My Sister's Keeper is a new film that will be out this Friday. And it features a fairly decent soundtrack. One of the songs on the soundtrack is a previously unreleased Jeff Buckley song called We All Fall In Love Sometimes. The song was written by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. So, it is definitely an interesting song, especially in light of the recently released Grace Around The World which fe...

So here's a question I've been asking for awhile, "Whatever happened to that damn Jeff Buckley biopic that was announced years ago that seems to have gone nowhere?". Good to know the project is back underway with, "Finally some new news via the Australian press, which we can confirm we've known about for some time. Orian Williams, who produced the well-received Joy Division, Ian Curtis biopic,...

The first Hollywood heartthrob to take on the Jeff Buckley biopic project was Brad Pitt (as a producer), but that fizzled out despite the blessing of Buckley’s mother Mary Guibert. Now The Courier Press reports (via The Playlist, via The Daily...

When I saw Hamlet set to the music of Radiohead at the local college it was pretty awful, but I could kind of picture this: William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet has been made into a musical adaptation featuring the songs of Jeff Buckley and, most...

This album, on its surface, didn't strike me as anything overly remarkable when I first hear it. Grace's presentation seemed too flashy and ostentatious, with a singer so in love with his own voice that he has built an hour-long sonic altar to himself. It took a 7 1/2 hour flight from Dallas to Honolulu to give me the mental patience and pliability to give Buckley's debut album an in-depth list...

I was just listening to a studio session of Jeff Buckley’s (RIP) version of “Hallelujah,” and I can’t tell if it has uplifted me or made me depressed. The song gives me chills every time I hear it, because Jeff Buckley had one of the most incredible voices and this cover is probably my favorite [...]

I was on CBC Radio One today, on the show Q, talking about "Hallelujah." The podcast is here--I start around 18 minutes in. CBC listeners, the "Hallelujah" essay is here.For regular readers, new content very soon. And possibly more on Hallelujah (!), or at least Jeff Buckley, since apparently not everyone agrees with me about him.

In 1998 or 1999 I crowded into the top floor of a little church in Noe Valley with a few hundred Jeff Buckley fans. Jeff's mom, Mary Guibert, was on a tour following Jeff's drowning in 1997. That night, Mary talked and answered questions and then played the "Mystery White Boy" DVD. Jeff's body and music were there onstage, and the TV was big enough that he looked more than half life-sized. At f...

I have just about everything Jeff Buckley ever released, but like an great artist with a posthumous career, more and more stuff keep appearing from his back catalog that sort of cement his infamy. After thoroughly exhausting myself on Buckley's only complete album Grace, and technically incomplete Sketches For My Sweetheart, The Drunk, I discovered his Live at Sin-é E.P., in which he does an am...
