i love leonard cohen I DO. and i love his voice and hallelujah is probably? the best song ever written. and the original w mr. cohen singing should be preserved for all future generations etc etc. EXCEPT. it is my personal opinion that i’ve never heard a version of hallelujah that sounded RIGHT. not the original. not jeff buckley. none.

*Kate McKinnon as Hilary Clinton voice* UH OH SOMETHINGS WROOOOOOONG

[newsworth]

     @tahitiwoke said:   five times kissed 🔪🔪 but maybe platonic besties 🔪🔪 or maybe not 🔪🔪

one.    of all the ways for them to make their snl debut,  this wouldn’t be chris’s first choice.   there’s fleeting moments that tease towards a bit more sophisticated humor and chris catches himself fighting a smile once or twice,   but it’s primarily meant to be an on the nose commentary on claire hale leading what kate mckinnon dressed as a reporter refers to as “ most operatically horny display in politics since the clinton administration, “  with overdrawn silences made less silent by the rousing laughter of the audience as the sexual tension builds in time with the music.  

the tightly framed close ups of suggestive looks amount to the guest star who’s meant to be phil  ( what he lacks in resemblance he makes up for with the same enthusiasm he’d brought to his lip sync battle,  which chris had thought done britney some real justice )  grabbing colin jost by a tie that chris would have never worn on his neck in real life ,   and ...    

“  wow.  “   chris’s voice startles the trio of chuckling interns into slamming down on the space bar of the keyboard and pausing the youtube clip of the sketch right as they start to see some tongue.   “  they’re really going for it.  “   the three of them turn,  red faced and apologizing throughout the coughing fit that had become of their laughter,  just in time to catch phil’s approach at chris’s shoulder.    “  hey.   you catch this?  “   chris says to him and watches every stage of grief pass across the each of the interns face as they part to make space for phil’s looming figure to lean in towards the computer screen.   a few moments pass before the chief of staff says anything,   and when he does,  it’s only to complain:   that guy doesn’t look anything like me. 

two.    “  holy shit!  “   chris’s hand took what slack it could find at the front of phil’s shirt and wound it tightly into his fist.   it’s a one hander,  a downcourt hail mary that sinks the net at the last stroke of midnight.   the sound of the buzzer through the tv is eclipsed by the uproar of that becomes of the bar.

now,   phil doesn’t give as much of a shit about basketball,  and chris is mindful enough of that to feel a little grateful that his truimph is enough to propel them both off of their barstools.  his smile catches the apple of phil’s cheek with a celebratory smack as peanut shells rain down like wedding rice.

three.  there’s a prickliness in phil’s broody mumbling that is usually reserved for things that fall under the claire and i had a fight category,   which chris has expressed in the past is hard for him to be entirely objective about so there’s just shit phil doesn’t bring up to him.  shit that chris doesn’t feel secure enough in their friendship to run the risk of repeating that two week long freeze out by prying after.   

whatever it was this time had phil’s near drunken deadweight hanging off of chris’s side in a way that was painfully awkward with their height disparity.   they’d barely made it through chris’s front door and the trek from the foyer to the bedroom felt miles long.  one step down,  twenty more to go,  and phil’s body was already swaying its weight onto his outside foot,  almost sending them into the console table where chris had just deposited his keys.  

“  you have to work with me here,  phil.  “    chris said.   

phil straightened his spine and shaded his brow under a two finger salute before using the full extent of his ungodly fucking height to survey the area.  “  this isn’t my place.  “   “  nothing gets past you.  “   chris bent down to help phil step out of his shoes.   “  mine was closer.  “   there was a turning point where phil stopped being consoled by the top gun soundtrack and got fussier the longer he had to sit in the car,   so chris made an executive decision.  there was some back and forth about whether or not phil was going to let chris offer him the bed that got settled by chris having to swear on someone’s grave  ( he gets the feeling that phil just picked a name,  any name,  because they don’t have a tonya in common )   that he really did like sleeping on his own couch.   then,  mercifully,   phil planted face first into the mattress.  at first it seemed as though he fell asleep in that same instant,  but then he groaned at the sound of chris’s wastebasket sliding across the floor towards the head of the bed.   “  i won’t throw up.  “  “  just don’t do it on my bed.  “    “  i will not throw up.  “    “  i believe you.  “   that doesn’t even sound true to chris’s own ears.   “  bathrooms through that door.  “   something phil already knows,  but a reminder can’t hurt.   “  there’s water and an aspirin on the nightstand.   i’ll be up for a while.  come get me if you need something.  “   he’s almost out the bedroom door.   “  chris?  “   phil lifts himself up onto his arms and turns to look at chris from over his shoulder. “  yeah?  “ they sit there for a moment,  phil’s expression softly obscured under the darkness but with one eye narrowing against the glow of the street light coming in from the window.  chris waits,  and he realizes he might wait all night if phil needed him to even if he would never let phil do the same for him.  what he gets in return for his patience is phil’s sloppy grin turning into an air kiss,  a wink.

that was a little too cute for chris not to grin back.  he catches the kiss with one hand and tucks the gesture in his back pocket with a wink of his own before turning the light back off.   “  sleep tight,  maverick.  “   “  g’night,  goose.  “ you shake my nerves and you rattle my brain.  even after he closes the door,  chris can hear him humming into the pillow.   too much love drives a man insane.   four.   "  what is it about your attraction to phil coulson that makes you uncomfortable?  “ dr. garrick is stoutly built.   his face has aged into a perpetual frown of intense contemplation over a set of deep set eyes that glister with their acquired intelligence and curiosity for more,   and he’s been chris’s therapist since the shooting in dallas a few years ago.   something about garrick reminds chris of his grandfather,  a man he’s never met in the flesh and only knows through the stories told by his mother from before she’d run away from home.   connecting with a therapist is not something that came very easily to him.   it was a great deal of trial and error for garrick and him get to the point where they are now. “  when i say attraction ...     i’m not speaking of a strictly sexual,   or physical attraction at all.  “   garrick clarifies with a wave of his hand.   “  the ...    incident you’re describing sounds a little more complicated than that.  “ the panic attack had come out of nowhere.  in the dark of his office he’d found the empty cave he’d made of the back of cassidy’s head,   claire’s face slack and empty through a stain glass mosaic of blood and bone,   only she couldn’t see him back.   the air was no good and sour as it left his lungs in scatters until phil set his hand on chris’s chest and willed his breathing towards a measure of five beats with the low steadiness of his voice.   cassidy’s been dead for almost two years.   he doesn’t know why the image of him had suddenly come back like that,  or what had warmly turned his mind away from that lapse in reality when phil settled him with a stare.   some of the details had to rearranged in his admission to garrick,  obviously,  but chris was better at omission than he had been before he took the job at the white house. 

the couch in garrick’s office reminds chris of the one he has in his living room at home.  the yield of the leather is right at that sweet spot that he appreciates but getting comfortable still feels like something he’s having to talk himself into.   as the moments continue to pass without much of anything offered from chris’s side of the room,   garrick shifts in his chair,   resting his hand on the knee that crosses over the other.   the notepad he uses is a ridiculously tiny thing that fits entirely in his palm.   one of those richly green,  tactical notebooks that doesn’t hold more than a hundred sheets,  and chris has only seen him write anything inside it a handful of times.

“  hearing you talk about it,   i’m reminded of..    other times you’ve expressed a struggle to identify the,   um ...   i think you described it as the thrill of your own vulnerability,  the intention behind it.  “ chris becomes reminded of them too,  even before garrick recalls them aloud.   “  the nature of your relationship with audrey shifted quite ...   dramatically,  because you had allowed her further into your life when you felt no judgement from her for your relapse.   we haven’t discussed it very much but i think you had a similar experience with your friend,   grace?  “

“  i’ve never wanted to sleep with grace.  “  giving garrick claire’s real name wasn’t an option when they started to broach certain discussions that fell outside of the realm of the assassination attempt,  and he was obviously quite limited in his ability to be perfectly candid about how much deeper their relationship ran than what was easily explainable.   easy isn’t the point of therapy.   he knows that.   garrick knew as much as chris felt he could safely tell him and still yield what he considered to be useable results. “  keep in mind that a desire for intimacy doesn’t start or stop at sex,   chris,   but grace is another situation where you were drawn to the security of having not been rejected for having allowed yourself to be seen in a certain light that you don’t typically afford to people.  “   again,   chris falls silent,  pensively chewing on the inside of his cheek as though that was where he was meant to find the truth inside that morsel of thought,  so garrick continues.   “  it may be difficult to make that distinction if most other times you’ve faced a situation like this has been with someone who had those certain expectations of you afterwards,   the way audrey did.   but i think that’s a fairer estimation of what you’re struggling with,   here.  “   

he knows how much garrick hates to be the one doing all the talking during these sessions,   how counterproductive it is to the whole point and moreso a waste of three hundred dollars for the hour,   so chris clears his throat.  “  that makes sense.  “   he scratches at a phantom itch of the word seen where it sits just behind his ear.   “  it was just ...   it felt really intimate.   when we locked eyes.  “   

“  that’s not surprising.   you’re familiar with the expression that the eyes are the window to the soul.  i like to consider how the optic nerves serve as something of a natural extension of the brain.  that when two people are capable of looking at each other while willingly stripping themselves of their private defenses,   it’s something like ...   a kiss between two minds.   a very vulnerable experience.  “   

with a look,  garrick reminds him of the rarity of chris allowing himself that experience.   the clock on the guitar pick table clicks to indicate that they only have a few minutes left of their session,  which is usually when garrick prefers to turn the conversation towards a lighter mood so that chris doesn’t leave the office with a tremendous weight over his head.

“  phil sounds like he’s a good friend,   when you let him be.  “ 

that’s why you called me and not the cops. 

“  he is.  “

five.   “  as always i’ve got chris,  meech,  and scott.  “   says phil from behind him.  chris turns just in time to catch a bounce pass and tucks the ball under his arm.   the sun hangs directly over their heads so their shadows don’t stretch very far across the asphalt.  one of the interns who they can always count on being goaded into a game of pick up puts enough stretch into his lunge to make chris smile despite how unwell he feels.  “  i think i’m gonna sit this one out.  “   he says and passes the ball back to phil.   waves off the look of interest he meets on ed’s face.   “  its hot.  i’m tired.  “  there had been a brief discussion earlier in the day about how little sleep chris had gotten the night before.   that may be why phil doesn’t fight him.

“  you can be our cheerleader.  “   phil says.  “  shame you don’t still have the skirt.  “

“  what makes you think i don’t have the skirt?  “    phil pauses mid jump shot,  and chris meets his eye from over the textured curve of the basketball.   “  don’t toy with me,  brady.  “  chris blows back that kiss he’d been saving in his back pocket.   phil takes one hand off the basketball to catch it in mid air with a wink and uses it put a little umph into the three pointer that the intern makes a comment about it absolutely not counting.

Falling into internet rabbit holes often lead to extremely different places from where you start.

I started my day listening to a two part podcast about Nakam. They mentioned a song by a klezmer band called Daniel Kahn and the Painted Bird. That led me to Wikipedia which told me Daniel Kahn does a cover of Hallelujah in Yiddish. I listen to it (and of course ball my eyes out like I always do with any version of hallelujah). The English translation of the Yiddish translation was included on the video and the last verse really resonated with me.

And that’s all, it’s not a lot. In the meantime, I’ll do what I do. I come here like a mensch, not a scoundrel. Though all is lost anyway, I will praise Adonai, and cry like “L’chaim”: Hallelujah.

I (like many others) will latch on to lyrics and give them a personal twist. I’m don’t think Leonard Cohen meant “ I’m trying my best and even thought everything around me seems fucked I’m going to praise anyway because it won’t be fucked forever” that is how my heart understood it.

Then I remembered the Kate McKinnon (as Hilary Clinton) cold open after the 2016 election when she sang Hallelujah. I watch it again and remember when I first watched it in 2016. I remember sobbing then. Like full on ugly sobbing. I was so sad and scared and heartbroken and mad that 45 had been elected. It’s been sevenish years since, but every time I watch it (including today) I cry.

YouTube then suggested the SNL skit where Alec Baldwin as Trump sang it. It was the first time I laughed while hearing the song.

I did not expect to go from a podcast about Nakam to an SNL kit but rabbit holes be weird some times.

NEW YORK, NY — Saturday Night Live, a show dedicated solely to solemn social critiques and pedantic lectures, has made waves after inviting a real live comedian to perform.

With actual comedian Dave Chapelle slated to host SNL this weekend, the show's writers and cast members were reportedly working tirelessly to prepare for the exposure to comedy.

"It's a big change for us, trying this 'comedy' thing," said castmember Kate McKinnon while using air quotes. McKinnon is best known for her recurring role as Hillary Clinton being somber, sad, and full of gloom. "I've been working on a few 'jokes' myself. Here's my best one..."

McKinnon then proceeded to rant for seven minutes on how Donald Trump was a bad man.

Other cast members have been working on material that they believe this Chapelle fellow would find funny. Cecily Strong, for instance, prepared an outright hilarious sketch about how abortions should be required by law. Michael Che wrote a laugh-out-loud bit in which he calls all white people demons again. Showing the most comedic potential of the group, Pete Davidson was seen staring at a wall and drooling. The entire SNL cast seemed to be rising to the challenge of being funny.

At publishing time, SNL stirred up more controversy by inviting an actual guest musician, Megadeth.

Saturday night live performer showcase 2017

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE PERFORMER SHOWCASE 2017 MOVIE

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE PERFORMER SHOWCASE 2017 PROFESSIONAL

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE PERFORMER SHOWCASE 2017 TV

Perry has played SNL before, but never with the kind of big stage ambition she put forward in this episode. The sketch argues that what we identify as evil actually matters-if only to disqualify the things that aren’t.īoth Katy Perry musical performances-“Swish, Swish” and “Bon Appétit”-were spectacular pieces of live production and performance that both elevated the songs and raised the bar for Studio 8H music performances. This is dangerously wicked satire, but the show’s writers walk that tightrope with great precision. Johnson’s performance here, as the creator of a child-molesting robot, is his best of the night. “World’s Most Evil Invention,” an annual meeting of the International Mad Scientist Society, may be the season’s darkest (and most thrilling) sketch. Strong’s Gemma is one of her best characters. I’ve spent a lot of time praising the show’s pre-tape production unit in the past, so I’d be remiss if I didn’t point out how stunning an accomplishment this sketch was. What a wonder of live television production “Gemma With Dwayne Johnson” is! The incredible set, the live directing, the immaculately executed water gag: this was a very expensive and complicated piece to pull off. (Moynihan’s sitcom Me, Myself, and I was just greenlit by CBS and will debut in the fall.) Expect both of these actors to excel in television and film roles in the coming years. Bayer in particular has really grown into one of the show’s most valuable players over the past two seasons. And no matter what you think of McKinnon’s achingly earnest Hillary farewell last November, this riff dismisses it-or at the very least diminishes it.īoth Moynihan and Bayer have served as reliably funny, blue collar cast members-meaning their workmanlike approach to comic character building has been an incredible asset to SNL writers and producers. This is a season roll call and bow-nothing more, nothing less. But the piece offers little if any political bite at all-which is odd given the week that was in U.S. What is clear is that SNL believes its Trump-inspired work is this season’s raison d’être (a claim the president himself might assert), and that they deserve a moment of congratulations for that. At once a curtain call for the basket of Trump deplorables SNL has given us this year (including Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka, but without Melissa McCarthy’s Sean Spicer) and a riff on one of this season’s most earnest and controversial moments-Kate McKinnon as Hillary singing “Hallelujah” the Saturday after Leonard Cohen died and Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump-it is difficult to discern what the intent is. “Hallelujah Cold Open” is a strange opening to the last show of the season. Could it be that The Rock is just too good at this?

But it is this precision-honed over years of film acting, stunt choreography and professional wrestling-that ultimately makes his SNL work come off flat.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE PERFORMER SHOWCASE 2017 MOVIE

The action movie star-turned- SNL guest host is a role Johnson himself pioneered, and it’s a role he willingly inhabits and plays to perfection.

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE PERFORMER SHOWCASE 2017 TV

But it is strange to see him occupy TV comedy’s center stage. And he is here, hosting SNL, due to the release of his new action-comedy Baywatch. Johnson is the biggest movie star in the world right now. Seeing him there, standing alongside host legends Alec Baldwin and Tom Hanks in “Dwayne Johnson Five-Timers Monologue,” is interesting. Saturday Night Live’s 42nd season will be remembered as one of its best-even though the season’s finale, hosted by five-time guest host Dwayne Johnson, isn’t its best episode.

Mr Bungle - Quote Unquote (Travolta) 

[dannyandtheinfiniteplaylist]

hey gang, if you’re looking for some new music this band High Castle Teleorkestra just launched a kickstarter for their second single. It’s already funded but they still have 11 days to go to make some additional cash on top so why not head on over and chuck some money their way to help support some independent musicians during these crazy times.

Their first single “Ich Bin’s” was one of my favourite tracks of last year, and this new single, “Valisystem A,” was written by the legenday Clinton “Bar” McKinnon (of Mr. Bungle and Umlaut fame) so it’s bound to be a real barn-burner. Their first single also came grouped with an outstanding b-side and a handful of different “dressed down” mixes of the two tracks to give you an idea of how the piece sounds in different states. On top of that they also sent the sheet music along with the tracks so you can try playing them yourselves! Just a real wonderful package all around, and I’m sure this second single will be no different!

[stopandimagineloveforever]

Congratulations to these two on incredible runs on SNL. Can't wait to see all you do next. - via Hillary Clinton on Instagram
