Speaking of k.d. lang, read this then this. (I particularly like the sad montage in the first link. Hee.) For the record, I'm 28 and her version of "Hallelujah" is my favourite. I wish I could say that Leonard Cohen's version is, especially since some of the verses that Buckley and everyone else leave out are some of my favourites, but there's that whole synth pop element that he just didn't do well at all. I want to hear covers of all of the songs that he wrote in the 80s and 90s by other artists. The Future has great songwriting ruined by bad instrumentation. It's just Wrong.

What's the tradition of younger generations mining music from the past, anyway? I can't imagine teenagers of my parents' generation obsessing over Frank Sinatra, but half of the kids I teach are obsessed with Led Zeppelin. Is it just that the Boomers dominate our cultural landscape even now?

On that note, the latest Neil Young album is just embarrassing. I finally heard it. It makes me cringe.
