Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Excellent!
I wrote the ending to my draft today that feels like the right one, and starting going through it again from the beginning. I think I'm a week at most out from sending it to Continuum.

You go, bunk. We're still heng mai when you're famous, right? Hec, congratulations. (I believe that the Waits "Down in The Hole" was the last music beloved Wire producer Robert Colesberry heard on the planet.)

Hey, guys, a couple questions about "Hallelujah". I wasn't too impressed with the Jeff Buckley or k.d.lang versions, and I'm not sure I want to buy a whole alblum for the Rufus Wainwright. Does anyone have a version you think is clearly superior. Also, I'd swear I've heard a version with an extra line that goes:
I couldn't tell you which it was, the holy or the broken Hallelujah.
Am I crazy, or just from a parallel universe?
Oh, are there any other Shoji Meguro fans here?

I couldn't tell you which it was, the holy or the broken Hallelujah.
I'm sure I read an article a few years back that talked about all the different versions of the song and how the different artists had monkeyed with the lyrics.
I'm a fan of the John Cale version.
I have to say, there needs to be a moratorium on using that song during montages on TV shows. I wonder if we can insert that into negotiations in the writers strike?

Lenny Cohen or John Cale for me as well.

Wasn't there a link to the various Hallelujah versions over in the comedy thread? Something to do with Ugly Betty?
