Now that I think about it...

Remember last night’s entry, when I said that Rufus Wainright’s “Hallelujah” was used as background music in an episode of Sports Night? Well, this afternoon I suddenly realized (while thinking about other things) that I’d actually been remembering Shrek. Also, the song was actually written by Leonard Cohen. And the version used in Shrek was performed by John Cale; the same version might have been used in last night’s The West Wing. So I was three kinds of wrong there.

Oh, looks like there’s a sequel to Shrek in the works.

CD Buying Spree!

NY Central Art Supply rocks! I went back today and found that they have the large size Niji waterbrush that I’ve been hunting for months!

Then (after having some shrimp curry noodle soup) I made my way down to Virgin Records to see if I could hunt up a copy of whatever Rufus Wainright album might have “Hallelujah” on it, because this was before I checked the IMDB’s entry on Shrek (see below). What I found instead was a whole bunch of CDs on sale for eights bucks a pop, and prompty bought:

• Simon & Garfunkel’s Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme and Sounds of Silence
• The Clash’s London Calling
• Ben Folds Five’s Whatever and Ever Amen
• Robert Johnson’s King of the Delta Blues Singers
