“Duran Duran -- I remember the first night I was truly cognizant of the individual band members. It was the first Friday of December, 1984. My BFF Pam and I suffered the same affliction of not having cable TV and had to get our music video fix via NBC's "Friday Night Videos." I'd seen Duran Duran videos and knew their songs, but just wasn't all that into them. The video for "Do They Know It's Christmas" came on and I was like, "Pam, who is this hot guy with the long blonde hair???" "Oh, that's Simon LeBon. He's the lead singer of Duran Duran." Hmmm... "I guess that guy with the red and black shirt that says 'Duran Duran' on it is in the band, too, huh?" "Yeah, that's John Taylor. Like EVERYONE thinks he's hot." (And I remember thinking, "He's okay, I guess," LOL!) "Hey, Pam! Who's this guy back here? Shoot, I keep missing him! They just barely show him, with the amazing make-up and the gorgeous eyes???" "Oh, that's Nick Rhodes. He's in Duran Duran, too. I think he plays keyboards." Hmmm... The next video up? "Wild Boys" by Duran Duran! Just a few moments earlier, during "DTKIC," I had picked out these three men who would fill my dreams, diaries, and Duran-induced imagination for years and years to come, three talented musicians whose band's music would, from that night forward change my life forever and whose music would literally save my life more than once.”

Listen Up: Leonard Cohen - "Darkness"

Brett Warner
01/10/2012
MusicOlogy

Another new Leonard Cohen track has made its way online.

Any time you see the words "Darkness" and "Leonard Cohen" together, you know you're in for a real treat. The aforementioned song is the latest preview track from his forthcoming new album Old Ideas, out January 31... the same day as Lana Del Rey's Born To Die. (I'll give you two guess which album you're better off purchasing.)

Listen Up: Leonard Cohen - "Show Me The Place"

Take a listen:

First thoughts?

Love the plucky/gloomy guitar intro and how that electric organ creeps every so subtly into the mix. Kids, pay attention to how Mr. Cohen sings... every word feels like it weights a hundred pounds, right? Anyone can sing about the darkness, but it takes a seasoned, world weary man to really bring it home like Cohen does here. "I don't smoke no cigarette, I don't drink no alcohol, I ain't had much lovin' yet, but that's always been your call"? Forget about it.

What do you guys think of the new Leonard Cohen song(s)? Hit up our comments section below with your first reactions.

Using Spotify? Listen to Dear Heather (2004) by Leonard Cohen right here.
