It's not that they've become quite full of themselves but the collaborations with Smiley Virus have showcased the worst aspects of the band. There's people that I know who have been Lips fans since the 1980s felt the band has lost their way.<br /><br />I haven't had a chance to listen to Leonard Cohen's entire catalog but I hope to soon but I really either need a new laptop or find something to fix my sound in my current laptop (which does work fine).thevoid99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055459287396592446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-77276778900412845712017-01-31T13:51:40.858-08:002017-01-31T13:51:40.858-08:00I'm giving the Flaming Lips album a little mor...I'm giving the Flaming Lips album a little more time, though so far only one track has really interested me (not sure what it's called but it's the one that sounds like it has James Earl Jones on it).<br /><br />I know I'm in the minority, but I really like Death Of A Ladies Man.Rolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02103804480646939038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-35457296450162707852017-01-31T06:43:36.130-08:002017-01-31T06:43:36.130-08:00@The Swede: Feel free to steal the idea!

I do plan to re-listen to Leonard Cohen’s newer stuff as well this year, to see the evolution of his career. <br />You may be right about those homages, I’m not sure. It’s the opening guitar riff in the Elton John song which to me is similar.<br />Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09395044055566348346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1619249406686227577.post-39969792928547694052017-01-31T06:07:29.988-08:002017-01-31T06:07:29.988-08:00This is a good idea - one I may well pinch!

I think the last three are among his finest.<br />It's interesting to read your thoughts on 'How to Recognise a Work of Art'. I've never noticed a Elton connection, I always had the tune pegged as more of a Motown/Northern Soul homage. <br />The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.com
