An abbreviated music rant

[winter]

Whenever I see someone attributing the lyrics of "Hallelujah" to Jeff Buckley or Rufus Wainwright, I shudder. People. Leonard Cohen. He needs more love, really.

And this rant would be more impressive if I had an mp3 of Hallelujah instead of just a crappy tape cassette copy of someone else's mix tape, but I don't. So have The Future instead. Because "Give me crack and anal sex" is the motto of online fandom.

The Future is a well-awesome song. I used to have the mp3 of Cohen's Hallelujah but I appear to have misplaced it. :-? I personally prefer Jeff's version but credit where it's due, man.

I'll easily admit that Cohen can sing one note and his guitar work isn't stellar either, but the man has a magical way with words. Since yesterday I've managed to remember where I stashed my Cohen CDs, too... *is happy & listening to Tower of Song*
