, se contagia a su obra musical, iniciada en 1968. Oir una canción de Leonard Cohen es como escuchar al silencio convertido en música.En este vídeo, Cohen canta una de sus canciones más conocidas: Suzanne, en la que cuenta una historia de amor que sucede junto a un río y la combina con una personal visión de Jesús. Suzzane te lleva abajo, a su sitio junto al río... En fin, la grabación es de 1979; antigua, sí, pero ya está ahí el Leonard Cohen de siempre, fi...
Leonard Cohen - Songs Of Love And Hate
2007-02-22 06:00:02 It doesn’t get darker than this. Though Leonard Cohen had already established himself as the doyen of doom with his first two albums, his third, ‘Songs Of Love And Hate’, finds him kicking off the 1970s with the sharpest repudiation of the ’60s peace-and-love/flower-power ethic the world had yet seen from the “sensitive troubadour” corner ...

It is much more ambitious than Cohen’s previous efforts in terms of songwriting, but the production is nevertheless understated and tasteful. The urgent delivery and rhythmic ...
?I?m Your Man?, homenaje a Leonard Cohen
2006-12-01 15:06:04 “I’m Your Man”, el concierto de homenaje que fue realizado hace varios meses al músico y poeta canadiense, Leonard Cohen, ya está disponible en DVD. Durante este concierto es posible ver a diferentes músicos interpretando sus propias versiones de algunas de las canciones más representativas de Cohen, entre ellos aparecen Nick Cave, Antony, Jarvis Cocker, U2, Perla Batalla y Rufus Wainwright quien, por cierto, ya había hecho una aceptable versión de “Across the Universe” de Los Beatles para el soundtrack de la película “I am Sam“. ¿Quién es Leonard Cohen? Para quienes saben poco o nada de este gran músico, resulta recomendable leer un artículo de Gotardo J. González, quien lo describe como “el músico de la sempiterna tristeza, el cantante de la voz cada vez más ronca, el poeta romántico, sarcástico, comprometido. Su influencia musical, estilística y literaria ha perdurado -pese a la lacra del puntual fracaso comercial- desde el comienzo...

I Have Not Lingered In European Monosteries - Leonard Cohen
2006-11-14 23:30:02 I Have Not Lingered In European Monosteriesand discovered among the tall grasses tombs of knightswho fell as beautifully as their ballads tell; I have not parted the grassesor purposefully left them thatched. I have not held my breathso that I might hear the breathing of Godor tamed my heartbeat with an exercise,or starved for visions.Although I have watched him oftenI have not become the heron,leaving my body on the shore,and I have not become the luminous trout,leaving my body in the air. I have not worshipped wounds and relics,or combs of iron,or bodies wrapped and burnt in scrolls. I have not been unhappy for ten thousands years.During the day I laugh and during the night I sleep.My favourite cooks prepare my meals,my body cleans and repairs itself,and all my work goes well. Leonard Cohen (b. 1934, ~)

Não me demorei em mosteiros europeus - Leonard Cohen
2006-11-14 23:30:02 Não me demorei em mosteiros europeusnem descobri por entre as ervas altas campas de cavaleirosque caíram tão formosamente quanto as suas baladas contam;não separei as ervasnem intencionalmente as deixei cobertas de colmo.Não libertei o meu pensamento para que vagueasse e aguardassenaquelas grandiosas distânciasentre as montanhas de neve e os pescadores,como uma lua,ou uma concha debaixo da água que corre.Nãso contive a minha respiraçãopara que pudesse ouvir o fôlego de Deus,nem domei o bater do meu coração com um exercício,nem tive fome de visões.Embora o tenha observado muitas vezesn~ºao me transformei na garça,deixando o meu corpo na praia,e não me transformei na truta luminosa,deixando o meu corpo no ar.Não venerei feridas e relíquias,nem pentes de ferro,nem corpos envoltos e queimados em pergaminhos.Não sou infeliz há dez mil anos.Durante o dia rio-me e durante a noite durmo.Os meus cozinheiros favoritos preparam as minhas refeições,e todo o meu trabalho corre bem.Leonardo Cohen...
