Greetings, it's my first time posting in this section as I have been listening to ONLY Leonard since May, literally, and was waiting until I would get the sign to take a break and move on for a bit.

I've been discovering Martha Wainwright lately. Listening to first two albums non-stop! In her own very special way she reaches similar depths of darkness and intensity as Leonard. I first saw her on I'm Your Man and instantly liked her unusual voice, although I thought maybe it's too "sweet" sounding. Now after listening over and over again, her voice has become gritty and sorrowful. Lyrically she's painfully deep and her delivery is equally intense. I also love the instrumention.

I'd like to also check out some Rufus, and Louden, but don't know where to begin. Any suggestions?

Anyone see it when Dappy mistook Martha Wainwright for Cerys Matthews? HILARIOUS!

I have never seen anyone with a more fitting nickname ;-)
