Have you heard this track from Leonard Cohen's soon-to-be-release new album? Soulful, gravelly and playfully dark, like he's winking at death... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/11/leonard-cohens-darkness_n_1198939.html Mournful, what a great word for this lovely idea.

Which I haven't. And yeah, "Fineas and Ferb" are also new to me. :) The new Mournful also seems to be a bit rockist ... I'm at a loss to explain why. Wait, no I'm not: "Haphazard" It's a system!

The new Mournful also seems to be a bit rockist … I’m at a loss to explain why.

Wait, no I’m not: “Haphazard”

It’s a system!

Nora was watching Fineas and Ferb the other day and a mad scientist character sang this little ditty about Christmas. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvZ0KmPNAk8 This is the nature of my musical consumption these days, so I'm looking forward to a new Mournful chapter. I was certain that Low Anthem would make the cut this year, but I'm noticing a much more rock-approach to the 2010 collection. Quality choices as always.
