I don't know why I could never get into this guy (and nick cave). So many people have told me that liking Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits equates to liking Buckley and Cave, but I don't see it. Can you comment more on him?</p>

I'm a big Nick Cave fan, but i didn't agree with the usual comment that if you like Cohen you're gonna love Cave,yes they aresimilarities like a cavernous voice, dark atomospheres and great lyrics but i found Cave more of a crooner, a storyteller, a theatrical narrator, more performance artistthan a proper singer, his lyrics are often darker and related to fictional characters/situations and his music is more agresive and noisy, Cohen is more focused, more mature, way more poetical and visionaire, his music is less complex, serving just as support to the lyrics.
Faust- Saul Williams is awesome. If you haven't heard it, listen to Blackaliscious, "Blazing arrow" and turn it to Release part 1,2,3. Saul does the verse on part 2 of the song and it is great. <DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Currently listening to;</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV> Tom Waits-Soldier's things</DIV><DIV> Explosion in the Sky-A poor man's memory</DIV><DIV> Nancy Wilson-Elevator beat (from Vanilla sky)</DIV><DIV>I've been in a thoughful, reflectful mood lately.
