Thankyou for all your votes and comments. I wouldn't have kept writing this blog if it wasn't for you.
Last night Mum was listening to Mark Vincent (Australia’s Got Talent winner in 2009) and I caught a listen to his version of Hallelujah. While it was good, I can’t go pass Jeff Buckley’s version.
He made it his own! He made it sound like it was from the 1800’s. I always get a picture of a king with his queen and get transported back there for a moment. You can listen to it here:
Hallelujah
Jeff Buckley
But my favourite JB song would have to be Lover You Should’ve Come Over! Like Hallelujah, it came from Grace, Buckley’s 1994 album Grace which has become a cult classic.
At the start of Lover, You Should’ve Come Over there’s a sailor feel to the song; maybe taking the listener on a journey through waves of emotions; happiness, sadness, love, loss, anger, yearning and so on.
Jeff Buckley was a brilliant poet who made timelines classics that told stories of life’s journeys.
Today coming back from Nan’s I hopped onto Bigpond to read the news. What a big shock I got when I read that Powderfinger will be a thing of the past after October. Is it April Fools Day still? What the…??

Stylo by Gorillaz is a groundbreaking video yet alone having a very cool performance by Bruce Willis. Gorillaz have turned their cartoon characters into 2D figures who involve themselves in a car chase through a desert.
The video is just amazing! It is a bit like a Quentin Tarantino film with fast cars and guns blazing. It also has supernatural themes in it which makes the video even more cool. However, I’m guessing we won’t get to see it on Video Hits. A bit of violence is far worse than sexualising women afterall
This morning on Sunrise (an Aussie morning show) they showed a photo of George Michael and a friend enjoying each other’s company.
Really? Is this newsworthy? There would be many rock stars, pop stars, movie stars and sport stars donating their time and money to charities but we seem to thrive on stories about sex and drugs.
