Cultural Facts:
- Label Rejection: Columbia Records famously declined to release Various Positions in the United States, even though it contained “Hallelujah,” a song that would eventually become one of Cohen’s most celebrated compositions.
- Songwriting Lore: Cohen worked obsessively on “Hallelujah,” reportedly filling notebooks with dozens of discarded verses before arriving at the version recorded for the album.
- Dark Inspiration: “Dance Me to the End of Love” was partly inspired by accounts of string musicians forced to perform beside crematoria in Nazi concentration camps, turning what sounds like a romantic song into something far darker about love in the presence of death.

This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
