Leonard Cohen: Live, BBC Television Theatre, London, Summer 1968 (Repost)

* "There's No Reason..." and "...Goodbye" updated.

Vintage Leonard Cohen. Live at the BBC Television Theatre (aka Paris Theare), London, Summer 1968, playing songs from the essential 1967 debut, Songs of Leonard Cohen. Set broadcast on 31 August 1968. Really good quality, and nothing beats Cohen as a folkie. Must have for all Cohen fans.

An Arcade Fire Xmas

Not a big fan of the Christmas song, but when its The Arcade Fire singing it, you just have to listen. Such is the nature of high ideals.

Got this off my Singaporean friends' site. Gist on this one is the tracks were recorded at Win's 2001 Christmas party and featured Win, Regine, Dane, Brendan, Sean, Anita, Kirsten and Kyla. Tracks were given as a gift in 2002.
