over and over and over

I can't stop listening to the Leonard Cohen song "Halleluja".

Cohen himself, or covers by John Cale, Rufus Wainwright, and Jeff Buckley.

The best version ever, though, is here.

I do this a lot. I fix onto one song and just play the hell out of it.

Her name. HM2 Haro. I told her to seek you out and say hello from me. I also asked her to get your mailing address, as I owe you a Christmas or holiday package. Make sure I get that address from you, one way or another.

I have always loved that Cohen song, but never heard that version. I like the voice of the guy with the space between his teeth.

I totally do the same thing, listening to songs over and over. Currently I am stuck on "Hey Baby" by Stephen Marley and Mos Def. I think you would like it (lyrically), might be appropriate to play for Cate.

That's Kurt Nilsen. He won the Norweigan/Euro/World Idol contest.

How is Carl's knee? I heard he hurt it somehow.

Ive been listening to "Light field" By Glenn Branca off the Ascention over and over.. its really repetitive and noisy.. (This is the guy who inspired and worked with both Lee Ranaldo and Thurston Moore)

You can hear it off his unofficial fan page on myspace
