Leonard Cohen ukelele covers subculture

[altariel]

Hallelujah, George Formby style.

I wound up on this blog via the Riddley Walker annotations site, where I also learned that there is a DVD of a theatre production of RW, performed in Waterford in November 2007. Who said you can't learn anything off the internet? And why do I not have a Riddley Walker icon?

Also, via shezan: excellent piece by Johann Hari on excess and recession in Dubai.

I hope his next trick will be When I'm Cleaning Windows in the style of Leonard Cohen.

It's a lovely performance... though the joke is lost on me, as I've no idea what the original sounds like.
