Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah


No No No...please don't misunderstand it's a journal about God.

I am never religious at all. If there must be one god that I should believe, I guess it's something called "heart".

Hallelujah is one of the famous song by Leonard Cohen. I've listened his original version a few time but the song didn't really touch my heart so much until I have tried Rufus Wainwright's version. That becomes one of my favorite songs all time. Here you can check the other versions that I love too.

Hallelujah - Rufus Wainwright
Hallelujah - K D Lang
Hallelujah - Chris Botti
Hallelujah - Kathryn Williams

Sold On Song - PSB

Listen some live songs of PetShopBoys from BBC's Sold On Song ( Realplayer required).


Or try here ( 2 favorite songs from this live - "You only tell me you love me when you're drunk" and "Numb" ).

The lyric of NUMB is in comment...it's a very thoughtful lyric that I repeat again these days.

I WANNA BE NUMB

Helios - Eingya


Would it be something you want to do in summer ?

This album is like a soundtrack of summer days ...

Coast Off (mp3)

The Toy Garden (mp3)


This mid summer dream is brought by Goldmund or Helios also known as "Keith Kenniff".

ELUVIUM - An Accidental Memory In The Case Of Death"

There are misunderstanding all the time. Just like you may not like to try this ablum -

- when the music is classified as Indie and the name of the artist is never heard
- when the album title is kind of depressive
- when the album cover is too dark and gray

then, you may ignore and miss the chance to listen one of those fine music. here is a very good example.

Unlike his other albums, this '04 release is a solo piano record with simply a piano and the microphone but the result is so beautiful and breath-taking. They remind me the music of Satie.

Who Loves The Sun


This is a lovely original film score though I couldn't say I am enthusiastic to listen Portastatic's previous albums.

Sometimes, we can only follow good album but not the artist because the music theme can be very different album by album for some artists.

anyway, try some music and hope to see the sun soon again cos it's been gray sky for long long time.

Alexi Murdoch





Time Without Consequence - Alexi Murdoch

It's so true that his music and voice is very similiar to Nick Drake but it's not any bad comment at all. At least, his debut album is almost a classic in '06.

Go to his Myspace to try some album tracks
