Did anyone look at the photos on the newly designed website (leonardcohen.com) under the heading "Listening to Leonard"? Is it just me, or are they rather, um, strange?JJR wrote:The official Leonard Cohen website has just been revamped. Could the imagery of the new pages be a hint of the cover artwork for Old Ideas?
Re: OLD IDEAS - THE NEW ALBUM - January 31, 2012
some of them do remind me of myself when I listen to Leonard, but I wonder whether they are really photos of people listening to Leonard or photos of people who LOOK like they MIGHT be listening to Leonard.LisaLCFan wrote:Did anyone look at the photos on the newly designed website (leonardcohen.com) under the heading "Listening to Leonard"?

btw, the woman lying on the couch, even though we can't see her face, looks VERY much like Charlotte Gainsbourg.
on topic, I so hope the new album will come with a heavy booklet, like the remastered editions of the first three albums.. After three years of touring and seven years since the last album, there ought to be a lot to be written in there..
"Oh chosen love, Oh frozen love
Oh tangle of matter and ghost
Oh darling of angels, demons and saints
And the whole broken-hearted host
Gentle this soul..."

On the subject of the photos look at the classic photos and what is in my opinion is very shabby editing on the first oneLisaLCFan wrote:Did anyone look at the photos on the newly designed website (leonardcohen.com) under the heading "Listening to Leonard"?

I agree Lisa the "Listening to Leonard ones" are strange to say the least

The naked woman in the fireplace really needs to seek professional help, if that's her preferred position for listening to Leonard!Stamatina wrote:some of them do remind me of myself when I listen to Leonard, but I wonder whether they are really photos of people listening to Leonard or photos of people who LOOK like they MIGHT be listening to Leonard.

Lisa, I have to agree with you about the very strange photos of people 'Listening to Leonard' on the new website 'leonardcohen.com.
I think we need a new section for comments on this new site.

It seems to me, by the name of the photo file, whobyfire-megangage.jpg that this is an artist's tableau of LC's lyrics.LisaLCFan wrote: The naked woman in the fireplace really needs to seek professional help, if that's her preferred position for listening to Leonard!
Don't blame the model. Blame the artist.

Re: OLD IDEAS - THE NEW ALBUM - January 31, 2012
I do not know if it's true,but in some Slovakian internet site I read that the new album should be 10 new songs, which so far have never been issued. Is this true? 
Re: OLD IDEAS - THE NEW ALBUM - January 31, 2012
Ah, well, that helps explain it a bit. Perhaps "Inspirations from Listening to Leonard" would be a more accurate heading for these photos? (By the way, sorry for hijacking this thread! I am very excited about the new album!)bridger15 wrote:It seems to me, by the name of the photo file, whobyfire-megangage.jpg that this is an artist's tableau of LC's lyrics.
Speaking of the new album, LEONKA! Read this thread, there is all sorts of information about what will and will not be on the album.
Re: OLD IDEAS - THE NEW ALBUM - January 31, 2012
Well. That is my very last day of work, too... my actual retirement day.
How sweet if they will actually coincide .
Hope the scheduled date works out, in any case!
I'm so looking forward to this album

I can tell it's been awhile since I've been on the Forum when I read something and look where to hit "like"! Patiently awaiting all the album information, and will now wait a bit longer on a pre-order. Thanks Jarkko!

Meanwhile, the CD has now appeared as a pre-order on http://www.zavvi.com for £8.95 (free delivery). This is the site that got Adam's CD to me 2 days before the official release date for the same price.
This is the picture that Zavvi are showing:
I love this photo - even if it has nothing to do with the CD!
