It's Neil Young's 80th birthday and I am reminded that we attended the same high-school. And that Françoise Hardy covered this song. #neilyoung

Lô Borges, MPB Legend of Clube da Esquina Fame, Dies at 73 Alongside Milton Nascimento, the singer and guitarist recorded one of the most influential and acclaimed records in Brazilian music history

Aw, Lô Borges has left us. 'Clube da Esquina' (1972) is one of those perfect, unexpected albums. Like "Exile on Main Street' but more solid and less addiction.

Would someone like to go in with me to buy Florian Schneider of Kraftwerk’s Baronia Bielefield Tandem bicycle? Current bid US $50.

I should add that I like poets who are thrown off pirate ships, rescued by dolphins and never heard from again.

The online launch of my new collection, Men of the Same Name, is Tuesday 4 November, 7pm in the UK, 3pm in Toronto. Jim Johnstone is hosting and will I hope talk with me about poetry. It will be better than New York but not as good as Montreal.
