Hallelujah
Published March 30th, 2008 in .No Plugs tonight
Sorry.
You are listening too . . .
Hallelujah, one of the most amazing songs ever created, original is Leonard Cohen, this has been remade 1000’s of time, maybe as much as Yesterday by the Beatles. This version is pretty famous, by John Cale, and was in the Shrek Movie, played of course during the Wedding Scene. John Cale is most famous for being a founding member of The Velvet Underground.
I am going to be playing a few versions of this song over the next few days, including my favorite version . . guess which one.
Dear Malach
OK, I am making up for yesterday!
- Cash writes: Dear Malach, How would you prefer to die, mauling or head on pole? Malach would prefer not to die. He actually wants to live forever. Why, I enjoy life too much, and want to see what the world looks like 1000 years from now. I am working on a formula, I don’t even mind getting old. If the choice was given to me, it would be quick, like a nuclear explosion or gunshot to the head. Of you choices, I would choose head on a pole, obviously you would be decapitating me, and that would be pretty quick, the Guillotine has always fascinated me as a way to die.
- Angryman writes: Dear Malach, When will “Dear Malach” get featured in the Boston Herald? Well, the Herald is in away Boston’s version of the New York Post, so it is an appropriate place for it. As for getting in there? Send my blog to them. And we have: Dear Malach, Why too busy to answer all the Dear Malach questions from yesterday? Let’s see, took the kids to see Horton Hears a Who (review tomorrow at The WoW), and then went to Dr. Murk’s for geek night, got home at 11:15PM, and I am anal about getting the blog up before midnight, and I was tired.
- Mike writes: Dear Malach, Is Dear Malach anything at all like Dear Abby? Not really, I am much pretty than Abagail Van Buren and look better in a dress. I am also not suffering from Alzheimers, and my daughter have to write the answers, if I remember correctly.
- Phoebe Faye writes: Dear Malach, Does Chuck Norris whimper when you threaten him with your mighty Malachness? Does he he beg for mercy and offer to give you sexual favors? Do his chest hairs droop in fair at the very thought of you? Pheobe, you have never scene a man evacuate his bladder or colon as fast as Chuck does, when I come knocking. As for sexual favors, he is much too caucasian for me.
- Nibbles writes: Dear Malach, Dear Malach: When the Celtics job in the first round, are you gonna kick a baby? Wow, that ain’t gonna happen . . .
- Vincent Morris writes: Dear Malach, We could use some more superhero webcomics so you could make money to pay creators for sure. I think we are on the ball, don’t you agree? Vince, the key with websites is advertising dollars and merchandising, I only do about $30 a month on that, and it is nowhere near enough to split among my close to 30 contributers, so get more people here. I would LOVE to pay contributers for their contributions, but not pennies.
This is very interesting
With Dubya’s approval rating at all time low, beyond 911, something like this could really define his presidency, for better or worse. I will have to do some research on this (I am sure there will be a ton of this stuff at work tomorrow) and get back to you.
KMP Softball
Had our first practice today. Was a but chilly (high 40’s low 50’s) which made batting fun. In addition the field was a 1/2 inch on mud over stuff partial frozen clay . . . my cleats are a mess.
Malach’s Video of the Day
I am Malach, and Gino has magic leprechan powers!
Dear Malach,
When Angryman is nominated for president, will you consider being his VP? It will be a good gig for you because once all the skeletons come tumbling out of Angryman’s closet, you will get to be president.
I can’t believe I am going to say this considering the horrible state of the economy, but I really wish George would just leave it alone. I can’t help but have the feeling he is going to muck it up worse than it already is.
I’m with Mike. I don’t know the details, but I’ll bet you dollars to donuts that the whole thing winds up with some variation of the fox guarding the henhouse. That is the Bush Way.
So, did you stay away from Wal-Mart today? One day at a time. You can break your addiction!
You may use my “hot for the show” claim. If only I can be the official cheerleader and I get to carry pom poms.
The only way that I could see the Celtics losing in the first round would be if they had to play a team from the Western Conference. That conference is so deep that you can’t even really call a 7 beating a 2 or a 6 beating a 3 an upset.
GINO!
When will the Murk & Malach Podcast be up?
Will the new Iron Man movie be a big hit in theaters?
Mike: Good question, I will answer tonight. As for Paulsen’s economic revitalization, I need to delve into it, I am getting mixed reviews so far.
Phoebe: You could be right. I went to Walmart yesterday.
Bridget: Go for it, film it!
Angry: Yeah, unlike the NFL (one and done) fluke games will not let you win and advanced. The only teams in the East that I give a shot to knock off the C’s? Orlando and Detroit, but I don’t know if the can do it in 7. As for the West? LA and San Antonio match up well with the C’s, but the C’s are also 21 - 5 vs. the West this year.
Dr. John: A lover of yours?
Rag: Hopefully this weekend.
The Guillotine? Well, I guess that would fit my requirement of “never seeing it coming” (because they make you face the ground/basket) but I would know that was coming. When I die, however it may be, I want it to be quick. I don’t even care if it’s spectacularly frightening for others to see (like explosion or falling space junk), so long as it’s *poof* and the inner me is left standing there going WTF.
While we’re on the subjects to death and questions, burial preferences? Personally, I want to be freeze-dried, placed on a pedestal in my niece’s living room, and decorated for all the holidays. Seriously. I’ve been telling her this for years. She takes solace in that being an illegal was to dispose of human remains.
Think there’s any chance we can make that legal?
Oh yeah, this Hallelujah is a really great song!
PS: If Angryman runs for President, I’ll vote for you
Whoa - the video of the day brings back some awful memories….
Thanks for that.
AngryMan can’t run for preisdent. There are too many pictures of him & Atlas brown docking on the internet.
Dear Malach
would you let Bush kiss your baby?
Great song that was in a great movie.
BuzzBill: Cremated myself, I don’t want to take up too much land
Mother Hen: Spanks
Tiff: AB regular weren’t you, I can tell
Rag: Send me some so I can post them
Toyi: All will be answered
Hungry Mom: Amazing song, great movie
